Someone should know you're okay.

A simple daily check-in.
If you go silent, your person is alerted — that's all we ever send. Try It is free; Protect Me alerts every time.

I'm Alive is the personal safety app for people who live independently — adults living alone, the family who set it up for them, solo travelers and remote workers. The daily check-in is free: tap “I'm okay” once a day and get reminders if you forget. Alert-only by default — your emergency contact is messaged only if you go silent. Try It includes one alert a month; Protect Me alerts every time, with escalation and SMS. No continuous tracking, no hardware, no contract.

500+ people check in daily

Trusted by families in 50+ countries worldwide

Free forever · No hardware · 2-minute setup

Hear from people living independently.

“I love my independent life, but my family worries.”

This started with a phone call.

In 2003, while I was finishing my MBA, my father passed away.

My sister called.

I wasn't there. I didn't know.

I built I'm Alive so no family has to wonder.

A check-in your family actually feels

One tap reaches the people who care. And if you ever miss it, we locate and call — before anyone has to panic.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

What if you forget to check in?

Other apps panic. Ours doesn't.

I'm Alive silently detects your phone's activity — unlocks, charging, movement. If you forget to tap but your phone shows you're active, we know you're okay. No false alarms. No embarrassing calls to your family.

Phone Unlocked

Your phone knows you're awake

Charging Started

Activity detected — you plugged it in

Motion Detected

Phone is moving — you're active

No GPS tracking. No camera. No microphone. Just phone activity signals.

Passive monitoring showing phone activity signals - unlocked, charging, motion detected

Does exactly what it says
“I've got a lot of peace of mind very easily from this app. It's really simple to set up and even simpler to use — daily reminders and a friendly green button! It doesn't even require an account or a password. The paid version (which I feel is actually really good value) sets up an escalation process including SMS to multiple contacts. I had a bug I needed fixing, and support responded in hours, having solved my problem. Which is probably the best feature of all!”
