The challenge we solve

Public safety information in the U.S. is available, but timeliness and usability are uneven — families often bounce between state registries, static crime maps, and neighborhood groups. Guardely set out to:

  • Unify signals— registered offender data + recent local crime — into a single, real-time, mobile-first feed;
  • Reduce alert fatigue with smarter notifications;
  • Protect privacy while supporting background location for timely alerts;
  • Scale nationally with state-level coverage.

What we built for people safety

A real-time safety layer for everyday life

On iOS and Android, Guardely surfaces proximity alerts (nearby registered offenders) andcrime alerts (recently reported incidents) as you travel — so safety context arrives when and where it matters. The product copy and learn pages emphasize on-the-go alerts and “danger zones” on a map.

Search, profiles, maps — designed for quick decisions

Users can search by place, open map view, and tap into offender profilesthat include addresses, charges, aliases, and mugshots (Pro).The States directory backs nationwide discoverability for U.S. users.

Family tracking that respects consent

Family Tracking (Pro) adds real-time location with a90-day history, plus customizable alerts around saved places (home, school, work). FAQ copy clarifies that sharing is permission-based and revocable by the user.

Clear packaging & a trial that lowers friction

Free: up to 25 searches/month, 2 alerts, basic map.Pro:unlimited searches/alerts, offender updates, full profiles, family tracking, and danger zone notifications. Site CTAs advertise afree trial to sample premium features before subscribing.

Platform & privacy fit

iOS: Universal app for iPhone/iPad/Mac (Apple Silicon); App Privacy shows Identifiers/Usage Data may be used to track you, and calls out background location usage. Subscriptions list weekly/monthly/yearly options.
Android: Listing shows 10K+ installs, Aug 20, 2025 update, and Data Safety with no data collected/shared + encrypted in transit + request deletion.

Outcomes & impact delivered

  • Faster situational awareness: Real-time “Danger Zone Alerts” notify users as they approach offender addresses or areas with recent crime — moving from static charts to actionable signals.
  • National footprint:AU.S. States index supports broad coverage and discoverability across the country.
  • User adoption signals: Android shows 10K+ installs; iOS lists an active release cadence (v2.1.6, Sep 19, 2025).
  • Trust posture: Guardely’s Privacy Policy states personal data isn’t sold and details how location and usage data are used for alerts and family tracking; Terms prohibit harassment/misuse and clarify no guarantee of absolute accuracy.

Context: U.S. offender information is also searchable on the National Sex Offender Public Website (NSOPW), the DOJ’s portal to state registries—helpful background for non-U.S. readers. (Guardely aggregates official, publicly available sources; NSOPW is cited here for context.)

How CGP Systems delivered value

Product strategy & UX

  • Just-in-time safety: We oriented the experience around proximity + crime alerts and danger-zone mapping, so safety cues appear as you entera risky area (not after the fact).
  • Signal > noise: Notification logic and copy are tuned to reduce duplicates and cluster similar incidents (as described in launch comms), lowering alert fatigue.
  • Clear plan differentiation: Feature tables and FAQ copy make Free vs. Pro benefits obvious at a glance, with a trial to remove friction.

Engineering & platform craft

  • Geo-awareness: Background location (with explicit OS permissions) powers timely alerts when users are moving; iOS metadata calls this out for transparency.
  • Nationwide coverage: We aligned the States taxonomy and searches with U.S. geography to support 50-state discoverability.
  • Mobile release ops: Regular updates on both stores keep polish high and APIs current (e.g., Aug 20, 2025 on Android; Sep 19, 2025 on iOS).

Data, privacy & compliance

  • Data sources: The FAQ explains Guardely aggregates publicly available data from law-enforcement agencies and syncs regularly. We built in flows to report inaccuracies for review.
  • Privacy posture: Public policy states no selling/sharing of personal data, controlled family-tracking permissions, encryption, and deletion options; store listings mirror these expectations for each platform.
  • Acceptable-use guardrails: Terms require lawful use, 18+, and prohibit harassment or intimidation based on offender data.

What this means for your team

If you’re building location-aware safety or compliance apps:

  • Design for the moment of decision— push alerts when risk becomes proximate, not hours later.
  • Balance insight with restraint— cluster notifications to avoid alert fatigue.
  • Make privacy explicit— surface background-location use, data categories, and deletion controls in-app and on store pages.
  • Clarify acceptable use— codify lawful-use terms and anti-harassment rules around sensitive datasets.
