I’m Alive – Safety Check‑In is a gentle wellbeing app that helps you stay connected with someone you trust. Instead of constant monitoring or intrusive tracking, the app keeps things simple: you check in every day, and if you miss two check‑ins in a row or go more than 48 hours without checking in, your chosen contact receives a calm, informative notification. The goal is connection, not pressure. Life gets busy, routines shift, and sometimes we just need a small safety net that helps us feel seen and supported. I’m Alive is designed with care, privacy, and emotional wellbeing at its core. • Check in with a single tap • Choose a trusted contact who will be notified only if needed • Set your preferred check‑in time and grace period • No location tracking, no data selling, no ads • A warm, minimal interface that feels safe and human I’m Alive is not an emergency service. It’s a simple tool that helps you stay in touch and feel a little more supported each day.
