In testing · Public Google Play release coming later
Android 10+ with compatible hardware. Delivery requires Premium, setup, permissions and a working connection.
Android illustration · scene inserted into the app screen. Camera views vary by device.
Even if your phone is taken, your video can already be on its way.
Completed clips are sent while you keep recording. Copies already delivered remain in your cloud account or with your recipients, even if you lose the phone.
Background: illustrative scenario. Camera coverage depends on your device.
Ready on your Home Screen
When you feel unsafe, one tap starts Record & Send.
Keep SEND on your Home Screen, ready before you need it. A tap opens EvidenSend and starts recording and sending to the people and accounts you have chosen.
Before your first use: open EvidenSend, allow camera and microphone access, and set up and test delivery. Sending requires Premium and a working connection.
01 / OPEN WIDGETS
Hold an empty space
On your Home Screen, touch and hold an empty area, then choose Widgets.
02 / FIND EVIDENSEND
Choose Eviden SEND
Search for EvidenSend. Select the widget with small Eviden above large SEND, then tap Add, or touch and hold it to drag it onto your Home Screen.
03 / KEEP IT WITHIN REACH
Choose a clear spot
Place the widget where you can find it quickly. Adding it does not start recording. Tapping SEND afterwards does.
Phone illustrations showing the Android steps. Menus and placement vary by phone and Home Screen app. This widget is for the Home Screen.
Want a map link too? Turn on Include a location link in email or recipient settings, allow location access, and check that EvidenSend says Recent location ready before your test. Starting from the widget without a recent position still records and sends, but that session may have no map link.
When you press SEND
EvidenSend opens and begins recording once the required permissions are granted. Unlock the phone if asked. Completed clips are sent using your configured delivery settings; Android shows a recording notification. Open EvidenSend and tap Stop to end recording.
One action to start. Your choices take it from there.
Set up delivery in advance. When you choose Record & Send, EvidenSend records short video clips and starts configured delivery as those clips finish.
01 / START
Press Record & Send
Use the app or the SEND Home Screen widget to begin a new recording and delivery session.
02 / RECORD
Capture what is happening
You start recording. Clips save on your phone, and Android shows a recording notification while recording is active.
03 / SEND
Send to your chosen people
Send video links or email attachments to your trusted recipients. Check the session’s delivery status in Recordings.
Android landscape illustration · wide camera views side by side. Camera views vary by device.
Everyday safety. Travel. High-risk situations.
Record your perspective. Send it beyond the moment.
Capture what is happening around you. On supported phones, the front camera records you while the rear camera records your surroundings. You decide when to start and who receives the video.
Delivery takes a working connection and completed clips. EvidenSend cannot guarantee that footage has left the phone before it is lost or taken, and it is not an emergency dispatch service.
Your accounts. Your recipients.
Choose where your evidence goes.
Gmail sends the email. Google Drive or Dropbox can hold the video. You can use them together, or send video attachments without cloud storage.
CLOUD + EMAIL
A viewing link in their inbox.
Upload clips to Google Drive or Dropbox, then send a link through Gmail or another configured email account.
Phone→Drive / Dropbox→Email link
Useful for larger videos. A shared folder can contain clips added later.
EMAIL ATTACHMENTS
The video file in their inbox.
Select Email attachments only in guided setup. This switches off Drive and Dropbox uploads for that choice.
Phone→Email attachment
Large files may exceed your email provider’s limits. Cloud links are often more practical.
Send to yourself or trusted people
Add recipient addresses and tap Add and save email. Use a separate My email address for “Only to me”. Each new session keeps the recipient selection made when it starts.
Include a location link
Turn on Include a location link in email or recipient settings and allow location access. This option is off by default. When a recent location is ready as recording starts, its messages can include a map link. The recording screen tells you whether the location was included.
SMS during Android testing
SMS link delivery depends on phone permissions and Google Play approval requirements. Public availability is not yet confirmed. Mobile service and carrier charges may apply.
Anyone with an accessible sharing link may be able to open or forward it. Deleting a local clip does not remove its uploaded copy. Read how your data is handled.
Actual Android setup · your selection is highlighted.
Guided setup
Use your Google account. Leave server settings behind.
For Gmail and Drive, choose your Google account and review Google’s permission request. You do not need to find SMTP server names or create an email app password. Google may still ask you to sign in or verify your identity.
Choose where videos go
Open Set up delivery step by step. Choose Drive, Dropbox or email attachments only. Delivery setup requires Premium.
Add your recipients
Enter each email address, then tap Add and save email or the keyboard’s Done action. Check that the address appears in the saved list.
Connect your sending account
Choose Gmail and approve sending permission. Drive has its own connection step. Other email providers use the advanced account settings.
Test before relying on delivery
Use an address you control for the setup test. Open its file or link, then make a short Record & Send test and check the video and any map link.
Gmail during internal testing
Google has not yet verified EvidenSend’s Gmail sending access. During internal testing, Google may show an unverified-app warning. The app includes a setup guide for invited testers. Joining the Play test does not remove Google’s warning. Test delivery with your own address and contact support if connection fails or access is blocked.
Know your recording modes
Made for the cameras your Android phone provides.
Automatic camera selection
New installations default to Automatic. It tries front and rear together when supported, preferring the widest available rear view. Otherwise it falls back to an available rear camera.
Existing camera choices are kept. Ultra-wide and simultaneous recording depend on what the device exposes to the app.
You start. You stop.
Recording starts with your action in the app or widget. Android shows a recording notification while it is active. Return to EvidenSend and tap Stop to end recording.
Battery restrictions, storage, temperature and device behavior can interrupt a recording. Test on your own phone.
CURRENT ANDROID BEHAVIOR
What Loop Recording does
Loop records short clips and removes older local loop clips as its buffer fills. Recent clips remain in Recordings after you stop. If cloud delivery is enabled, loop clips can also be uploaded.
There is currently no “save the previous moments” action. To begin a new Record & Send session, stop Loop first.
Local recording & Premium
Start with local recording. Delivery features require Premium, offered as a one-time in-app purchase.
The Android version is in testing. Availability and pricing will be shown in Google Play when publicly released.
Invited to test?
Your first successful recording starts here.
Android is currently in internal testing. Ask Pellabs for an invitation using the Google account you use in Play. There is no public download yet.
Open the test link with the invited Google account and install or update the ordinary EvidenSend app through Play.
Allow the features you use
Grant camera and microphone permissions and allow recording notifications. If you want map links, turn on Include a location link, allow location access, and check for Recent location ready before your test.
Set up and test with your own address
Review delivery choices and Premium access, then record a harmless short clip. Confirm the recipient gets the message and can open the video.
Check your phone’s behavior
Test a short recording with the screen locked. Report your phone model, Android version, app version and the exact error if something fails.
No. Gmail sends messages; Drive stores video files. Use them together to email viewing links, or choose Email attachments only to send files without Drive or Dropbox. Selecting cloud storage does not necessarily disable an existing attachment setting, so review the email options too.
Can EvidenSend read my Gmail inbox?
The app requests permission to send email and identify your email address. It does not request inbox reading, mail searching or message deletion. Drive access is limited to the specific files used with this app. Google connections need compatible Google Play services.
Will it use both cameras on every phone?
No. Concurrent front and rear recording and ultra-wide access depend on your phone. Automatic tries supported combinations and can fall back to a rear camera. Check the actual recording on your device.
Can a recording continue if I leave the app?
A recording you start can continue through Android’s foreground recording service, including when the screen is locked. Android shows a recording notification; this is not a hidden recording mode. Permissions, battery restrictions and device behavior can affect it, so test your own phone. Open EvidenSend and tap Stop to finish.
What if the connection fails?
Pending delivery information survives app restarts, and retryable failures can be tried again. Some failures need you to reconnect an account or review the session’s delivery status. An uncertain result does not mean nothing was sent; reviewing or repeating it may result in another message.
Does stopping recording cancel pending messages?
No. Pending delivery can continue after recording stops. Messages already accepted by an email provider cannot be recalled. An accepted submission also does not by itself confirm inbox receipt.
Does Loop save the moments before I press Send Now?
The current Android version does not provide that action. Loop keeps recent local clips, can upload them when cloud delivery is enabled, and leaves recent clips in Recordings when stopped. Stop Loop before starting a new Record & Send session.
Is a map link always included?
No. Location sharing must be on, location permission must be granted, and a recent position must be available when recording starts. Recording starts immediately even if no location is ready. That session then has no map link; a later position is not added to its messages. The map may be approximate. Check it during your own test.
Is Android the same as the iPhone version?
The purpose is shared, but camera modes, widgets, cloud services and background behavior differ. The setup image shows the Android app. The widget instructions use phone illustrations. The scene phone illustrations use scene stills adapted from the iPhone page; they are not recordings of those events made with Android. Explore the iPhone version.
EvidenSend for Android
