VeVak

Share a location by SMS with explicitly authorised contacts, without requiring a cloud account or Internet access for the core workflow.

Who is this for?

VeVak aims to let people send their location by SMS to trusted contacts without an Internet connection. Sharing is voluntary and consent matters. Android beta distribution remains delayed, so it is not a validated emergency service.

What it does and what is planned

  • SMS location sharing with explicitly authorised contacts
  • Core workflow without cloud account or Internet connection
  • Permission, notification and anti-tracking safeguards

Latest development

Android fixes and long-term APK signing are being prepared. Distribution to the tester panel remains delayed until installation and security checks are completed.

Known limitations and next steps

  • Tester invitations are delayed pending reliable signed builds and checks on real phones. Google Play closed-test requirements also apply to some developer accounts.
  • Location sharing still requires careful configuration of trusted contacts.
