How it works
Three steps. Under a minute. Every day.
Set your schedule
Choose when you want to check in — daily, every other day, or on your own schedule. Set a time window that fits your routine.
Check in each day
A quick press-and-hold is all it takes. One interaction, under 3 seconds. Done — you're checked in.
Miss one? We've got you.
If your check-in window passes, your emergency contacts get an SMS letting them know to check on you. No extra steps.
