Guidance. Clarity. Support.
Balai helps people understand and stay on track with geographic and curfew conditions. It turns written conditions into clear, practical guidance — with gentle reminders to reduce confusion and accidental breaches.
How it works
Simple steps. No jargon. The goal is to reduce confusion and help people stay on track.
Add your conditions
Enter boundaries, exclusion zones, and curfews from your paperwork, or do it with a case worker for extra confidence.
See it on a map
Visualise zones clearly so it’s easier to plan travel, appointments, and daily routines without guessing.
Get gentle reminders
Receive warnings before you cross a boundary or approach a curfew period — with settings you can control.
Features
Everything is designed to be practical, calming, and easy to understand — especially under stress.
Boundary warnings
Optional alerts when you’re nearing an exclusion zone or restricted boundary, so you can turn around early.
Plain-English rules
Your conditions explained in simple language, with examples of what “counts” and what to do if you’re unsure.
Curfew planning
Clear curfew windows, reminders before the cutoff, and quick checks so you’re not doing mental maths.
Control your alerts
Choose what you want: subtle reminders, stronger warnings, or quiet mode when you need a break.
Setup checklist
A short onboarding checklist so people know what to enter and what to double-check before relying on it.
Support services
Links to local support and re-entry services (housing, AOD, legal aid) — built for quick access when it matters.
Privacy & safety
Balai is designed to support people — not monitor them. It’s built to reduce stress and accidental breaches.
Support app, not surveillance
Balai is not a government system and does not replace any official monitoring or reporting requirements. It exists to help people understand their conditions and avoid mistakes.
Trauma-aware by design
The experience aims to be calm and non-judgemental. People can choose how reminders appear, and can turn things off when needed.
Data minimisation
The goal is to collect as little personal information as possible. What’s stored and why will be explained clearly in the privacy policy.
Clear limitations
Conditions can change. Maps can be wrong. If anything in the app conflicts with your paperwork or a direction from your supervising officer, follow the official instruction.

FAQ
Quick answers to the most common questions people ask when they first hear about Balai.
Is Balai a government app?
No. Balai is an independent support tool. It does not replace official instructions, reporting requirements, or any government monitoring system.
Will Balai share my location with anyone?
Balai is designed to minimise data collection and be transparent about what is stored. Location features are used to provide on-device guidance and alerts. More detail will be published in the privacy policy.
What if the app says one thing, but my paperwork says another?
Always follow your official paperwork and directions from your supervising officer or court conditions. The app is a guide and can be wrong if information is entered incorrectly or conditions change.
Can a case worker help someone set it up?
Yes. The app is intended to work whether someone enters their conditions themselves or is supported by a worker during setup.
When will it launch?
Balai is in early development. The fastest way to stay updated is to join the waitlist.
