How does Safety Checkpoint work?
You configure a protocol with trusted contacts, timing, and a pre-written message. Each confirmation sends your contacts a one-line email. If a confirmation is missed, the alert goes out automatically, to all of them at once, and they open your message with their PIN.
See how it works, step by step →What happens if I forget to check in?
Your contacts are alerted and open your pre-written message. On a one-off protocol the alert waits the Delayed Delivery you set (up to 48 hours) and a late confirmation cancels it. On a daily protocol it goes out within minutes of the missed time. On a heartbeat, it goes out after the interval plus a grace of at most 30 minutes.
What your contacts receive →Can I stop an alert before it is sent?
Yes. You can confirm or stop an active protocol before its deadline, pause a recurring one, and on a one-off protocol a confirmation during the Delayed Delivery cancels the alert. A running protocol cannot be edited: to change it, stop it and create a new one.
Timing on a check-in →Is my location shared all the time?
No. Safety Checkpoint is not continuous surveillance. The only position it holds is the one you insert into a message with the editor’s GPS button, taken at that moment, or the place you confirm from on a location protocol.
Security and encryption →How many contacts can I add?
Limits depend on your plan: 1 contact on Safety Base (free), 10 on Safety 101, 20 on Survival. You can start with the free plan and upgrade when your coordination needs grow.
Compare plans →Where should I start if I am new?
Start with the How It Works page, then configure contacts first, message second, and protocol timing third.
