Ampere is an environmental-risk instrument for South African homes. It gives your suburb one number, 0 to 100, and shows exactly where that number comes from. Calibrate once to your suburb and grid, and Ampere scores air quality, grid stability, water and geo exposure. No alarms, no colour-coded panic: a measured reading with its source, its confidence and the date it was checked. WHAT IT DOES · Risk: a composite score with air, grid, water and geo cards. Each card shows its source, confidence and last-checked date. Source Trace shows the full provenance. · Compare: put your suburb next to another and see the difference component by component. · Listening: log grid interruptions and see cuts, downtime and clean days build into a pattern. An optional microphone mode (beta) listens for appliance sounds on your phone; audio is processed on-device and discarded. · Power: track prepaid electricity. Log tokens, register your appliances, see estimated units remaining, a runout projection and a low-balance alert. Includes a sun and solar card with sunrise, sunset, UV and solar yield. · Pantry: a 72-hour readiness tracker across water, power, food, medical and connectivity, with expiry dates. · Habits: resilience habits that lower your own exposure. They never change the suburb's score. · Widgets show your load-shedding stage. A short guided tour on first run is always available from Settings. HONEST ABOUT DATA Ampere is built around sources you can see. When a live source is unavailable it says so, and falls back to a documented public-data catalog that is clearly marked as an estimate. What leaves your phone, and when: · Load-shedding and air quality: your area and your suburb's coordinates are sent to Ampere's small service and to public data providers (EskomSePush, WAQI) so the numbers can be live. · Sun and solar: your suburb's coordinates are sent to Open-Meteo. · AI coach (optional, off until you add your own Anthropic key): a short summary of your power readings is sent to Anthropic under your own key, which stays in your iPhone's Keychain. · iCloud sync is optional and off by default; when on, your data sits in your private iCloud. · Your location, if you allow it, is used once to find the nearest suburb. There is no Quantyx account, no analytics and no advertising. Full details: quantyx.co.za/ampere/privacy Built in South Africa for South African suburbs and grids. Ampere by Quantyx.
