Grid-patch

The power goes out. The fridge hums quietly, then stops. Somewhere in the dark, you reach for a torch that isn’t where you left it. Grid-patch turns that scramble into a routine. Five sections—Map, Water, Power, Neighbours and Logs—each contain a short protocol you can tick off before the lights ever flicker. Fill jugs. Mark the sealed containers. Take one bottle to each bathroom. The Water spine task tracks it, showing twelve gallons staged. Top up the battery banks. Pair cables with devices. Switch one phone to low-power mode. The Power island task keeps a live reserve percentage on the home map. Five houses on your street. Check who needs the lift, who has pets, and tape a paper roster by the mailboxes. The Neighbour relay section keeps that coordination visible. When the grid returns, the Logs tab shows what held: Water spine, Power island, Cold clock, Neighbour relay and Restore sweep, with a counter for helpers already built in. The home map shows a Power island node and charging bench, plus a banner confirming that your cached outage playbook is active even offline. Tap Pulse to check the status. No accounts, no subscriptions, no ads. Just a checklist for the hours before, during and after the power goes out—for households that would rather prepare once than scramble twice.
