Check on me
A gentle way to feel looked after
An optional feature. The app quietly checks in with you at the intervals you choose. If you miss two check-ins in a row (about 12 hours apart), a soft email reaches the trusted person you picked. Their details are kept securely with your account and used only for this. A caring touch — not an emergency or monitoring service.
- Optional
- You're in control
- Not an emergency service
