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.
You didn't have to panic or call around.
We checked, located, and reached him first.

“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!”
