Frequently Asked Questions

Does my contact need the app?

No! They receive email alerts regardless. If they have the app, they also get push notifications.

Can I change my emergency contact?

Yes, anytime in settings. Update if your primary contact person changes.

What information does my contact receive?

They learn you missed your check-in and should try to reach you. Simple, actionable alert.

Can I have multiple contacts?

Currently one primary contact. Multi-contact support is planned for future updates.

What if I am the emergency contact and I am unavailable for a few days?

If you know you will be unavailable, coordinate with another family member or friend who can respond in your place. You can update the emergency contact information in the app settings at any time. It is a good practice to have a secondary plan so alerts are always acted upon promptly.
