PrepperApp started iPhone-only. Now it runs everywhere: a full Android app and a web dashboard at prepperapp.net, synced across your household. New: an Outdoor section that records hikes with routes, photos and water sources on offline maps, plus family "I'm safe" check-ins with a shared emergency plan and meeting points. Still at the core: one honest number of how many days your water and food last. Free to start, Pro is a one-time purchase.

Could you build this?

Partial The core app (habit tracking, household sync, check-ins, and a web dashboard) is standard CRUD and sync that vibe coding can handle. Offline maps with routes and water source data require a map data pipeline and curated datasets that a solo builder would have to source.

What it would actually take: Offline maps need a tile and routing pipeline (for example, OpenStreetMap extracts with a library such as MapLibre plus a vector tile format) and a verified water source dataset that has to be sourced or curated. The sync layer needs a backend with offline-first conflict resolution, and the emergency and preparedness content should be reviewed by a domain expert.
