The Problem

Sound familiar? You're not alone.

Living independently with a disability means managing risks without constant supervision

Caregivers and family can't be present at all times but need to know you're safe

Complex apps with small buttons and complex navigation are inaccessible

Many safety products are designed for elderly users only and do not account for younger disabled individuals living independently

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the app accessible for screen reader users?

We've designed for simplicity with large text and a single primary action. We continue to improve accessibility based on user feedback.

What if my disability affects my ability to use a phone?

If you can tap a large button on a smartphone screen, you can use this app. For those who cannot, a caregiver can assist with the daily check-in.

Can my care worker be my emergency contact?

Yes. Choose whoever is most likely to respond and help—care worker, family member, neighbor, or support coordinator.

Does this work with assistive technology?

The app uses standard mobile UI that works with built-in phone accessibility features like voice control, switch access, and screen magnification.

I have a physical disability but am fully cognitively capable. Is this app patronizing?

Not at all. The app is designed for anyone living alone who wants a safety net. It treats you as an independent adult who is choosing to let someone know they are okay each day. There is no monitoring, no tracking, and no loss of control. You decide when and how to check in.
