## What is AliveGuard?

AliveGuard – the daily sign of life for everyone who lives alone, and their family.

One tap a day, and the family knows: all is well. If the sign of life doesn't come, a relative is notified automatically – no medical alert device and no daily check-up calls.

How it works:
Confirm once a day with a tap of “I’m OK”. If you don't respond, a countdown starts – after that, your contacts are automatically notified by email, and by SMS and WhatsApp with Premium.

Tip: The easiest way is to set up AliveGuard together — on the phone of the person who's being protected. Takes just a few minutes.

Need help right now? The SOS button reaches your contacts at the touch of a button – independent of the check-in timer.

For seniors who:
- live alone and want to stay independent
- want to give their family peace of mind without calling all the time
- are still too fit for a medical alert system

For families who:
- worry, but don't want to call every evening
- know that Mom or Dad would never ask for help
- live far away and still want to know all is well

And for anyone who lives alone, hikes or travels and wants someone to know if something happens.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.8 — 2026-11-04

Small improvements behind the scenes – AliveGuard works just as before.

### 1.3.7 — 2026-11-01

Change your check-in time right away: tap “Next check-in due” on the main screen to change your daily time – no detour through settings.

### 1.3.6 — 2026-10-31

A clear start: at the end of setup you see when your first check-in is due and who is notified otherwise. If you just want to try AliveGuard first, you can leave the alert off for now.
• When the alert is off, the main screen now says so clearly – with a button to switch it back on.
• Notifications on iPhone: AliveGuard now reliably lets you know when your contacts have been notified – and when one of them is already looking after you.

### 1.3.5 — 2026-10-28

• Your next check-in stays on the right day: checking in several times or changing the check-in time no longer pushes it back by mistake.
• After the clocks change, messages to your contacts show the correct time of your last check-in.

### 1.3.4 — 2026-10-23

• An even more reliable SOS button: when the connection is poor, AliveGuard keeps trying to send your call for help automatically – and confirms as soon as it has arrived.
• New in settings: "Help & feedback", with frequently asked questions, a direct line for your ideas and wishes, and a way to rate AliveGuard.
• Small improvements to how the settings respond to your taps.
