How it works

Simple enough for every day.

Set it up once in a few minutes. After that, your part takes a few seconds.

  1. Sign Up

    Create your account and set your check-in schedule. Daily works for most people.

  2. Add Contacts

    Add the people who care about you, and choose what kind of alerts each one receives.

  3. Check In Daily

    Tap the button to confirm you're okay. Get a wellness tip and track your mood if you like.

  4. Rest Easy

    If you ever can't check in, we try to reach you first. Then your contacts are alerted to check on you.

Behind the scenes

What happens if you don't check in?

Here is what StillSafe does, step by step, when a check-in is missed. See How Alerts Work for every timing and limit.

Example messages. Real alerts use your name, your contacts, and your settings.

  1. 30 min before deadline

    Friendly Reminder

    You get a text, email, or push notification with a one-tap check-in link. Tap it from your phone and you're done. No need to open the app or log in.

    Example textStillSafe: Your check-in is due in 30 minutes. Check in now to avoid alerting your contacts.
  2. Deadline passes

    We Try to Reach You First

    On Premium with AI calls turned on, StillSafe calls your phone before alerting anyone and asks if you're okay. You can confirm you're safe right on the call. It tries up to three times, about five minutes apart.

    Example call“Hi Ruth, this is StillSafe. You missed a check-in, so we are calling to make sure you are safe.”
  3. Still no response

    Your Emergency Contacts Are Notified

    Your closest contacts receive an alert by email, text, or phone call with your name, phone number, and last known location. They'll know something might be wrong and how to reach you.

    Example alertSTILLSAFE ALERT: Ruth has not checked in and may need help. Please try to contact them.
  4. Hours later

    Smart Escalation

    If the situation isn't resolved, StillSafe escalates to your next tier of contacts. You control who gets notified first and who gets called in if the first group can't reach you.

  5. You check in

    All Clear

    When you check in, every contact StillSafe tried to reach gets an automatic "all clear" message so they can stand down. Your timer resets and life goes on.

    Example textSTILLSAFE: Good news! Ruth has checked in and is OK. No action needed.

The steps run automatically on your schedule. Your part is one tap a day.

StillSafe is a check-in service: it alerts the people you choose and does not dispatch responders. In an emergency, call 911.

Features

More than just a check-in.

StillSafe pairs automated safety check-ins with wellness support to help you live better and safer.

Customizable Check-Ins

Set your check-in schedule to match your lifestyle, anywhere from every 12 hours to every 72 hours, with a different schedule on weekends if you like. Get a reminder before each deadline.

Try it

This is the whole daily task. Tap the button to see a check-in.

Multi-Channel Alerts

Alerts go out by email, text message, and AI voice call, so a notification is far harder to miss wherever your contacts are.

Smart Alert Escalation

Missed a check-in? We try to reach you first, then your primary contact. If they can't reach you, we escalate to your backup contacts.

Adventure Mode

Hiking, kayaking, or riding? Start a timed activity check-in. If you don't return safely, your contacts get your location and activity details.

Date Safety Mode

Meeting someone new? Log their details, enable GPS tracking, and set check-in intervals. Trigger a discreet distress signal if you feel unsafe.

Pet Care Profiles

Store feeding schedules, medications, and vet info. Your contacts can see exactly how to care for your pets if needed.

Daily Wellness & Companion

Each check-in comes with a wellness tip, plus daily companion messages to remind you that you matter and to encourage connection.

Nothing to Install for Your Contacts

Your contacts get alerts by email, text, or phone call. They never need to download an app or create an account.

Plus these essentials

  • Emergency info card with medical details
  • Customizable contact notification types
  • GPS location sharing in alerts
  • Mood tracking and wellness journal
  • AI call to you before alerting contacts
  • Travel mode with timezone detection
In everyday life

How people use StillSafe.

Three example setups for common situations.

Pen-and-ink drawing of a man working late at his kitchen table under a desk lamp, smiling at his phone beside his laptop.
24-hour check-in, one contact

Working from home alone

A remote worker sets a 24-hour check-in with a reminder before the deadline and adds a sibling as the first contact. If a check-in is missed and the grace period runs out, the sibling gets an alert with the user's phone number so they can call.

Daily check-in, two tiers of contacts

A parent living alone

A retiree checks in once each morning with one tap. A daughter is the first contact and a neighbor is the backup. If the daughter's alert goes unresolved, the neighbor is notified after the escalation delay.

Pen-and-ink drawing of a woman hiking alone on a mountain ridge at golden hour, looking out over pine-covered valleys.
Adventure Mode, timed return

A solo day hike

A hiker starts an Adventure Mode session with the trail name and an expected return time. If they have not checked in when the timer and grace period end, their contacts receive the activity details and the last location the phone shared.

These are illustrative scenarios written by the StillSafe team to show how the features work. They describe typical settings and do not quote real customers.

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

What happens if I accidentally miss a check-in?
Your contacts are not alerted the moment a deadline passes. You get reminders before the deadline and a grace period after it. Premium users with AI calls turned on also get a phone call asking if they're okay. If you still haven't checked in, your emergency contacts are notified, and if you check in after that, they get an automatic all-clear.
Is my location and personal data private?
Yes. Your location goes to your emergency contacts only in an alert or during a session where you turn location sharing on. Contact names, phone numbers, and email addresses are encrypted at rest with AES-256, and all traffic uses HTTPS. We do not sell your personal information. The providers that deliver emails, texts, and calls receive only what they need to send each message. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Do my emergency contacts need to install an app?
No. Your contacts receive alerts via email, SMS text, or phone call, whichever you choose. They don't need to download anything or create an account. When they receive an alert, they get all the information they need to check on you.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. You can cancel your Premium subscription at any time with no penalties or fees. Your access continues until the end of your billing period, and you can always use the Free plan with basic features.
How is this different from just texting a friend daily?
The difference is consistency. Friends forget, get busy, or miss messages. StillSafe runs on a schedule: it tracks your check-ins, sends reminders, escalates through backup contacts if needed, and can call you first to ask if you're okay. Adventure Mode and location sharing add details a simple text would leave out. It works best alongside the people who already check on you.

One tap a day. Someone you trust stays in the loop.

Set your schedule, add the people you trust, and check in with one tap. If a check-in is missed, they are alerted so they can check on you.
