Frequently Asked Questions

I live alone in a Toronto condo. Why do I need this?

Condo living means your neighbors may not notice if something goes wrong for days. A daily check-in ensures someone is alerted within hours, not days.

My elderly parent lives alone in Scarborough. Can I monitor them?

Yes — they check in once a day with one tap. If they miss it, you get escalating alerts. You can see their check-in history on your guardian dashboard.

Does this work during Toronto ice storms and power outages?

The app only needs a brief moment of cell or Wi-Fi connectivity. As long as their phone has battery, they can check in. If a power outage prevents check-in, you'll be alerted — which is exactly when you'd want to know.

I'm a student at U of T living alone for the first time.

Perfect use case. Set up your parent as your emergency contact. One tap a day gives them peace of mind without daily phone calls. It's the mature safety decision.
