Coming soon to iPhone
Ready for when you need it most.
Most households already own a week of food, a case of water and a drawer of batteries. What they don't have is a list. Lantern keeps it: what you have, where it is, when it expires, and how many days your people are covered for. The emergency toolkit is free for everyone, always.
No account. No cloud. Everything stays on your phone.
Hurricanes, ice storms, wildfire smoke, a week without power. The last ten years have put most American households through at least one. Lantern is for the ordinary version of being ready: a full pantry, water that gets rotated, medicine that hasn't expired, and a plan everyone in the house knows.
Scan a barcode or a printed date and it's logged. Lantern knows the shelf life of 90-plus staples, so a can without a date still gets one.
One quiet weekly note about what to eat, rotate or replace. Nothing nags. The point is to stop throwing good food away.
Add who lives here, their ages and medications. Lantern turns the pantry into calories per person and the medicine cabinet into days of supply.
Dose, times, take with food, don't drive. One card for the whole house to hand to a neighbour, a nurse or a shelter desk. Share as text or print it.
When the power goes, start the clocks: how long the fridge and freezer are safe, where the generator can run, how to stretch the phone battery.
SOS strobe and flashlight, alarm whistle, emergency numbers, a household meeting plan, know-how cards from CDC and FEMA, compass, weather radio frequencies. No purchase, no sign-up, works with no signal.
Lantern is free for one person and fifty items, with the entire Toolkit included. Duo covers the two of you. Family covers the whole house. Nothing in the Toolkit is ever behind the paywall, and the paywall never appears during an outage.
Prices in US dollars. Subscriptions are billed through the App Store and renew yearly unless cancelled. A Group plan for neighbourhoods, churches and teams follows later.
Lantern has no account and no server. Everything you enter stays on your iPhone. The only thing it ever sends anywhere is a barcode's digits to a public food database, and you can turn that off. There are no ads and no analytics. Read the privacy policy; it is short.
Lantern is in the last stretch before the App Store. Send a note and you'll get one email when it's out, and nothing else. team@kismetstudio.io
