About Xignal

Built for the awareness
Africa actually needs.

Community-powered awareness - built by people who needed the warning themselves, for the streets and journeys of everyday life across Africa.

Why we built this

Personal safety information moves too slowly - by word of mouth, a call to a friend, a warning that arrives after it's already too late to matter. Xignal exists to close that gap.

That gap closes with speed. The moment something happens nearby, Xignal gets it to you before word of mouth ever could - fast enough to still choose differently: reroute, get help, warn someone else.

It's live in Lagos today and growing city by city across Africa, built entirely on what the community reports: a flooded road, a roadblock, an unsafe area, anything worth knowing before you're already in it.

When you report something, you're not just helping yourself. You're telling everyone nearby what you already know.

How it works

Every alert you see started with someone like you.

01

Someone reports

Someone spots a threat or hazard - a flooded road, a roadblock, an unsafe area - and reports it in seconds, location captured automatically.

02

It gets verified

Community upvotes, the reporting account's trust score, and automated signals work together to score the report before anyone treats it as reliable.

03

Everyone nearby is alerted

Verified incidents push to everyone nearby within seconds - so you know before you're already in it, not after.

What we believe

Community over algorithm

The best source of truth about a road is the person who just drove it. Every feature is built to make it easier to share what you know.

You choose what stays private

Pick a username instead of your real name - free for everyone. Premium goes further with fully anonymous reporting. Either way, your location data is never sold or shared with advertisers. Ever.

Free means free

The core app - map, alerts, routing, SOS - is free and will stay free. We don't lock safety features behind a paywall.

Built for here

Every decision - coverage priorities, incident types, routing logic - is made with African roads and African commuters in mind, not imported from somewhere else.

Every city needs a few people to go first.
