Nearby incident awareness and alert zones
Get more context before making everyday plans. Lookout is being built to bring nearby community-reported incidents, alerts for your places and incident updates into one app.
A map for nearby context
Explore reports around home, work or a destination. The map brings reported activity into one place; it is not a complete record of everything happening in an area or a guarantee that a route is safe.
Alerts for the places you care about
Alert zones let you choose areas and incident categories you want to follow. Relevant updates can help you stay informed without repeatedly checking different community groups.
Updates as information develops
Reports and discussions can provide additional context as an incident develops. Moderation happens before publication, but it does not independently verify every detail. Information can be incomplete, delayed or change.
Starting in South Africa
Cape Town and Johannesburg are our planned first cities. Lookout has not publicly launched. The app screenshots show development screens; this website does not publish a live incident feed.
