Moved away from home? Living on your own? Touchbase is the simplest way to let someone know you're OK, without sharing where you are. HOW IT WORKS Choose a daily check-in time. Add someone you trust: a parent, friend or neighbour. Tap once a day. That's it. Your contact doesn't need the app. They just get a text. If you miss your check-in, Touchbase sends you a reminder every hour. If you still haven't tapped after three hours, it texts your contact so they know to get in touch. One check-in per day. Change the time whenever you like. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO No location sharing. No map. No one checking where you are or who you're with. Your contact only hears from Touchbase if you miss a check-in. WHO IT'S FOR Students who want to stop the "are you alive?" messages from home. People who live alone. Lone workers. Anyone who wants a quiet safety net without being tracked. Free, with no subscription.
