The Problem

Sound familiar? You're not alone.

Can't call your parents every single day

Worry constantly when you don't hear from them

Feel guilty about not checking in more often

Your parents downplay health issues on the phone, so a verbal 'I'm fine' doesn't always ease your mind

Siblings assume someone else is keeping tabs, so nobody consistently checks

How I'm Alive Solves This

A simple solution that actually works.

Parents check in at their convenience—no scheduling needed

You're notified only when something might be wrong

Daily peace of mind without daily phone calls

A missed check-in is an objective signal that cuts through reassuring words and actually prompts action

Everyone in the family can see that someone is the designated contact, ending the 'I thought you were calling them' problem

Frequently Asked Questions

Do my parents need to be tech-savvy?

Not at all. The app has one big button. If they can use WhatsApp, they can use this. Most parents learn it in under a minute.

What if my parents forget to check in?

We send them gentle reminders. If they still miss, you get notified. The grace period prevents false alarms from simple forgetfulness.

Can both my siblings and I receive alerts?

Currently one primary contact. You can be that contact and coordinate with siblings. Multi-contact support is coming soon.

Is this intrusive for my parents?

The opposite! It's less intrusive than daily calls. One quick tap and they're done. No conversation required unless they want one.

What if one parent is healthy but the other has health issues?

Each parent can have their own account with their own check-in schedule. You can be the emergency contact for both, and you will know exactly which parent missed a check-in so you can respond appropriately.
