EBAN

We are the fence around each other.

A safety alert built by and for the Black community — so that if something happens, your location, your voice, and your story are never lost, no matter what happens to your phone.

No spam. We'll reach out the moment Eban is ready.

EBAN

Twi (Akan) — "fence"

An Adinkra symbol from Akan tradition, representing safety, security, and love. The mark itself — a woven fence — isn't a wall shutting people out. It's people standing around each other.

How It Started

One quiet moment, and then it hit me.

"I remember sitting at home, feeling depressed — not because I was sad, or because something adverse was occurring in my own life, but because of the injustice and immoral things happening in this country and around the world. I wanted to do something about it, but didn't know what that something was. So I prayed. I pondered. I prayed again. And then it hit me."

Why Eban Exists

The moments in between shouldn't disappear.

Too often, the space between a stop and what happens next goes unrecorded, untracked, and unheard — until it's too late to matter. Eban exists to close that gap: an independent record of where you were, what was happening, and how it unfolded, kept safe even if a phone is taken, silenced, or destroyed.

Built by our own community, for our own community — not routed through anyone else's hands.

How It Works

One press. The entire process begins.

No decisions to make in the moment. No steps to remember. One activation — however it's triggered — sets everything below into motion, automatically, at once.

Activation

A press, a spoken phrase, or a wearable trigger — recording begins locally and your location is captured instantly.

Location goes out first

A small, fast signal reaches your trusted circle within seconds — often before a single word of audio has uploaded.

Your voice follows

Audio uploads continuously in small pieces, so what's already been shared stays safe — even if the phone doesn't.

While it's active

A calm, clear confirmation — recording, location, and your trusted circle, all shown plainly. Nothing alarming, no bottom navigation. The only way out is a deliberate, PIN-protected step, so it can't be ended by anyone but you.

Afterward, it disappears

Seconds later, if the phone is picked up by anyone else, it shows a completely ordinary lock screen. Eban keeps running underneath — it simply stops advertising itself. Protection that works even in the moment it matters least to be seen.

Features

Built for the worst moment, not just the easy one.

🎙️

Multiple Ways to Activate

A press, a trained voice phrase, a wearable, motion-sensor detection, or a check-in timer — all lead to the exact same response.

📍

A Full Location Trail

Not one ping — continuous tracking, so if you're moved from one place to another, that path is remembered.

🔐

End-to-End Encrypted

Eban stores your data but can't read it. Only you and your trusted circle hold the key.

🕵️

Camouflage & Discretion

The screen returns to normal seconds after activation. Protection that doesn't announce itself.

👥

Trusted Circle Alerts

Chosen contacts get your live location and a link to what's happening, instantly.

🎯

Practice Mode

Rehearse the full activation flow with nothing actually sent — so it's never the first time it's tried for real.

Who Eban Can Help

This starts with a specific community. The need reaches further.

🚔

Police Encounters

The original reason Eban exists — closing the gap between a stop and what happens next.

⛓️

Trafficking Survivors

Discreet, camouflaged activation matters most when a phone itself is being watched.

🛂

ICE Encounters

Anyone taken during a government encounter, with the same fear of not being heard from.

🎓

College Students

Walking home alone at night, wanting one more layer of real protection.

🏠

Families

Real peace of mind about the people you love most, without constant surveillance.

Possible Situations

What this could look like, in a real moment.

Traffic Stop

A routine stop starts to feel wrong. One press, without looking down — recording begins, location starts tracking, and a trusted circle already knows exactly where to look.

Walking Alone

A student walking back to campus late at night senses someone following. A quiet code word, spoken low, activates everything — no need to even touch the phone.

A Missed Check-In

A family member sets a check-in timer before heading out. It isn't cancelled in time. The alert fires on its own — because sometimes the absence of a message is the message.

Built on Trust

Your information belongs to us. Not to them.

This isn't routed through an outside company or agency. It's built independently, rooted in the community it protects.

You decide who holds it

Data is controlled by a community-rooted entity — never handed to a third party without your say.

Only what's needed

Minimal retention. What protects you stays. Nothing more is kept than that.

Never shared quietly

No data goes to law enforcement, advertisers, or anyone else without your explicit, informed consent.

Nothing hidden

Full transparency about exactly where your information lives and who can reach it.
