Get around Rio de Janeiro without worrying about ending up in high-risk areas.
Don't wander into dangerous areas by mistake. Our app warns you ahead of time, with visual and sound alerts, so you can choose another route. By car, motorcycle, bike or on foot. Works alongside other GPS apps.
No sign-upReady in 1 minuteWarns you before you get there
You get warned at three moments of your trip.
Before you leave
When it calculates your route, the app lets you know if the trip goes through a high-risk area and suggests an alternative route.
As you get close
When you are less than 100 m from a high-risk area, the app warns you ahead of time, while you can still change your route.
The moment you enter
As soon as you enter the area, an alert appears on screen and a sound plays, with tips on what to do: turn on your hazard lights, switch on the interior light and roll down the windows.

People getting around Rio with more peace of mind.
Really good! Only people who live in Rio de Janeiro know how hard it is to get around. I found out about it on a video app. Great job.
An app with huge potential. It brings together what other GPS apps already do, like showing traffic, plus mapping of high-risk areas.
I use it to commute to and from work. I like that the area alerts are both audio and visual, so you notice them right away.
Questions before you download?
Is the app free?
Yes. Downloading the app and using the high-risk area alerts costs nothing. Optional plans (weekly, monthly and monthly with AI) unlock extra features, such as the MaIA assistant. If you subscribe, you can cancel anytime in the App Store or Google Play.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Alerts work without signing in. You only need an account to subscribe to a plan or chat with MaIA.
Where does the high-risk area data come from?
Part of it comes from public safety data and news reports, from sources such as Instituto Fogo Cruzado and @OperacoesRio, a profile that posts police operations and road closures. The rest comes from people who use the app, and their reports are moderated before they show up on the map.
Does it replace Waze or Google Maps?
Your call. You can use Vem Tranquilo as your GPS for the trip, with voice navigation and alerts on the map, or keep it running in the background so it warns you about high-risk areas while you use Waze or Google Maps.
Where does the app work?
Anywhere in the state of Rio de Janeiro, not just the city. It does not cover other Brazilian states yet.
What do you do with my location?
We use it to calculate your route and warn you when there is a high-risk area along the way. We follow LGPD, Brazil's data protection law, and you can ask us to delete your account and data whenever you want. Our Privacy Policy (in Portuguese) has the details.
