What's new
🍝 The island restaurant is easier: a recipe sheet on the wall lists every recipe by level, with all the ingredients. Customers only order dishes you can actually make, and tapping them shows the recipe. The pot fixes itself if a vegetable runs out. 🏙️ Central City can now be tried without an account: from getcentral.net you can explore the town and play the mini-games in your browser. Send it to your friends and invite them to town!
About this app
Encrypted messages, SOS, and shared location with those who really matter to you.
Read full description
Central keeps the people you care about together and lets you know they're okay, without you having to ask every time. It's not just another messaging app. It's a private space for a family, a group of friends, or anyone who's decided to keep an eye on each other. CONVERSATIONS THAT STAY YOURS Messages, photos, voice notes, and video calls are encrypted from one device to another. The keys stay on your phone: we can't read what you write, even if we wanted to. - Individual and group chats - Calls and video calls - Photos and voice notes - Scheduled messages - Shared notes: a whiteboard that everyone in the group can draw and write together, in real time. SOS A button that alerts your trusted contacts with your exact location. It also works from Quick Settings, without unlocking your phone or opening the app. Central doesn't contact emergency services: it alerts the people you choose. For a real emergency, always call 112. TRAVEL SAFELY You tell them where you're going and who you want to know. During the journey, your guards see where you are on a map; upon arrival, they receive confirmation automatically. If you stop too long or go off-route, they will notice. Useful for returning home in the evening, for a hike, or for a child returning from school. PERIMETER Areas that matter: home, school, work. Those who are caring for you receive an alert when you enter or leave, without having to text "have you arrived?" "I'M OK" CHECK-IN A reminder at agreed-upon times. You touch a button and those following you know that everything is fine. If you don't respond within the allotted time, they are notified. Designed for those who live alone, for an elderly person, and for those who work in isolated places. COMMUNITY AND NOTICEBOARDS Thematic spaces where you can share reports and information with your neighborhood or a larger group. WHY CENTRAL ASKS FOR YOUR LOCATION EVEN WHEN THE APP IS CLOSED Perimeter, Safe Travel, and SOS only work if your phone can detect your location while the app is not in the foreground—otherwise, a zone exit alert would only arrive when you reopen Central, which is too late to be of any use. Your location is shared only with people you authorize, only for features you've activated, and you can revoke it at any time from your profile. We don't sell it, we don't give it to third parties, we don't use it for advertising. NO ADVERTISING Central doesn't display ads and doesn't rely on your data. YOUR ACCOUNT IS YOURS You can export your data or permanently delete your account directly from the app, in two taps, without contacting anyone. --- Central is currently in the testing phase. If something doesn't work as expected, contact us: reports from early adopters are what matter most.
