Turning a confusing national power schedule into something anyone can check in seconds.
When nationwide load shedding ('dumsor') returned, the only way most people could check their outage schedule was a screenshot of a complicated table, passed from phone to phone on WhatsApp, Twitter/X, and Facebook — confusing to read and impossible to search.
The ECG Load Shedding Checker exists to fix that one problem: type in your area, and see exactly when your power is expected to go off and come back.
What shipped:
The app has grown to 54,000+ users — by far Augtech's most-used product — almost entirely through word of mouth, as people went looking for an easier way to read the schedule everyone else was struggling with.
Users save their area for instant lookups and can opt into alerts roughly an hour before their power is due to go off, so the planning happens ahead of time instead of in the dark.
ECG Load Shedding Checker is live right now — no install, no signup wall.
