Spacetalk

Spacetalk is an ASX-listed Australian company with over 20 years of experience helping families stay confidently connected. Their ecosystem of devices, mobile plans, and the Spacetalk App empowers parents, children, and older adults with safety-first features built for real life. When Spacetalk set out to modernise their app experience and introduce a major new feature called Spaces, they partnered with Moonward to deliver the complete frontend transformation of the product.

Moonward rebuilt the app’s frontend entirely on Expo, creating a future-proof architecture. We designed a Singleton WebSocket system for real-time location updates, chat, and device events, with auto-reconnection, battery-saving background handling, and reliable performance. Features like the Dial Circle, interactive maps, SOS alerts, member and watch management, and local storage strategies were implemented to provide seamless, native experiences for families.

Today, families can see, track, and communicate with their loved ones in real-time, navigate routes safely, and access SOS alerts instantly — all from one intuitive app. The rebuilt app is more stable, more intuitive, and better equipped to support the company’s expanding global audience. We’re proud to have collaborated with one of Australia’s most trusted safety-first organisations — and even prouder of the frontend experience our team built. The project reaffirmed Moonward’s ability to deliver at ASX-listed scale, working seamlessly with large internal teams on complex, multi-system products.
