Rydhera is a women-only community safety app where verified women watch over each other during rideshares — live, in real time. One dedicated watcher per ride. Built on anonymity, consent, and trust. Launching in North America first.
"Every woman I know feels vulnerable getting into the back of a stranger's vehicle. We hold our keys, share our location, text someone before we get in. Every time."
No crowds, no surveillance, no exposing your details. When you start a ride, you're paired with one verified woman who has committed to watching your trip from start to finish — and nothing about you is shared with her unless something goes wrong.
Three steps to a safer ride. Built on consent, community, and the kind of trust women have always extended to each other.
Every member verifies their identity with Government ID — riders and watchers both. Gender is confirmed at the ID step, no exceptions.
Tap "Start Safe Ride" when you get in. Your route, ETA, and driver info go live anonymously, and a verified watcher is automatically matched to your trip — only after she confirms she can watch the full duration.
She follows your ride live, chats with you if you want, and stays alert until you confirm you're home. Your identity stays private unless you trigger an SOS — then it's released so help can reach you fast.
Every feature exists because a real woman needed it. Designed around her safety, her privacy, and her control.
Your watcher sees your route and ETA — not your name, photo, or details. Your identity is only revealed if you trigger an SOS. Privacy is the baseline.
Auto-matched, not crowd-sourced. One verified woman commits to watching your entire ride before she's assigned.
Live location, route, and ETA are shared with your watcher. You can pause or stop sharing anytime, and close the chat whenever you want. You stay in control of every piece of information.
Start a private audio recording in-vehicle whenever you want. Stops when you say. Every recording is encrypted and backed up to the cloud — so even if your phone is lost, damaged, or taken, the file is safe and accessible to you.
Something feels wrong? One tap reveals your details to your watcher, and starts the encrypted audio recording. Help can arrive faster because the information is already there. Until that moment, you stay anonymous.
Government ID required for every member — riders and watchers both. Gender confirmed at the ID step. This is a women-only space, and that's protected by verification, not just policy.
Every account gets a personal share link. Send it to a friend, a sister, a coworker — anyone you want to be safer. Building this community starts with the women you already know.
Safety starts before the app opens. Every member goes through rigorous verification.
Every life-saving feature in Rydhera is free, forever. Premium is purely optional — small perks for women who want a little extra.
No pitch deck. No boardroom.
"My name is Dustyn. I don't come from a tech background or have experience with startups. This started in a drive-through, honestly. My girlfriend was telling me how unsafe ridesharing feels for women — how every woman she knows feels vulnerable getting into the back of a stranger's vehicle. How they hold their keys, share their location, text someone before they get in. Every time. The more she talked, the clearer it got: this isn't rare for them. It's just normal. The idea came to me then and there. We kept talking about it the whole way home, and for days after."
