Love this idea and something like it is unfortunately much needed. Companion is also a good one.
Stefan Bech
@rrhoover thanks for the kind words! We love what the Companion team is doing and hope that we, too, will be able to put a dent in the anxiety that so many people feel when they're out alone after dark. We believe safety should be a social experience, so we designed Watcher for groups of friends to watch out for each other after a night out and stay connected through built-in messaging and location sharing until everyone is home safe.

Looking forward to see how it works. The idea behind it is very good.

Seems similar to companion... what are the differentiating factors here?
Joelle Alcaidinho
@bentossell it looks like the differentiator is its Companion for the EU?
Stefan Bech
@bentossell we're working on the same problem but coming at it from a more social angle. Watcher is designed for groups of friends to watch out for each other after a night out until everyone is home safe. We hope to make safety a social experience with built-in messaging, user profiles, etc.

The good thing about Watcher is that is working in Latin America. Well, that's the good thing for me 😬

Couldn't get passed the first sign up step. +961 invalid country code.

@krmneimneh we'll open up for Lebanese phone numbers today :) Please terminate the app and try again in a couple of hours. Then you should see +961 in the list.

Reminds me of the defunct @MrGabriel_app, too bad they had to pull the plug.

I've used Glympse for this. Bonus: Android app.
