Limestone, a Nigerian technology solutions provider, has launched StoneCircle, a mobile application designed to enhance personal and community security while simplifying estate management across the country.
The unveiling, which took place in Lagos on Tuesday, marks the company’s entry into the consumer market with a product it describes as a “game-changer” for safety and community living.
Speaking at the launch, Limestone’s Chief Executive Officer, Ifeanyi Aneke, said the app was developed in response to Nigeria’s growing demand for reliable and accessible safety solutions.
“StoneCircle comes at a critical time when the need for accessible, reliable safety solutions in Nigeria has never been greater,” Aneke said. “We’re proud to deliver a product that not only connects people to the help they need in real time but also redefines how individuals and communities protect lives and properties.”
According to Aneke, StoneCircle allows users to create personal safety groups, known as Circles, for instant communication during emergencies; send real-time, location-based panic alerts to trusted contacts; capture and share video incident reports with time-stamped updates; stay connected through built-in chats for coordination; and manage estate services such as paying dues, generating access codes, purchasing electricity, and lodging complaints.
According to Limestone, pilot tests in select estates recorded over N27m in digital transactions, a 95 per cent success rate, and an average panic-to-acknowledge response time of just three seconds.
“Limestone is committed to transforming how people experience safety, communication, and daily living within their communities,” Aneke added.
He added, “With StoneCircle and our broader suite of products, we’re delivering practical, locally relevant technology that simplifies daily routines and strengthens trust within neighbourhoods.”
