Works without internet
In an emergency the network may be down. The guidance, your lists and what to do are all on your phone, and there is no Pronto server that can fail or be attacked.
Why Pronto works this way
A few choices shape Pronto. Here they are, and why we made them.
No account, no ads, no tracking
There is nothing to sign up for. What you enter stays with you; we never see it.
About your household, not about people
Pronto counts adults, children, babies and pets, and never asks for names or birth dates. Personal needs are answered for the whole household.
Official guidance, with its source
The lists follow your government's own guidance, and every official item names its document and page. Where the guidance gives no amount, Pronto doesn't make one up, and its own suggestions are marked as such.
Only the Netherlands and Italy, for now
Pronto only uses official guidance, so a country is added once its guidance is in. More countries are on the way.
Expired means replace
Expired stock never counts as ready: the item says “Expired — replace” and goes back on your shopping list.
Your plan stays on this phone
“Our plan” holds other people's names and numbers, so Pronto never syncs it to your other devices.
Your address book stays closed
You pick a contact in your phone's own contact picker, so Pronto never has access to your address book. It keeps only the name and number you choose.
Your household can follow you
On iPhone, with Sync with iCloud, your household and what you have follow you to your other Apple devices, through your own iCloud; you can turn it off in Settings. Personal needs and the items they add stay on this iPhone. On Android, your phone's own backup can bring Pronto's data to a new phone.
Calm, not alarming
Reminders come at 9:00 in the morning, never at night. Expiry shows in calm amber, never in red.
It feels like your phone
Pronto uses your phone's own controls and text sizes, so there is nothing new to learn under stress.
Help to prepare, not an emergency service
Pronto helps you get ready beforehand. In an emergency, call 112.
