About Ripple - BETA
Ripple is a "panic button" that can send it's trigger message to any app that is a "panic responder". Such apps can do things like lock, disguise themselves, delete private data, send an emergency message, and more. It is meant for situations where there is time to react, but where users need to be sure it is not mistakenly set off.
This is a BETA version of this app! We are working now to add support to as many other apps as possible. ChatSecure, Orweb, Umbrella, and Zom already have support, these apps are coming soon: Courier, PanicButton, OpenKeychain, Orfox, SMSSecure, StoryMaker.
Here are two example scenarios:
* An organization gets regularly raided by the security forces, who search all of the computers and mobile devices on the premises. The organization usually has at least a minute or two of warning before a raid starts. They need a very reliable way to trigger wiping all of the data from the sensitive apps.
* An aid worker has lots of sensitive data about people on their device. They regularly sync that data up with a secure, central database. Occasionally, the aid worker has to leave the country on very short notice. The border guards regularly download the entire contents of mobile devices of people crossing through. While waiting in line at the border, the aid worker sees the border guards seizing people's devices, and then remembers all the data on the device, so she unlocks her phone and hits the wipe trigger, which wipes all sensitive apps from the device. When the aid worker returns to the central office, the device is again synced up with the central database.
This was started as part of the T2 Panic work, since sharing location is so often a part of panic apps. Follow our progress here:

I love the idea, but support in enough apps to be really useful has been provides for a long time and failed to materialise. What's up with that?

This app is a great idea and is a potential life saver for people working for NGOs in hostile countries etc. However, it's been in beta for as long as I can remember and hasn't shown any signs of life for that entire period. Hell, even if it was released with the ability to test with a couple of apps (and a disclaimer NOT to rely on it under any circumstances to protect sensitive data), I know there'd be plenty of people happy to test it and report any bugs etc. I know I would. Such a shame

Nice idea, surprised there hasn't been any updates in over a year. With the move by more people to privacy focused apps. Needs more integration with other apps to be useful.

Love this app, though I do believe a particular setting is needed. I like the wind down before any other app settings approve the panic signal, however I would like the option to remove or lower the timer as the tap and swipe seems to be confirmation enough, and possibly integrate a passphrase, be it a particular swipe or fingerprint scan etc etc.

The app roots from a great idea, but why only have a few apps? I wish you could add more apps. I have to do a button on my home screen and create a task to do the rest of the apps in cases of emergency. It would be convenient to have them all. I really don't know why you have a few more apps associated with the guardian but it would be very useful.

WHAT AN AMAZING APP!!!! why don't you allow every app on the device to be putt on here ... Firefox, whatsapp, tor, start page, brave, duckduck go, wickr, inbrowzer, email apps text apps, all encryption currency apps, this app has the potential to be amazing.. My phone already has the capability to push wipe the whole phone.. Since I have a blackphone 2 but it factory resets it.. Witch do not want to do... This allows the user to just delete apps uninstall or hide witch is perfect PLEASE PLEASE Fix this amazing app!!!!!!

Where to my comment disappeared?! ..... I have no button "edit", so I can't add my apps to list. There is just Orfox, was added by itself. Help.

It's been a while and no progress on Android 5. No apps added and no support featured. If it's only a damn blank app then it's nothing more than a time and space waste.

There is a lot of real world need for this app particularly for people crossing alot of borders such as frontline NGO teams. But I am surprised you have not yet added even the most simple application of wiping selected data (not resetting the whole phone).

I fortunately haven't had a real world need for this yet, if it works the way that it says it does, it could and someday will be an absolute necessity as well as a lifesaver.

When exactly is this going to start supporting more apps? Is it ever coming out of the beta stage? This would be EXTREMELY useful, if only it actually did something!

Needs a little work. Great concept. Always need a safety net and risk-possibility emergency override.
