Emergency
Big-button emergency app for elderly / fragile users
Kotlin 
Jetpack Compose 
Material 3 
Android Glance 
Emergency is designed for elderly or sick users who need to ask for help quickly. A single big button inside the app — or even better a 2x2 widget on the phone home screen — triggers an emergency sequence: GPS location, SMS with coordinates to emergency contacts, automatic phone call to the first contact, email with the same info, TTS message on the speaker (for nearby people), persistent notification so the state isn't lost. All contacts, TTS message and recipients are configurable. Permissions: SEND_SMS, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, CALL_PHONE, plus widget flags. Built to be installed by a relative and then left invisible: no menus, no ads, no complicated UI.
