Frequently Asked Questions

I hike alone on the North Shore trails. Can this help?

Set a check-in for when you expect to return. If you miss it, your emergency contact is automatically alerted. It's your digital trail safety net.

My mom lives alone in a Vancouver apartment.

She checks in once a day with one tap. If she misses it, you get escalating alerts. Works perfectly for seniors in apartments and condos.

Does it work in areas with poor cell coverage like Whistler backcountry?

The app needs connectivity only at check-in time. Set your check-in for when you'll be back in range. If you miss it, alerts go out automatically.

Is this free?

Completely free — no subscription, no premium features locked behind a paywall. Daily check-ins and family alerts are free forever.

I live alone and Vancouver gets earthquakes. How does this help?

If an earthquake prevents you from checking in, your emergency contact is alerted automatically. They can then check on you, call neighbors, or contact 911. It's an extra layer of safety for seismically active areas.
