About this app

Know what's happening on your streets — as it happens.

WatchTower is Australia's community safety network. Thousands of members report suspicious activity, theft, break-ins and public safety incidents in real time — so you hear about trouble on your street before it reaches your door.

🗺️ LIVE CRIME MAP
See what's happening around you on an interactive map — community reports and verified emergency incidents, tracked around the clock across Australia. Filter by recency, tap any marker for details, and watch your area in real time.

🛡️ LIVE SAFETY SCORE
Every area gets a live safety rating from 0–100, weighted by what's actually been reported nearby and how recently. Check the score before you park, walk, or house-hunt.

🚨 INSTANT LOCAL ALERTS
Set alert zones around home, work, school — anywhere you care about — and get a push notification the moment something is reported inside them. No spam, no noise from the other side of the country. Just what matters to you.

📢 REPORT IN SECONDS
Spot something suspicious? Report it in a few taps with photos and location. Smart AI filtering keeps personal details out and keeps reports clean, so the community stays informed and safe.

Walk With Me — timed check-ins for late walks; miss a check-in and your circle is alerted with your live trail

🔒 BUILT FOR PRIVACY
Anonymous reporting. AI-powered personal-information filtering. Your location is only collected while you use the app, and live sharing only runs during a safety session you start — it stops the moment the session ends.
