What the Evadis app does, how to say the name, and why a safety app is named in Latin.
Evadis (evadis.app) is a crew-first personal-safety app. It is built around a ritual that already exists and that nobody had to be taught: “text me when you get home.” Millions of people run that ritual by hand every night, with group chats and half-remembered promises. The Evadis app makes it real — and makes it impossible to forget.
It opens on your friends' live status, not on a panic button. That is a deliberate choice: the app you actually open is the one that shows you something warm, not the one that reminds you to be afraid.
A check-in can be set anywhere from 2 minutes to 7 days, so one session covers a ten-minute walk home just as well as a ski day, a camping weekend or a week of solo travel. Longer sessions get a proportionally earlier heads-up before a check-in is due — a few minutes ahead on a short timer, a couple of hours ahead on a multi-day one. Your crew sees the same live timer either way.
Evadis is Latin for “you come through” — you make it. Not a wish, not a warning: a statement, in the second person, about you specifically.
It is the exact sentence the product is built around. When you tap “I'm home” and the people watching see it land, that is the whole thing — the moment somebody who cares about you finds out you came through. Most safety products are named after the bad thing they are afraid of. This one is named after the ending you actually get, almost every single time.
The other reason is honesty about scale: this is a small, independent app. A name that says something true is worth more than a name that sounds like a security company.
Location, if you switch it on for a session, is shared only during that live session, only with the crew you chose, and is deleted within 24 hours — the app refuses to display anything older than that. Photos you attach to a session are deleted 24 hours after it ends. There is no always-on tracking to switch off, because there is none to begin with.
The full detail — every field, why it exists, and how long it is kept — is in the privacy policy, which was written from the actual database rather than from a template.
The people who watch over you never pay, never install anything, and never need an account. They get an email with a link to a live page that works in any browser. That is a public promise, not an introductory offer — charging someone for the privilege of caring about their friend is not a business we want to be in.
Evadis is a web app: open app.evadis.app in your phone's browser and add it to your home screen, and it behaves like any other app — full screen, its own icon, push notifications. It updates itself, so you are always on the current version.
Evadis is a personal-safety web app. You start a session before a walk home, a date, a rideshare or a night out; the friends you choose (your “crew”) watch a live check-in timer; if you miss a check-in they are alerted; when you tap “I’m home” the session ends and your streak grows.
Eh-VAH-dis — the “VAH” as in father, with the stress on the middle syllable.
It is Latin for “you come through” — “you make it.” It is the sentence the app is built around: the moment you tap “I’m home” and the people watching see that you came through.
Yes, and being someone’s crew is free forever — crew members need no app and no account. A paid tier for the person being watched is planned, but every safety feature will always work on the free tier.
Yes. A check-in can be anywhere from 2 minutes to 7 days, so one session can cover a walk home or a whole travel day. Longer sessions get a proportionally earlier heads-up before a check-in is due, and your crew sees the same live timer either way.
No. In a life-threatening emergency you should always call 911 first. Evadis alerts the friends you chose — it does not contact emergency services and has no dispatch.
Not continuously. There is no always-on tracking. If you switch location on for a session, it is shared only during that live session, only with your chosen crew, and it is deleted 24 hours later at the latest.
The demo runs a whole watched session in two minutes — the timer, a missed check-in, the home-safe moment. No account, nothing sent to anyone.
