Frequently Asked Questions
I live alone in a Toronto condo. Why do I need this?
Condo living means your neighbors may not notice if something goes wrong for days. A daily check-in ensures someone is alerted within hours, not days.
My elderly parent lives alone in Scarborough. Can I monitor them?
Yes — they check in once a day 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 and can see their check-in history on the caregiver dashboard.
Does this work during Toronto ice storms and power outages?
The app only needs a brief moment of cell or Wi-Fi connectivity. As long as their phone has battery, they can check in. If a power outage prevents check-in, you'll be alerted — which is exactly when you'd want to know.
I'm a student at U of T living alone for the first time.
Perfect use case. Set up your parent as your emergency contact. One tap a day gives them peace of mind without daily phone calls. It's the mature safety decision.
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 ($29.99/yr).
