Frequently Asked Questions

I moved to Ottawa alone for a government job.

When your family is in another province, a daily check-in replaces the 'are you okay?' calls. One tap confirms you're fine — they only hear from the app if something's wrong.

My elderly parent lives alone in Ottawa.

They check in once a day. If they miss it, you get escalating alerts. Works perfectly for seniors who want independence but need a safety net.

Ottawa gets brutal winters. How does this help?

Winter storms, ice, and extreme cold increase risk for anyone living alone. If conditions prevent your check-in, your family is alerted automatically — exactly when they should be worried.
