Frequently Asked Questions

I live alone in a Melbourne share house that's emptied out.

Even in shared houses, housemates travel or move out. A daily check-in ensures someone always knows you're okay.

My dad lives alone in regional Victoria.

He checks in once daily. If he misses it, you get alerts. Distance doesn't matter — the app works anywhere with signal.

I'm a Monash student far from home.

Set a parent as your contact. One tap daily replaces the daily call. They're only notified if you actually miss.

Is this free?

Yes — completely free. No subscription, no ads, no premium paywall.

Melbourne heatwaves are dangerous for people living alone.

Extreme heat is a real risk, especially for elderly solo residents. If heat prevents a check-in, your family is alerted automatically.
