About AliveGuard
AliveGuard – Freedom in everyday life. Safety in the background. You live alone, travel solo, or spend time outdoors – and no one knows if you made it home safe. AliveGuard changes that: a daily check-in, and in an emergency your trusted contacts are notified right away. How it works: Confirm once a day with a tap of “I’m OK”. If you don't respond, a countdown starts – after that, your contacts are automatically notified by email, and by SMS and WhatsApp with Premium. Tip: The easiest way is to set up AliveGuard together — on the phone of the person who's being protected. Takes just a few minutes. Need help right now? The SOS button reaches your contacts at the touch of a button – independent of the check-in timer. AliveGuard is for you if you: - live alone and know that accidents can happen - hike, climb, or cycle solo - travel as a backpacker or business traveler - are older and want to give your family peace of mind And for your family, when: - you worry – but don't want to call every evening - you know that mum or dad would never ask for help Start free. Premium for more: The free version includes 1 emergency contact. With Premium you get: - up to 5 emergency contacts - up to 5 daily check-in times - up to 5 SMS notifications per month - WhatsApp alerts to contacts who have agreed to receive them - a web portal where your contacts see your status and can adjust your check-in time — no app download needed Premium: monthly or yearly – price shown in the App Store. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
