Our purpose

What is The SHTF App?

The SHTF App is a free emergency-preparedness app for iOS and Android. Its purpose is to help individuals and families prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies and natural disasters.

What the app does

The app builds personalized preparedness checklists based on your location, household and local risks. It lets you coordinate with family and neighbors through secure group messaging and gives you access to a community-built library of survival guides and emergency protocols. Everything works offline when connectivity is down.

Sign in and your data

You can create an account with your email and password or continue with Apple or Google. Social sign-in shares only basic profile details with us (your name, your email address and, with Google, your profile picture). We use them solely to create your account, sign you in securely and sync your plans across your devices. We never request access to anything else like your Gmail, Drive or Contacts. We never sell your information. For details, see our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

What is The SHTF App?

+

The SHTF App is a comprehensive emergency preparedness application designed to help individuals and families create personalized survival plans, manage emergency supplies, access the community knowledge base, stay informed during crisis situations and share your knowledge for reputation and tips. It's your all-in-one toolkit for emergency readiness.

How do I sign in and what do you collect?

+

You can create an account with your email and password or continue with Apple or Google. Social sign-in shares only your basic profile details with us, meaning your name, your email address and, with Google, your profile picture. We use them solely to create and secure your account. Read more in our Privacy Policy.

How do content creators make money?

+

Content creators can't sell content directly, but they can definitely get tipped for it. We've built a tipping feature so the community can support the people who help them thrive. We don't take a commission on creators hard work. But to keep the app running and cover the costs of secure payment processing, there is a flat 15% platform and service fee. This ensures that the infrastructure is there for you, while the rest of the support goes exactly where it belongs: to content creators.

Is my data secure?

+

Absolutely. We take data security very seriously. All your information is encrypted both in transit and at rest. We use industry-standard security protocols to protect your personal data and emergency plans. Additionally, you can choose to store critical information locally on your device only, without cloud backup.

Will the app work offline?

+

Yes! This is one of our core features. The SHTF app is designed to function during emergencies when internet connectivity may be unavailable. You can access your emergency plans, survival guides and pre-downloaded maps completely offline. The app will automatically sync your data when connection is restored.

How is this different from other prepper apps?

+

The SHTF App stands out with its personalized approach to emergency preparedness. Rather than generic checklists, our app analyzes your specific geographic risks, family needs and personal circumstances to create customized emergency plans. We also offer unique features like supply expiration tracking, family communication tools and integration with official emergency alert systems.

Can I share my emergency plans with other people?

+

Yes! We built this so you would never have to face a crisis alone. You have the flexibility to create custom groups, whether that is a small circle for your household or a larger one for your local neighborhood watch. You can share inventories, set rally points and make sure everyone knows their job. It is about getting your "pack" on the same page before the pressure is on.

Is the app free?

+

Yes. All of our preparedness features are free for everyone. No subscription required. While we offer a tipping feature to reward creators (which includes a 15% service and processing fee), there is no cost to download the app, join groups or build your emergency plans.
