# Emergency Access

Brava is committed to ensuring users maintain complete control over their assets at all times. As part of our commitment to self-custody and user security, we provide a standalone Emergency Exit App that allows users to withdraw their funds independently of our main platform interface.

## Emergency Exit App

The Emergency Exit App is a lightweight, standalone application designed to provide a direct withdrawal path for your assets. This serves as a critical backup mechanism in the unlikely event that the main Brava interface becomes unavailable.

### Key Features

* **Independent Operation**: Functions completely independently of Brava's main interface
* **Self-Contained**: Runs locally on your computer without external dependencies
* **Direct Access**: Connects directly to your Safe wallet through your Web3 provider
* **Simple Interface**: Streamlined design focused solely on the withdrawal process

### When to Use

While we maintain robust infrastructure with high availability, the Emergency Exit App provides peace of mind in scenarios such as:

* Temporary platform maintenance
* Unexpected service interruptions
* Network connectivity issues
* Any situation where accessing the main interface isn't possible

### Getting Started

The Emergency Exit App is available for all major operating systems (Windows, macOS, and Linux). To maintain security, we recommend downloading the app before it's needed and storing it in a safe location on your computer.

You can download the latest version of the Emergency Exit App from our official GitHub repository at <https://github.com/brava-labs/brava-exit-app>. The repository includes detailed setup instructions for each operating system. The app requires only a web browser with a Web3 wallet (such as MetaMask) to function.

### Security Considerations

The Emergency Exit App is:

* Open source and independently verifiable
* Runs completely locally on your machine
* Requires no external servers beyond blockchain node access
* Interacts directly with your Safe wallet using the same secure mechanisms as our main platform

This emergency access mechanism is part of our broader commitment to non-custodial operations, ensuring you always maintain full control over your assets.
