Frequently Asked Questions

I'm an expat in Germany and my family is in India. Does this work?

Perfectly. You check in at your convenient time in Germany, and your family receives updates automatically adjusted for Indian time.

What if I need emergency help abroad?

If you miss a check-in, your family is alerted and can contact your local emergency services or embassy. Always keep local emergency numbers handy too.

I travel frequently within my region. Does it handle that?

Yes. Weekend trips to neighboring countries? Business travel? The app works anywhere with internet. No location updates needed.

Can I set my company's HR as a backup contact?

Your contact should be someone who would take personal action. A family member is usually best. HR contacts are better handled through your company's own systems.
