Has there ever been a time when youve asked yourself: "If something happened to me, how long would it be before anyone knew?"
The Safe Solo app is one answer to this question. It asks you to check in regularly, to confirm youre OK. If you dont check in, it will alert people youve designated.
How it works:
- You check in every day, by pressing a button
- You get notifications to remind you
- You designate one or more people who will be alerted, should you fail to check in
- Alerts go out even if your phone is offline or damaged - theyre sent from the cloud.
What it costs:
- The app is free to use in these first months after our launch.
- Later on, a low-cost annual subscription will be required.
Who would use this?
- People living alone with pets, who want to be sure their furry friends will always be looked after.
- University students living away from home, who want to give family members confidence that theyre OK, without constant texting or location tracking.
- Solo travelers, who similarly want to reassure their people that they are OK.
- People whove moved to a new place for work.
Benefits:
- Peace of mind for you: you know that your people will know, if something happens to you.
- Peace of mind for your recipients: they know if they dont get an alert, youre OK!
- You avoid more invasive alternatives like Find My Friends, Life360, or daily messaging. You keep your privacy!
