Streetwise helps you find the safest walking routes, not just the fastest. Built after learning that 8/10 women in Paris experience street harassment. Streetwise shows you the fastest and safest paths at the same time. The community can report incidents in real time, and each route gets a safety score from 1 to 10. You can trigger a fake call if you feel uncomfortable, and the app avoids risky areas on its own. 100% free. Help us make cities safer & share feedback!
Living in Paris, I was shocked to learn that 8 out of 10 women here have experienced harassment in public spaces. In our street interviews, EVERY single woman we spoke to had a story about feeling unsafe walking home.
That's why we built Streetwise. because existing maps only care about speed, not safety.
We're early but live! Some features we'd love feedback on:
The safety algorithm: Routes scoring below 7/10 automatically reroute around danger zones. Fake call feature: One tap triggers a realistic incoming call. To appear busy. Incident reporting: Takes 10 seconds to report.
We especially want to hear from: - Women who walk alone at night - what features would make you feel safer? - Anyone who's tried similar apps - what did they miss? - Developers - how can we better use community data?
The app is a web app (installable on any phone) and works only in Paris for now.
Try it at street-wise.app and let us know what would make you actually use this daily! 🙏
I live in Atlanta and this is a wonderful product that I think every city needs! With high crime rate in my own city I literally avoid going anywhere alone and don't attend live experiences even for professional networking events due to the issue of being afraid to travel alone. Thank you for sharing such a much-needed product for humanity!
Not sure how a woman walking around at night and now looking at her phone makes things safer. More of a target?
Nice! I remember Strava a few years ago trying to do this, focusing on exercise. I'm not sure what happened to it.
Great idea, so needed. Love this in London. Let us know what we can do if not in Paris to help test it out.
Great idea! Would be super interested into which kind of data you include in the algorithm.
