Frequently Asked Questions
I'm a student at McGill living alone off-campus.
Set up a parent or friend as your emergency contact. One tap a day gives them peace of mind. No daily phone calls needed — just quiet confirmation you're safe.
My father lives alone in Laval after my mother passed.
He checks in once a day with one tap, and the free check-in reminds him if he's late. On Protect Me, if he misses it you receive escalating alerts. The app gives him independence while keeping you informed.
Montreal ice storms can knock out power for days.
On Protect Me, if a storm prevents check-in your contact is alerted — which is exactly when you'd want someone checking on you. The app works as long as the phone has battery and brief connectivity.
Is this available in French?
The app interface is in English, but it requires only one tap to check in — no reading needed. Notifications to your emergency contact are clear and simple.
Is this free?
Yes — the daily check-in and reminders to you are free forever, with no hidden subscription. Automatic family alerts on a missed check-in are part of Protect Me.
