I'm Alive

I'm Alive is a personal safety app designed for individuals who live independently, including adults living alone, solo travelers, remote workers, and those aging in place. The app addresses the need for daily reassurance by enabling users to check in with a simple tap once a day. If a user misses a check-in, the app sends reminders and, if there is no response, notifies trusted contacts through push notifications, email, or SMS. The service is intended to provide peace of mind for both users and their families, ensuring someone is aware of their well-being without continuous tracking or unnecessary alerts.

The platform offers tailored experiences for various lifestyles. For solo and independent living, the app uses passive monitoring by reading phone activity—such as unlocks, charging, and movement—to confirm safety if a daily check-in is missed, reducing false alarms. In the context of solo travel or outdoor activities, users can start a journey by setting a destination and arrival time, share their live location with selected contacts through a web link (no app required for viewers), and receive alerts if they miss their estimated arrival. For those aging in place, the app features a simple interface with one-tap check-ins, gentle reminders, family escalation to up to 10 contacts, and a guardian dashboard that allows the family to see daily status updates. Additionally, there is a one-tap SOS feature for emergencies, which sends immediate alerts and location information to designated contacts.

I'm Alive is available for download on the App Store and Google Play, making it accessible on both iOS and Android devices. The daily check-in feature is free, with no hardware required and a quick setup process. The free plan includes one alert per month, while the Protect Me plan offers alerts every time, with escalation and SMS capabilities. The app does not require a contract and does not perform continuous location tracking, sharing location only during active journeys or emergencies and only with chosen contacts. Privacy is emphasized, with users always able to see when their location is being shared and able to stop sharing at any time.
