Frequently Asked Questions
Is this like a tracking app for couples?
Absolutely not. There's no location tracking, no message reading, no surveillance. Your partner voluntarily taps once to say they're okay. That's it.
Can both partners check in on each other?
Yes! Both install the app and set each other as emergency contacts. Mutual care, mutual peace of mind.
We already text every day. Why do we need this?
Texts require both people to be available and responsive. This is a simple safety confirmation. If your partner is in an accident, their texts just stop. On Protect Me, this app would alert you.
Does this work internationally?
Yes, works in any country with internet access. Timezone differences are handled automatically.
My partner and I are in different countries for work. Will this reduce arguments about not calling enough?
Many couples find that a daily check-in removes the anxiety that leads to those arguments. When you know they are safe, a missed call feels like a scheduling problem, not a crisis. It separates the safety concern from the communication concern.
Won't a daily check-in feel like we're monitoring each other?
It works the opposite way when it is mutual and voluntary. Both partners install the app, set each other as contacts, and tap once a day. There is no location shared and no message to read, just a simple confirmation that each of you is okay. Because it is reciprocal and you both opted in, it reads as care rather than control, and it removes the low-grade worry that builds when a message goes unanswered for hours across a time-zone gap.
How does this help during the hours our schedules don't overlap?
Long-distance couples often have only a narrow daily window when both are awake and free. A check-in is asynchronous, so your partner confirms they are safe at their convenient time and you see it at yours, with no coordination required. If a check-in is missed, on Protect Me you are alerted rather than left wondering whether the silence means they are busy or in trouble. It fills the long stretches between calls without demanding a scheduled conversation.
