Life-Link.App

Life-Link.app was conceived and created by a retired Australian paramedic. Life-Link.app is free to download. Start with a 30-day trial, then continue for AU $4.99/year, or a one-off payment of AU $39.99. Life-Link.app helps people stay in touch in small, informal groups of two or more. No social media — just being social. Only people you invite can see your status or chat with you. You might live alone and want low-pressure contact with people you trust — to say "I'm OK" or "I NEED HELP!" and know the right people will see it. You might be a friend or relative who gets a nudge when someone wants to connect, or an alert when they need support. Or both: one carer supporting several people, or one person with several contacts looking out for them. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Post wellbeing status — Feeling Great, I'm OK, Feeling Unwell, Feeling Bad, or I NEED HELP! — so Emergency Contacts are notified immediately • Receive notifications for alerts, replies, and activity from contacts you care about • Group chat with your Life-Link.app connections • Share location when you choose, with map context during an active emergency (only when enabled) • Add optional profile details (e.g. medical notes) that approved Emergency Contacts may see on the emergency dashboard when you ask for help WELLBEING & HEALTH DATA Life-Link.app is not a medical device and does not diagnose conditions. Core alerting works from the status you choose to post — no wearable or Health data required for basic use. Wellbeing status (user-initiated): You choose when to post Feeling Great, I'm OK, Feeling Unwell, Feeling Bad, or I NEED HELP! Optional notes included. Updates appear on your Timeline and notify approved Emergency Contacts. Optional Wellbeing Data (experimental; permission required): On the Life-Link.app iPhone app you may turn on Use and show Wellbeing Data in Settings and choose a source — Apple Health (heart rate and steps) or a compatible smart ring via Bluetooth. Readings may be inaccurate, delayed, or unavailable. You decide whether Emergency Contacts can see Wellbeing Data during I NEED HELP! During an active I NEED HELP! alert with emergency Wellbeing sharing on, and while your Life-Link.app stays open, fresher readings may upload so approved Emergency Contacts can see optional heart rate, steps, and (for ring) SpO₂ on the emergency dashboard — context only, not diagnosis. Contacts cannot read your ring or Apple Health directly and cannot trigger a new read on your phone. You can turn Wellbeing Data off, change source, or unbind a ring anytime. We do not sell health or wellbeing data, use it for ads, or monitor you for marketing. The app may remind you (not your contacts) if device battery is critically low and not charging. Wellbeing statuses, notifications, chat, and emergency location sharing work fully without a smart ring or Health data. Wellbeing Data is always optional. BACKGROUND LOCATION (ONLY WITH YOUR CLEAR PERMISSION) Optional and only for emergency support: after "I NEED HELP!", and only if you allow background access, location may be shared with your Emergency Contacts for up to 24 hours — nobody else, not for ads. Without that permission and status, background location is not used for sharing. PRIVACY AND CONTROL • You choose Emergency Contacts and who can message you • Foreground location is optional when you turn it on • Optional Apple Health and Bluetooth ring access require separate permission in Settings • Read our privacy policy for full details Life-Link.app is for communication and everyday support between people who already know each other.
