About this app

FriendAlert: Keep Your Friendships Thriving, No Matter How Far Apart Life's adventures lead us to friendships that cross cities, countries, and even continents. While these connections add immeasurable value to our lives, keeping them vibrant across distances can be a challenge. Born from this universal struggle, FriendAlert is your go-to solution for keeping those important friendships alive and well.

Functions The application offers a simple reminder to remember to contact your friends: you can set how often you want to keep in touch and every time you call a friend you can record that inside the app. If you do not call one of your friends for a time longer than the limit you set, you'll be sent a notification.

🌍 Your Central Hub for Global Friendships Whether your friendships were formed on the playground or during an international journey, FriendAlert functions as your unified platform for sustaining these invaluable bonds. With FriendAlert, neither miles nor time zones can weaken your connections.

🗣️ Foster Authentic Connections: More than Just Check-ins Social media may offer cursory updates about people's lives, but it's no substitute for genuine conversation. FriendAlert encourages you to engage in meaningful dialogues that go beyond the superficial.

A Personal Perspective I created FriendAlert with the aim of maintaining contact with the people who matter most to me. While the app's utility can vary, here are some personal guidelines I follow:

• Use FriendAlert to track those you find you're losing touch with, not the friends you see regularly.

• Although in-person meetings are irreplaceable, phone or video calls serve as excellent alternatives when that's not feasible.

• Texting, though convenient, falls short in conveying emotional nuance and should not be your primary mode of communication.

• Engaging via social media—such as liking photos or commenting—simply doesn’t cut it when it comes to nurturing real friendships.

Elevate Your Social Ecosystem FriendAlert emerged from a personal need for an accessible, budget-friendly way to sustain my social circle. While platforms like nouri.ai have their merits, FriendAlert offers a free and user-friendly alternative.

Sharing good moments is nice. Let's enrich not just our conversations, but our lives and communities through stronger, more meaningful connections.

How to install this safely

How to verify the file you downloaded

Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.

What the signing certificate proves

Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be xyz.crucitti.friendalert is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.

How to roll back to an earlier version

If the current release misbehaves, 1.1.0 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall Friend Alert first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.

Why we list sources instead of hosting everything

The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of Friend Alert, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
