Dead Man's Switch checks that you're OK. Choose how often you'll check in, anywhere from once a day to once a year. If you miss your deadline, we remind you on your phone. If you still don't check in, the people you chose get an email with the message you wrote. • Check in with one tap: in the app, from a widget, a notification, Siri or Control Center • A live countdown shows exactly how long you have • See when your contacts would be emailed, and who • Every check-in is confirmed by our server, so what you see is what will happen • Reminders every day and before your deadline • Write one message for everyone, or a personal one for each person • If you check in after an alert, your contacts hear that you're OK Use it for solo hikes and travel, living alone, health conditions, or peace of mind for the people who care about you. Dead Man's Switch is not an emergency service. If you are in danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.
