Someone notices if your day goes quiet.
Check on Mine is a free app for people who live alone and the family who worry about them. There's nothing to remember to do. Your phone already knows you're up and about.
Are you OK?
Family alerted
All clear
How it works
- Your phone checks in for youOpening the app, or simply walking around with your phone, counts as checking in. You don't have to press anything.
- If things go quiet, it asks you firstAfter a long quiet stretch while you'd normally be awake, you get an "Are you OK?" notification. One tap answers it.
- Then it tells the people you choseIf you don't answer, the family or friends you've added are alerted. The moment you're active again, they hear that too.
When you need help now
Press the SOS button. You get five seconds to cancel, then everyone checking on you is alerted with where you are. If the app can't reach us, it offers to call 911 instead.
What it doesn't do
- It doesn't follow your location. Your location is shared only when you press SOS.
- It doesn't read your messages, calls or anything else on your phone.
- It doesn't show ads, and nobody's data is sold.
- It doesn't replace 911. In an emergency, call 911 first.
Setting it up
Install Check on Mine on your phone and on the phone of each person who'll check on you. In the app, tap Add someone to check on me and share the code. When they enter it, you're connected. You can pick your sleep hours, how long is "too quiet", and pause it when you travel.
