I'm Alive
See plans

Living on your own? Make sure someone would know.

Tap once a day to say you're okay. If you miss it, the people you choose are told, so someone always knows to check on you.

Set up in a few minutes: choose your plan, create your account, then install the app to start checking in.

Choose your planHow it works

I'm Alive alerts the people you choose. It is not an emergency service or a medical device, and it does not call 911.

Made for people who live on their own

  • One tap a day. On iPhone you can check in from a home-screen widget, or by saying "Hey Siri, I'm OK".
  • You choose who hears: family, a friend, a neighbor. They don't need the app.
  • Going away? Pause it, and turn it back on when you're home.

You choose who. Your contacts don't need the app.

What I'm Alive is — and isn't

What it is

  • A simple daily check-in you do with one tap.
  • Alerts to the people you choose — by email and app notification, and by text on Premium and Premium Plus.
  • A way to test your safety net: send a clearly marked test alert and see that it was delivered.
  • Pause, for when you're away.

What it isn't

I'm Alive alerts the people you choose. It is not an emergency service or a medical device, and it does not call 911.

If you need urgent help, call your local emergency number.

Questions

Do my contacts need the app?

No. Alerts reach them by email, and by text message on Premium and Premium Plus.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Yearly plans renew each year until you cancel. You can cancel any time, and it keeps working until the end of the year you paid for. Lifetime is a single payment, so there's nothing to cancel.

There's also a free version in the app, with 1 contact and one alert a month.

Which phones does it work on?

iPhone and Android. On iPhone you can also check in from a home-screen widget, or by saying "Hey Siri, I'm OK".

What if I'm going away?

Turn on pause (vacation mode) while you're away, and turn it off when you're back.

Is this an emergency service?

No. I'm Alive alerts the people you choose. It is not an emergency service or a medical device, and it does not call 911.
