When routine takes over, VIAlerts gives you a reason to pause. Some reminders are easy to dismiss. Others deserve your full attention. VIAlerts — Very Important Alerts — is designed for the moments when forgetting something important could matter. It combines scheduled alerts, automatic voice prompts, practical checklists, and deliberate confirmation to help bring your attention back to what needs to be checked. MORE THAN A NOTIFICATION VIAlerts does more than tell you that something needs attention. It helps you remember what the alert was actually for. Create a VIAlert, choose when it should run, and add the items you want to verify. When the time comes, VIAlerts can use voice to reinforce the reminder and guide you through the checklist. SAFETY VIAlerts Safety VIAlerts are designed for higher-attention routines such as: Vehicle safety checks Home safety checks Caregiving routines Important departure checks Other situations where you want an extra reminder to stop and verify Safety VIAlerts require automatic voice, helping make important checks harder to overlook. PAUSE. CHECK. CONFIRM. A quick tap can become automatic. That is why Safety VIAlerts use a deliberate press-and-hold confirmation. Before completing a pending safety check, VIAlerts asks you to hold for approximately two seconds — a small intentional pause to help shift your attention away from the routine and back to the checklist in front of you. BUILT-IN CHECKLISTS VIAlerts includes built-in Vehicle Safety Check and Home Safety Check templates that you can adapt to your routine. Vehicle Safety Check can remind you to review items such as: Children Pets Older adults Keys Phone and wallet Home Safety Check can include: Stove and oven Gas Electrical appliances Doors and windows Garage Security alarm You can customize checklist items to match what matters in your own routine. CREATE YOUR OWN VIAlerts VIAlerts is not limited to safety checks.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account is required. VIAlerts is designed to keep your alert content and preferences on your device, without third-party advertising or advertising tracking.
