B.E
Guardian.

A travel-safety platform in your pocket: a live map of Rio that knows the hour, one-tap SOS that reaches a real crew, a Lookout you can hire, real payments in two currencies, and a concierge that answers. It started as a focused first release and has been shipping ever since.

01 · Goal

One home for the whole trip

Travelers had a confirmation email, a PDF guide, and a group chat scattered across three apps. The brief: pull it all into one place that opens on the home screen and feels like a real app, not a web page.

02 · Constraint

It has to work with no signal

People land in a new country with a dead SIM and no Wi-Fi. The itinerary, the guide, and the crew details had to be on the phone already, ready the second they touch down at Galeão.

Prove we build apps

This is The Pagecrafter's flagship app: the same care as the website, on a phone. Installable, fast, accessible, and owned outright, with no monthly platform tax behind it.

The first version: brief to installable.

What shipped

  • A five-tab app: Today, Trip, Guardian, Add-ons, and Concierge, each doing one job well.
  • An installable PWA first, added from a link, then wrapped and released through the App Store.
  • Full offline support: a service worker caches the trip, so it loads with no signal.
  • A client-side concierge bot that answers from the BBE playbook, with no API cost.
  • A Guardian safety net: phone-away zones, snatch detection, red-zone alerts, and one-tap SOS.
  • WCAG AA: heading order, focus states, alt text, reduced motion, and safe-area insets.

From app to platform.

  • Real payments: Stripe checkout with subscriptions, coupon windows, refunds, and Brazilian Pix in reais.
  • Passwordless accounts: email magic links and invite codes for booked travelers.
  • A live safety map of Rio: 85+ zones that know the hour, robbery vs theft handled differently, police-presence aware.
  • One-tap SOS that fans out to the whole crew, with a realtime team dashboard behind an admin key.
  • A Lookout marketplace: browse vetted locals nearby, meet free, hire on the spot, with an on-call shift board for the crew.
  • Travel Buddy matching, an ambassador program with a commission ledger, and a full EN/PT language toggle.
  • Store-ready: the same codebase wrapped for iOS, released on the App Store, with Google Play prepped.
