Aegis by Hugz

Your family's safety guardian, even offline

Aegis by Hugz launched on June 30, 2026 with 3 votes, #6,658 of 22,647 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches.

What it does

Aegis by Hugz is a family and personal safety app built to work even on weak networks. Add the people you love as guardians, watch over each other on a live map, and get alerted the moment someone triggers SOS. One tap sends help via WhatsApp, SMS, and push, with live location — plus Follow Me, fake call, shake-to-alert, and voice-triggered SOS. Most safety apps need a perfect signal; Aegis doesn't. Offline SMS keeps your people alerted when data drops. Android now · iOS coming soon.

    A couple of months ago, I built this app to help identify people stuck under rubble. First responders have awesome tools. But in tough situations, even common folks need to help. After what happened in Myanmar, we need something like this that works properly. It has only been tested in controlled environments. It can also be improved; I know BLE is not _that_ effective under rubble. If you have any feedback or can contribute, don't hold back.

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  • Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
