Frequently Asked Questions
How does I'm Alive work for someone living alone in Canada?
You set a daily check-in time. Each day, you tap once to confirm you're okay. If you miss it, the app sends escalating alerts to your emergency contact — a family member, friend, or neighbor. It takes 2 seconds a day.
Is this free? What's the catch?
Completely free — no subscription, no premium tier, no ads. We believe safety check-ins should be accessible to everyone.
I'm a senior living alone. Is this easy to use?
Yes — one big button, one tap. No complicated menus. If you can unlock your phone, you can use this app. Your family member gets their own dashboard to see your check-in history.
Canadian winters are harsh. What if I slip and fall at home?
If you're unable to check in because of a fall or medical emergency, the app automatically alerts your emergency contact within your grace period. They can then call you, a neighbor, or 911. It's a safety net that works even when you can't reach the phone.
Does this work in rural or remote parts of Canada?
The app needs only a brief moment of internet connectivity once per day. If you have cell service or Wi-Fi at any point during the day, you can check in. Even intermittent connectivity in rural areas works fine.
