Wing

3rd out of 47 teams

cmd-f · 2026

A safety app for people living with an abusive partner. It looks and works exactly like a normal weather app, so if the abuser checks the phone, nothing seems unusual.

We were motivated by the number of women who experience intimate partner violence and the aid workers who seek to provide help in secret, providing victims with ways to report their situation without alerting the abuser or raising suspicion. However, we hope that this project can provide help to anyone in an unsafe environment. We built this project to provide aid to individuals in restrictive and unhealthy relationships, providing a private and hidden outlet to chat, find help and respond in emergency situations. The app showcases a fake interface: it would appear as a Weather App to outsiders, but has hidden, protected settings that let the user seek help, find available resources and chat.
