Daily Check-in App for Business Travelers
Another city, another hotel room, another week where nobody would notice a problem until the morning meeting. One tap each evening tells someone you trust you're okay—wherever work sends you.

The Problem
Sound familiar? You're not alone.
You check into a hotel alone and the only person expecting you is a client at 9 AM tomorrow
Your family has your itinerary but not your hours—a quiet evening after a client dinner looks exactly like a problem
Back-to-back meetings across time zones make a nightly call home impractical for everyone involved
Remote workers who string trips together have no office, no colleagues, and no one who would notice an absence
How I'm Alive Solves This
A simple solution that actually works.
An evening check-in from the hotel becomes part of the travel routine—one tap, five seconds, done
On Protect Me, your contact is alerted only if you miss—no news genuinely is good news
Timezone-aware check-ins adjust automatically, so a Monday in Singapore works like a Tuesday in Chicago
Trip timer arriving July 2026: set an arrival time for a specific journey, and if you go quiet past it, your contact gets a single alert with your last-known location

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a corporate travel-safety tool my company manages?
No, and we do not pretend to be one. I'm Alive is a consumer app that you, the individual traveler, set up yourself in a couple of minutes. There is no employer dashboard, no admin console, and no travel manager watching you. You choose who gets alerted—a partner, a parent, a friend—and your check-in data stays between you and them. If your company runs a duty-of-care platform, this works quietly alongside it as your own personal layer.
How does the hotel routine actually work?
Pick a time you are reliably back at the hotel—many travelers use 9 or 10 PM local time. When the reminder arrives, tap once. That is the whole habit. On Protect Me, if the check-in does not come, your contact is alerted after a grace period and can call you, call the hotel, or escalate. It solves the itinerary problem: your family may know which city you are in, but the check-in tells them the only thing that matters—that you are okay tonight.
What is the trip timer, and when can I use it?
The trip timer is arriving July 2026. You set an expected arrival time for a specific journey—a late flight, a train to a regional office, a drive between cities. If you go quiet past that time, your contact receives a single alert that includes your last-known location. It is not live tracking; nobody watches your dot move, and nothing is shared at all if you arrive and confirm on time. On the $4.99 one-time plan it will cover two trips a month of up to 24 hours each.
How is this different from Life360 for work trips?
Life360 is built for families who want continuous location sharing—there is a free tier, then Silver at $7.99/mo, Gold at $14.99/mo, and Platinum at $24.99/mo (their official published prices, verified June 2026). It has no reply-or-escalate timer: its 'No-Show' arrival alerts are a paid feature, and emergency dispatch sits behind Gold. I'm Alive takes the opposite approach for adults who travel: no always-on tracking at all. You check in once a day, and your contact hears something only if you miss. Privacy by default, at a lower price.
Does it work on international trips?
Yes. Alerts travel by push notification and email, which work in any country with internet—there is no US-only dispatch center your safety net depends on. Check in on hotel WiFi in Lisbon or Bangkok and your contact at home is covered. One honest limit: we alert people you trust, not emergency services. There is no 24/7 professional dispatch, so choose a contact who would actually pick up the phone and act. On Protect Me, a missed daily check-in can also reach your contact by SMS.
What does it cost for a frequent traveler?
The daily check-in is free forever—one contact, unlimited check-ins, one missed-check-in alert per month, no signup wall. A one-time $4.99 purchase (not a subscription) adds custom check-in times, notes, and five missed-check-in alerts a month, plus two trips a month when the trip timer arrives in July 2026. Protect Me is $29.99 a year for up to ten contacts, graded escalation, and SMS on missed daily check-ins. For a road warrior, that is less than one airport sandwich a month.
