How it works

Scenario: Walking home together

Many people feel unsafe walking home alone late at night, for example after a party or a cinema visit. Covey helps you find someone to walk with.

Step by step

  1. Create a request -- Open the app and choose "New request".
  2. Describe your route -- Enter where you are starting from and where you are heading.
  3. Choose who can see the request -- For added safety, you can limit visibility:
    • Similar to me -- Only people of the same sex and similar age (within 5 years).
    • Qualified companions -- The above plus people with a high safety score.
    • All members -- All verified users can see your request.

Example

Emma is 19 and needs to walk home from a party. She opens Covey, creates a request and writes: "Walking from Hornsgatan towards Slussen in 10 minutes. Anyone want to join?" She sets the visibility so that only women her age can see the message. Before long, she gets a response from Sara who is on the same street.

During the session

When someone accepts your request, an active session begins:

  • Real-time map -- Both parties can see each other's position on the map.
  • Estimated time of arrival -- Automatic calculation of approximate time until you meet.
  • Messaging -- Chat directly in the app with quick messages like "I'm on my way" and "I can see you".
  • Mutual completion -- Either party can mark the session as done. The other confirms.

Benefits

  • Verified identity -- Everyone has logged in with BankID. No anonymous users.
  • Privacy protection -- Your exact location is only shared with the person helping you, and is automatically deleted when the session ends.
