Getting Started
Sign Up Free
Create your account in seconds. Choose your country, set up your reporter profile, and you are ready to report.
Report an Incident
See something happening? Tap "Report", add a title, description, photos or video. Your location is captured automatically for nearby alerts.
AI Moderation
Your report is instantly reviewed by our AI system which checks for misinformation, harmful content, and assigns an initial credibility score.
Community Verification
Nearby citizens can confirm or dispute your report. Each confirmation strengthens its credibility and boosts its position in the feed.
Build Your Trust Score
Accurate, verified reports earn you trust points. Your trust level (New → Community → Trusted → Elite → Investigative) unlocks more features and higher earning rates.
Earn from Your Reporting
Readers tip you, media houses license your content, you claim bounties, earn from ad revenue pools, and more. All paid directly to your bank account.
Verification Levels
Reports gain verification over time. For live and breaking news, post immediately — verification catches up after the fact. Higher verification = higher feed ranking and higher earnings.
