lookout.

Community safety information in South Africa

A useful local update can help someone else plan their day. Lookout is being built to help neighbours share information responsibly and understand what’s been reported around them.

Local reports in one place

Community reporting and incident updates bring local context together. Alert zones let people follow places that matter to them, including home, work and destinations.

A review before publication

Reports and discussions go through moderation before they appear. Review does not independently verify every detail, and information may change as an incident develops.

Respect people’s boundaries

Shared awareness does not require publishing someone’s private live location. Family sharing and trusted-contact SOS are separate from the public incident map.

Help shape where we go next

We plan to start in Cape Town and Johannesburg, then expand with growth and community requests. Community organisations interested in Lookout can contact support@plexus.dev.

Coming soon. Join the waitlist for launch updates.
