Why safety when going out is still a real issue
A safety assistant for the moments that matter most
Going out should be enjoyable, but many people still feel unsafe when walking home, waiting at stops, or passing through quiet streets. These vulnerable moments reduce people’s confidence to go out at night and affect social freedom and wellbeing.
Risks are driven by poor lighting, low foot traffic, unclear routes and lack of quick help. That’s why practical tools for improving personal safety are vital: safe route planning, instant emergency contacts and easy evidence capture. Heira focuses on these needs with keywords like safety, going out, personal safety app, route planning, emergency contacts and evidence storage.
With Heira we aim to restore confidence in going out: less fear, smarter choices, and a safer night out for everyone.
The Features
Route planner
Follow a safer route home and avoid unnecessary risk on the way there. With our map, you'll always know the nearest safe place to stay in case of emergency.
Safe spaces
Find nearby places where you can go if you need extra safety while out. Each SafeSpace is verified by several other users before being offered, to ensure no false reports.
Community board
Stay connected to other people while going out. Each user is verified to ensure a safe and trusted environment. Schedule meet-ups and walk-alongs so everyone can make it to their destination safely.
Audio recorder
Capture audio on the go to safely store evidence when it matters most. When you feel stuck or intimidated, you can record the events and store the audio locally for the future.
Verified members
Members can achieve verified status through an ID check. Don't worry! The app is still accessible without offering this data, but the social aspects of Heira will not be available for unverified users.

Heira's Development
3 students working together
Three students are collaboratively working on the same core concept for their bachelor’s project. While the underlying idea and objectives of the project are shared, each student will independently design and develop their own version of the safety application.
This approach allows for individual implementation, creativity, and technical decision-making, while maintaining a common conceptual foundation across all projects.
