## What is Snug?

Snug is a simple daily check-in app for people who live alone. Once a day, at a time you pick, you tap a button to say you're okay. If you miss it, Snug alerts the people you trust.

Made for:
- Older adults living alone who want to keep their independence
- Adult children checking on a parent without calling every day
- Pet owners who want someone to know if something happens
- Anyone aging solo, without family nearby

How it works:
- Pick your daily check-in time
- Tap once to check in
- Miss it, and Snug alerts your emergency contacts by text
- Add as many contacts as you like, free

Want more? The Dispatch Plan adds a live call from Snug's team if you miss a check-in, plus a wellness check.

A modern alternative to a medical alert pendant. No wearable, no equipment, just your phone. Trusted for over 20 million check-ins and featured by AARP.

### 5/5 — Super easy to use

*2026-08-27, version 2.21.0*

Great!  I’m glad I found this.

### 5/5 — Comforting

*2026-08-19, version 2.21.0*

A good way of being connected with being shackled. I learned to have a cushion for check in times and to let contacts know procedures if check in is delayed. It a comforting service I hope I can continue to use.

### 5/5 — Snug daily check

*2026-08-19, version 2.21.0*

I’m really glad my sister recommended I get this app. It gives peace of mind knowing that my family will get an alert if I don’t check in.

### 5/5 — Peace of Mind

*2026-08-18, version 2.21.0*

I’ve been using the free version for a few years. It gives me great peace of mind, living alone. Over the past 4 years, I’ve had two friends die in their sleep unexpectedly. If it happened to me, I’m afraid my body would be very decomposed before anyone found me…yuck. My doc was telling me of a patient who fell at home, seriously injured, couldn’t get to a phone, lay on the floor for 3 days before she heard the outdoor pest control man and was able to call out loud enough to get his attention. With Snug Safety, at least the longest for me to be found would be one day, depending on how long from my check in time it happened. Snug really helps me to remain as independent as possible while still having a safety net. As I age, I plan on switching to the paid plan.

### 5/5 — Great idea!!

*2026-08-18, version 2.21.0*

Easy to use, with daily inspirational quotes!!
Love it!!

### 5/5 — Alone but not alone

*2026-08-18, version 2.21.0*

I have the free version of the app. As a widowed senior I have no friends or family in my area. My main concern is my dog. If I don’t wake up who will come to save her? Every day when I click my button to say I’m still here I know that the day I don’t my family will come for my baby within 24 hours. That means everything to me.

### 5/5 — Just In Case

*2026-08-18, version 2.21.0*

Very easy to use, and gives me peace of mind just in case something happens to me.

### 5/5 — Idea, remote check-in

*2026-08-18, version 2.21.0*

I have primary progressive, Multiple Sclerosis
I am more susceptible to the earth rotation then most… I’m a human Weibel… This allows, friends and family to no daily that I’m OK, and I don’t have to have anyone come around to check in on me
This app has been an absolute godsend
I can live my life… And let those that I want to know… That I’m doing OK.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-18, version 2.21.0*

I have been using Snug since my husband passed away.  I am elderly.  It gives me (and my children) great comfort to know all is well each morning.

### 5/5 — Peace of mind

*2026-08-16, version 2.21.0*

I am in my late 70s. I have two children who live within 50 miles however they do not call me very often.  Snug gives me peace of mind that knowing if I don’t check in, I won’t be alone they will contact my family. I highly recommend Snug to all senior singles.
