Preventive Mode should be something you understand, not a mysterious switch. Review what it evaluates on your platform, which permissions are active and what happens if a check-in or journey does not go to plan. @appGarly #PersonalSafety

This week has been full of steps forward. We’ve reached out to new people for potential partnerships, submitted new applications to VCs, released Garly Meet, improved the City Ambassadors referral section and launched a small Google Ads campaigns.
New countries have joined Garly and we’ve also reached 1,470 new downloads between October 16 and 18.
Garly is still a small project, but it’s growing, step by step.
And there’s more to come 🧄

Night out in London? The useful safety decision often happens before you leave: trusted contact, route home, check-in and the settings you’re comfortable with. @appGarly #LondonSafety #NightOut

One thing I’ve been learning from Garly’s Firebase Analytics is that building a personal safety app comes with a rather interesting challenge.
You’re building something you hope people will never actually need to use in an emergency.
And that makes keeping users engaged a little more complicated than it might seem.
Garly isn’t a social media app. Its purpose isn’t to keep people staring at their screens for hours. It’s to be there when they need it.
But that doesn’t mean there isn’t room to improve the experience.
Analytics are not just numbers to celebrate. They’re an opportunity to understand how people interact with what you’re building, what works and what could be better.
One of the next improvements will focus on the very first experience with Garly.
Instead of immediately asking new users to register, I want to create a more immersive introduction, allowing people to explore the app, understand its purpose and discover its features before creating an account.
The challenge isn’t to make people spend more time on Garly. It’s to make them understand why it’s worth keeping 🧄
So, next steps:
- Make the number of actual downloads coming from Ambassador referral links trackable and verifiable.
- Optimize Garly for iPhone Duo.
- Make the first experience with Garly simpler, more intuitive and easier for new users to explore

Next Steps for the Coming Months:
🧄 Outreach and funding opportunities:
Continue contacting associations, VCs, and individuals who may be interested in Garly. Since yesterday, we’ve already sent 7 emails and submitted one VC application using an updated pitch deck.
🧄 Complete Garly Dating:
Finish developing this new safety feature, which will be renamed to something clearer and less likely to cause confusion about its purpose.
🧄 Improve reliability:
Fix any bugs that arise and continue refining Protection Mode, particularly its highly sensitive setting, to minimize false alarms without compromising safety.
🧄 Develop useful new features:
Keep improving both the Garly app and the City Ambassadors ecosystem powered by $GARLY, focusing on features that bring genuine value to users.
🧄 Resume marketing:
Build up enough funds to restart paid marketing campaigns, especially Google Ads, which has objectively delivered the best results for Garly so far.
🧄 Understand how Garly is being used:
Start tracking feature activations and usage to identify which safety modes people use most, understand user behavior, and make better development decisions based on real data.
The goal is simple: keep building, improving, learning and growing Garly step by step.
There’s still a lot of work ahead, but Garly is already a real, functioning product available on both major app stores. Now it’s about making it better, reaching more people and building something sustainable 🦾
