Frequently Asked Questions

Winnipeg hits -40°C in winter. How is this useful?

If extreme cold causes a medical emergency or prevents you from reaching your phone, your family is alerted automatically. When it's -40 outside, every hour matters.

My mom lives alone in Wolseley.

She checks in once daily with one tap. If she misses it, you receive escalating alerts. It gives her independence while keeping you informed.

My family is all in Ontario. I moved here alone.

A daily check-in replaces the guilt of not calling daily. Your family gets confirmation you're okay — no coordination needed across time zones.

Is this free?

Completely free — no subscription, no premium tier. Daily check-ins and family alerts cost nothing.

Does this work outside Winnipeg in rural Manitoba?

Yes — the app needs only a brief moment of connectivity once per day. If you have any cell service at all during the day, you can check in.
