NaakaAlert
Live naaka alerts from fellow commuters, with safe energy
NaakaAlert is a free, real-time map where commuters pin traffic checkpoints (naakas). Get alerted within 500 m, confirm or clear pins, and old pins expire on their own. Speaks English, Hinglish & Hyderabadi, with a pre-ride Vibe Check to ride legal.
Every Indian commuter knows the feeling: you turn a corner and there's a naaka (a traffic checkpoint) and a 20-minute queue. You had your helmet and documents, but nobody told you to budget the time.
NaakaAlert is a live, crowdsourced map for that:
🚨 Drop a pin in one tap (or search a junction) and tag it: helmet check, documents, breath analyzer, speed camera or diversion
🔔 Get an alert when you're within 500 m of a pin, with vibration, sound and a meme caption
👀 "Still there" keeps a pin alive, 3 × "Gone 💨" clears it, and every pin expires within 2 hours, so the map never goes stale
🗣️ Vibe languages: English Meme, Hinglish ("Bhai U-turn maar le 🙏") and Hyderabadi ("Kya re mamu, aage naaka hai 😭")
✅ A pre-ride Vibe Check: helmet, licence, RC, PUC, sober
🚕 Breath-analyzer alerts suggest booking a cab, never a "side road"
Privacy: no sign-up needed. You get an anonymous username + emoji avatar. Your location stays on your phone and is only used while the app is open; we never store your movement history.
It's a free PWA. Open the link on your phone and tap "Add to Home Screen".
I'd love feedback on:
1. Which city should we seed first?
2. What would make you trust a pin more?
3. Should we add Kannada / Tamil / Marathi vibes next?
Ride legal, ride safe 🫡
