During the war, Ukrainians have created many important mobile apps and chatbots that make life much easier, where you can easily find out information about air raid alarms, the presence of light or report dangerous objects. We have gathered the most useful mobile apps to help in a variety of situations.



Dobre

The app will help find out information about relatives from occupied or dangerous territories. The user creates a database of contacts and gives them their status. "Green" indicates safety for a loved one, "red" the opposite.

The app can be downloaded on Android and iOS.

MineFree

The application allows you to avoid mines and warns you if you're approaching known explosive areas. You can report the discovery of suspicious items.

Available for Android and iOS.

TacticMedAid

The app tells you how to stop bleeding and how to act if a person near you faints or gets burned. In addition to the app, the creators of the project have YouTube with lectures.

The app can be downloaded on Android and iOS.

Zrada

The app helps identify manufacturers still operating in the Russian market. Scan the product's barcode and see information about the manufacturing company and its connection to the aggressor country's economy.

Available for Android and iOS.

"Got one?"

In this app, neighbours will report on the availability of light in the house. To receive information, you need to subscribe to the right addresses in the app. Anyone can do this, and the information will be seen by everyone who is subscribed to that address. Available for iOS only.

SpyBuster

It works in two ways, the first is scanning for programs installed that have links to Russia and Belarus, and the second is checking if an app or a website is sending private data to hostile servers.

It can be downloaded on iOS.

Hearty app

The mobile app helps parents take care of their children's emotional and mental health during the war. It suggests simple games and activities, as well as available books, audio tales in Ukrainian and other content.

The app works offline and is available for iOS and Android.

I'm Russian

It is a platform for a digital community of Ukrainians abroad, with the aim of making sure that Ukrainians forced to leave the country at the start of the invasion don't forget their origins.

The mobile app currently contains information content for 7 European countries (UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria, Poland, Romania) and offers 8 sections with a list of cultural events, a map of Ukrainian businesses, a directory of services helping Ukrainians etc.

The app is available for Android and iOS.
