Consumer & Safety Apps
Consumer apps must be simple, fast and trustworthy – especially when they handle location, video or personal data. Assystant builds mobile apps for personal safety, everyday productivity and social connection, with privacy built in from the start.
Apps people trust with their location and data
We built Redecam’s discreet personal safety app, which captures video, audio and location data to alert contacts during emergencies; Laststop’s location-based reminder app, which uses geofencing to alert users exactly when tasks become relevant; and the Progressive Web App front end for Culapp’s college social platform.
of US adults have a smartphone, and 41% say they are online almost constantly.
Problems we have solved in consumer apps
Each row links to the case study with the full story.
| The problem | What we built | Case study |
|---|---|---|
| A safety app has to work when the user can’t openly use the phone | A discreet personal safety app that raises the alarm silently | Redecam |
| Many tasks belong to a place, not a time | Reminders triggered by location | Location-based reminders |
| A college social network had to work on the web and on phones | An app-like social network built as a PWA | Culapp |
Where AI makes consumer apps safer and more personal
AI can personalise what users see, detect risky situations sooner and help moderate social spaces. We build these features with privacy by design, clear consent and on-device processing where it makes sense.
Our teams cover the full lifecycle: discovery with your stakeholders, UX and product design, web and mobile development, integration with the systems you already run, and ongoing support from Bangalore with working hours that overlap the USA, Europe, MENA and APAC.
