Four steps. One community.
- Step 1
An official alert goes out
Only from the authority that issues it.
- Step 2
A person checks it
Every detail is matched. Nothing is guessed.
- Step 3
You share it in one tap
You pick where it goes.
- Step 4
Everyone hears the good news
Sharing stops, and the page shows it’s over.
Your privacy comes first.
The app works without knowing who you are.
No name or phone number
The app never asks who you are.
No account or password
Nothing to sign up for.
No contacts
Your friends list stays yours.
No background tracking
You pick the areas you care about.
No ads, ever
And we never sell your data.
Delete it in one tap
Right from the app’s settings.
What the app does keep: a random device ID, a notification token, the areas you pick and your settings, with no name attached. The waitlist keeps only the email and city you type in. Full privacy page

Questions
Can I use Hope Relay today?
Not yet. It’s in development and isn’t connected to official alert feeds, so it can’t send real alerts. Join the waitlist and we’ll tell you when it’s ready.
Is this a government service?
No. Hope Relay is an independent project. Your phone’s official emergency alerts stay on and work the same as before.
What personal details do you keep?
The app keeps only a random device ID, a notification token, the areas you pick and your settings. There is no name attached, and you can erase it all in the app. The waitlist keeps the email and city you give us until you remove them. Full privacy page.
Will you post from my accounts?
Only if you turn it on. By default you see the post, tap Share and choose where it goes. If you choose to connect an account in the app, Hope Relay posts official alerts there for you and takes them down when the alert ends. You can disconnect anytime.
Where will alerts come from?
Only from official authorities. That requires approved access to a government alert feed or a partnership, which we don’t have yet. See what’s needed.
What does it cost?
It will be free, with no ads and no subscription.
What should I do if I see something?
Call 911, or the number in the alert. Don’t approach anyone, and don’t report sightings to us.
