Personal safety is not just a women’s issue, it is something that affects everyone. Late night commuters, delivery workers, travelers, students anyone can feel unsafe. Most safety apps today are either focused on one gender or depend on the user to manually trigger an alert, which doesn’t help much if someone is in shock or unable to act. Rakshak is designed to change that by creating a truly inclusive and intelligent safety network.

Rakshak uses adaptive monitoring powered by AI. Instead of rigid check ins, the app learns your usual patterns like commute times, routes, and walking speed to adjust its alerts. If you miss a check in, it quietly gives you warnings before involving others. After three missed confirmations, it shares your live location with your chosen contacts. By the fifth missed check in, it escalates with automated calls to your loved ones or local authorities.

Some key features that make Rakshak different:

• Context awareness: detects sudden movements or suspicious sounds on your phone to trigger early warnings while keeping your data private

• Smart route prediction: guides you toward well lit and busier areas if you stray from your usual path

• Voice codes: a simple phrase can cancel an alert or send an SOS without even unlocking your phone

• Inclusive by design: meant for anyone who could feel vulnerable, not limited to one gender

This idea matters to me because I have seen people of all genders feel unsafe just walking home or traveling. Safety should not depend on luck or on tools built for only some of us. Rakshak is meant to be a reliable companion for everyone.
