Why This Matters

Core daily check-in free — no subscription (alerts to contacts are an optional Family upgrade)
No credit card required for the free tier

We believe core safety shouldn't be paywalled

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you make money if it's free?

The core daily check-in is free forever; reminders come to you at no cost. Automatic alerts to your emergency contacts (email, push, and SMS), multiple contacts, the caregiver dashboard, and the Family Plus AI voice agent are part of the optional paid Family tiers that support the app.

Will you start charging for the core check-in?

No. The core daily check-in is free and will stay free. Automatic alerts to your emergency contacts are part of the optional paid Family and Family Plus tiers, not paywalled basics.

Free apps usually have ads.

We have no ads. We believe safety apps should be clean and focused, not cluttered with advertising.

What's the catch?

No catch. We built this because we needed it for our own families. We're sharing it because others need it too.

Other free apps eventually get shut down. How do I know this will last?

We understand the concern. The core check-in functionality is simple and inexpensive to maintain. We are committed to keeping it free and running. If anything ever changes, we will give users ample notice and ensure continuity.
