iAliveWell is an intelligent safety companion designed for individuals living alone, elderly care, and outdoor enthusiasts. We provide an invisible safety net to ensure that you are always connected and protected when it matters most. [Core Features] Smart Auto Check-in: iAlive integrates seamlessly with HealthKit. By monitoring activity metrics like steps and heart rate, the app identifies your safety status and completes "Daily Check-ins" automatically while you are active. Inactivity Alerts: If no activity is detected within your predefined window (e.g., no step count updates or app usage), iAlive triggers a safety alert to check on you. Emergency Notifications: In the event of a missed check-in and subsequent non-response, iAlive will notify your designated emergency contacts, ensuring help is called when needed. Minimalist Experience: Designed for simplicity. Once configured, the app runs quietly in the background, providing peace of mind without constant manual input. Privacy First: Your health data stays on your device and within your personal iCloud. We do not track your specific location or upload sensitive health details. We only send out alerts when a safety risk is detected. Feature Highlight: Remote Guardian Zero-Effort Linking: Powered by Apple's CloudKit. No account creation required—just use a simple 6-digit share code. Real-time Sync: Get instant push notifications whenever your loved ones check in. Safety Alerts: Guardians receive automatic warnings if a user misses their check-in for several consecutive days. Privacy First: Works even with different Apple IDs. Data is securely handled by Apple's infrastructure with end-to-end privacy. Added CloudKit Remote Guardian system. Added Guardian Management tab and share code system. Optimized check-in flow with automatic cloud sync. [Who is it for?] Living Alone: Provides peace of mind for you and your family. Outdoor Adventures: An extra layer of safety for hiking and solo trips.
