Ripple - BETA
This is a BETA version of this app! We are working now to add support to as many other apps as possible. ChatSecure, Orweb, Umbrella, and Zom already have support, these apps are coming soon: Courier, PanicButton, OpenKeychain, Orfox, SMSSecure, StoryMaker.
Here are two example scenarios:
* An organization gets regularly raided by the security forces, who search all of the computers and mobile devices on the premises. The organization usually has at least a minute or two of warning before a raid starts. They need a very reliable way to trigger wiping all of the data from the sensitive apps.
* An aid worker has lots of sensitive data about people on their device. They regularly sync that data up with a secure, central database. Occasionally, the aid worker has to leave the country on very short notice. The border guards regularly download the entire contents of mobile devices of people crossing through. While waiting in line at the border, the aid worker sees the border guards seizing people's devices, and then remembers all the data on the device, so she unlocks her phone and hits the wipe trigger, which wipes all sensitive apps from the device. When the aid worker returns to the central office, the device is again synced up with the central database.
This was started as part of the T2 Panic work, since sharing location is so often a part of panic apps. Follow our progress here:https://guardianproject.info/tag/panichttps://dev.guardianproject.info/projects/panic

Good idea but for me anyways, can't find the "edit" icon app states to add ripple apps to. Unable to add or delete apps. Uninstalled reinstalled emptied cache emptied storage reinstalled still problem exists. Android root.
Brilliant idea, I can see huge potential for my growing Guardian Project folder of apps. Because a ripple is something I'd want to initialise suddenly, a widget would be my next preferred feature (maybe pin-protected from accidental press)?
Just started using the application but so far this idea is great! And I can't wait to see all the possibilities that are possible with it. Especially these days this is a needed feature no matter where you live or who you are.
Very less app support. Should add more privacy apps like whatsapp, etc. Overall it's a very good app. I liked the concept And u should add features like auto lock when suspicious activity found and password protection
Couldn't figure out how I personally could benefit from this app but I did see that it could be very helpful to some people whose sensitive information needs to be protected or deleted !
Works great appreciated :-) but its triger not works for signal and silence any solution for me.
This really is some Mission Impossible stuff here. Perhaps the most useful app I've ever met. How stupid of me not to have thought about this!
It didn't work, just the test feature works, there's no option for real situation
Please add linking to real buttosn like vol+ or vol+ Also add ability to Panic with sms and call from Panic number
The level of friction involved in activating the primary function of this app renders it useless.
Pretty great, I wish there were more supported apps
Whoever gives this less than 5 stars should be taken out back and shot like the dog you are. The End
I love beta development it's kinda like the game slender man electronic frontier foundation and freedom of the press WikiLeaks probably turned me on to Haven app and the Guardian project
There is massive room for this in real world applications
great security addition 👍
I wish more apps supported this.
Love this app, though I do believe a particular setting is needed. I like the wind down before any other app settings approve the panic signal, however I would like the option to remove or lower the timer as the tap and swipe seems to be confirmation enough, and possibly integrate a passphrase, be it a particular swipe or fingerprint scan etc etc.
Needs a little work. Great concept. Always need a safety net and risk-possibility emergency override.
The app roots from a great idea, but why only have a few apps? I wish you could add more apps. I have to do a button on my home screen and create a task to do the rest of the apps in cases of emergency. It would be convenient to have them all. I really don't know why you have a few more apps associated with the guardian but it would be very useful.
Obviously only one app affected currently which responds perfectly, really good, easy to use, definitely will keep.
There is a lot of real world need for this app particularly for people crossing alot of borders such as frontline NGO teams. But I am surprised you have not yet added even the most simple application of wiping selected data (not resetting the whole phone).
WHAT AN AMAZING APP!!!! why don't you allow every app on the device to be putt on here ... Firefox, whatsapp, tor, start page, brave, duckduck go, wickr, inbrowzer, email apps text apps, all encryption currency apps, this app has the potential to be amazing.. My phone already has the capability to push wipe the whole phone.. Since I have a blackphone 2 but it factory resets it.. Witch do not want to do... This allows the user to just delete apps uninstall or hide witch is perfect PLEASE PLEASE Fix this amazing app!!!!!!
It's been a while and no progress on Android 5. No apps added and no support featured. If it's only a damn blank app then it's nothing more than a time and space waste.
I love the idea, but support in enough apps to be really useful has been provides for a long time and failed to materialise. What's up with that?
Where is the edit button. Lenovo A536.
Anything by The Guardian Project is worth using!
Add a function to allow the addition of responders.. Then maybe it won't be worthless
Where to my comment disappeared?! ..... I have no button "edit", so I can't add my apps to list. There is just Orfox, was added by itself. Help.
The app only works with F droid and doesnt hide any other applications for me. I made sure other apps were turned on in the menu but it didnt change anything. In fact it opened an app it was set to hide, its a good concept but just doesnt work
