For them

How it works
Set up in under 5 minutes.
Download and pick your side
Sign up as a Pinger (checking in) or Guardian (watching). Your role is set per account, one email, one role.
Share or enter an invite code
Pingers generate a 6-character code in the app and send it to a Guardian. Guardians enter the code to start watching.
Check in. Get peace of mind.
Pingers tap a mood whenever they like. Guardians get a quick email and push for each check-in, and an urgent alert if their Pinger goes silent.
For Pingers
Checking in takes one tap.
Open the app, tap how you feel, done. Your Guardians and emergency contacts get a quiet update, so they never have to wonder.
- ✓
Five honest moods
Well, Call Me, Need Help, Stressed, or Thinking of You. Need Help is an instant SOS that skips the cooldown.
- ✓
A countdown you control
See exactly how long until you’re “overdue.” Choose 12 hours, 1 to 3 days, or a full week in Settings.
- ✓
Verified liveness, your call
Record an optional short video. The app checks that you actually blink and turn your head when prompted, so a photo or an old clip can’t pass, and your Guardians can see it’s really you, live.
For Guardians
Watch over the people you love.
Enter an invite code and you’re connected. See every check-in, set how urgently you want to be alerted, and step in the moment something’s off.
- ✓
One code to connect
Your Pinger shares a 6-character code. Enter it once and you’ll see their check-ins and history.
- ✓
Alert intensity per person
Gentle, Standard, or Urgent, choose how often you’re nudged if someone goes silent. Set it per person.
- ✓
Full check-in history
Every mood, every timestamp, their last known location and proof-of-life video, all in one place.
Features
Quiet, dependable, free.
Configurable alert window
Choose 12 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, or a week, whatever rhythm fits your life.
SOS that never waits
“Need Help” bypasses the cooldown. It goes out instantly, with location and last proof-of-life video attached.
Severity per person
Guardians pick how urgently they want to be notified for each Pinger they watch. Gentle, Standard, or Urgent.
Verified liveness check
Optional proof-of-life video. The app confirms you perform the randomized prompts (blink, turn your head) on camera, so a static photo or old clip can’t pass.
Location only when needed
Your location is only included with check-ins and overdue alerts. Nothing is shared with the world.
Dark mode
Easy on the eyes at any hour. Light, Dark, or System, your choice.
Email + push, both sides
Guardians get notified two ways so nothing slips through. Acknowledge urgent alerts in one tap from your inbox.
Privacy-first
No ads. No data sales. Encrypted transport. Delete your account in two taps.
