Frequently Asked Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. The core check-in is free forever — you get daily check-in reminders to you, can add one emergency contact, and can send them one test alert to preview the experience, all at no cost. Automatic alerts to your contacts on a missed check-in are part of the paid Protect Me, which also adds SMS alerts, up to 10 contacts, and a family dashboard.
Does it track me?
No. I'm Alive does not track your location, read your messages, or monitor your activity. We only know one thing: whether you tapped the check-in button today. That's it.
What if I miss a check-in?
You'll get a gentle reminder first, then a second reminder 30 minutes later. On Protect Me, if you still haven't checked in after 2 hours your emergency contacts are alerted by email and SMS. On Free, the reminders go to you so you can check in yourself.
Do I need an account?
No account is required. Download the app, add your contact, pick a check-in time, and you're set. It takes about 2 minutes.
Does my contact need the app too?
No. On Protect Me your emergency contacts receive alerts via email and SMS, and they don't need to install anything.
