For domestic violence advocates and coalition staff
Look closely before you recommend it.
Enter a survivor-facing app or website. The tool reads what is public, checks it against survivor-safety criteria, and drafts findings you keep or reject one by one. It never calls anything safe. You decide.
- Gather public evidenceWe read the product website, app stores, and relevant public sources.
- Draft evidence-backed findingsWe check safety questions against the public record and surface evidence, conflicts, and gaps.

Why this exists
Why does survivor-facing technology need a different kind of review?
Privacy, security, access, reliability, and device traces can carry different consequences when technology is used in the context of domestic violence.
Why Survivor Tech Review existsHow it works
From a web address to a completed technology safety review
Read
Public pages, app store listings, and archive history, read the way a visitor's browser would.
Search
News, incidents, regulators, and independent reviews, question by question, digging deeper when results are thin.
Check
Statements and claims are catalogued, then checked against the survivor-safety framework. Every quote is matched word for word.
You decide
You keep or reject every finding, review the summary, and export a technical report or survivor handout. Nothing is final until you have.
Estimated review time: Standard (~2 minutes), Extended research (~8 minutes).
Boundaries
What it never does
Never signs up or logs in
Only what any visitor can see. No accounts, no passwords.
Never attacks or penetrates systems
No active probing, unauthorized penetration attacks, or password attempts. Everything inspected is publicly delivered to a standard web browser.
Never stores your review
Nothing is kept on the server. You save the review file yourself.
Never certifies an app as safe
It shows what is known, claimed, and missing. The recommendation is yours.
