Frequently Asked Questions
I live alone in a London flat. Why do I need this?
In a city of 9 million, it's easy for no one to notice if something goes wrong. A daily check-in ensures someone is alerted within hours, not days.
My elderly parent lives alone in London.
They check in once daily with one tap, and the free check-in reminds them if they're late. On the Family plan, you get escalating alerts if they miss it. Works perfectly for seniors who want independence.
I'm a student at UCL living alone for the first time.
Set a parent as your contact. One daily tap gives them peace of mind without daily phone calls.
Is this free?
The daily check-in and reminders to you are free forever, with no hidden subscription. Family alerting on a missed check-in is part of the Family plan.
Does daylight saving affect notifications?
The app automatically adjusts for BST/GMT changes. No settings to update when clocks change.
