What exactly gets sent to my contacts?

Your pre-written message, protocol context, and any documents you chose to include. Contacts receive enough information to decide and act quickly. • Text message with your emergency details (address, medical notes, instructions) • Optionally: encrypted file attachments (itinerary, emergency instructions, personal notes) • Optionally: encrypted voice messages you recorded for your contacts (Survival plan) • Optionally: encrypted credentials (site/password pairs) shared securely via PIN-verified access (paid plans) • Optionally: GPS coordinates if you enabled location sharing • Delivery via SMS and/or email depending on each contact's preference • Contacts access a secure emergency page with all your details, files, audio, and a guided response timeline

Does Safety Checkpoint track me all the time?

No. Protocol logic runs only on your configured schedule. Escalation happens when a check-in is missed. It is not constant surveillance. • Location is not tracked in the background • GPS coordinates are only captured when you explicitly attach them to a protocol • No microphone, camera, or always-on monitoring • Your contacts cannot see your location in real time • You control exactly what information is shared and when

Which delivery channels are available?

Email is available on free plans. Premium plans add SMS and audio messages to improve delivery resilience across contact contexts. • Email alerts: available on all plans including free • SMS alerts: available on the Survival plan ($9.99/mo) • Audio message alerts: available on the Survival plan • Each contact chooses independently: SMS, email, or both • Multiple channels reduce the risk of a missed alert

What if I can't check in on time?

That is the core trigger: the protocol marks a missed confirmation, then starts your configured contact escalation sequence automatically. • A configurable grace period (15–60 minutes) runs before the alert triggers • You can still confirm during the grace period to cancel the alert • If the grace period expires, all designated contacts are notified simultaneously • The system works precisely when you cannot act. That is the point • Common mistake: setting the grace period too short for your routine

Can I use different protocol types?

Yes. You can choose recurring check-ins, heartbeat monitoring, or location-based verification depending on your use case. • Recurring check-ins: fixed schedule (e.g. daily at 9 AM), best for routines • Heartbeat monitoring: flexible cadence where you confirm at irregular intervals • Location protocols: geofenced zones that trigger alerts based on arrival or departure • Different protocols can run simultaneously for different situations • Mix and match based on your daily routine, travel plans, or activity level

What do my contacts see during escalation?

They access an emergency page with status progression, countdown or timeline cues, and clear next steps based on whether you confirmed or the alert was triggered. • Real-time protocol status: active, grace period running, or alert triggered • Your pre-written emergency message with all the details you configured • A guided response timeline suggesting what to do next • Contact-side tracking page shows protocol progression visually • Contacts can coordinate their response based on the shared context

Is Safety Checkpoint available on iOS?

Yes. The native iOS app has been available since February 2026, with push notifications and local reminders before each deadline, so a check-in does not depend on keeping a browser open. Web access also works on any device with a browser. • The web app works on iOS Safari, Android Chrome, and desktop browsers • Push notifications are supported on mobile browsers • Native iOS app available since February 2026, with reminders before each deadline • Android native app is in progress • Your account and protocols sync across all devices automatically

A practical routine for daily life, travel, night plans, and sensitive contexts: configure once, then let protocols handle escalation.

Rather see it than read it?

Two live demos, no account needed: the emergency page your contacts open, and the protocol status timeline they follow.

What you set up

Three decisions, once. After that the protocol runs on its own.

Choose the Right Protocol

Pick recurring check-ins, heartbeat monitoring, or location verification based on your routine and risk level.

Recurring daily/weekly windows

Heartbeat every 1-4h

Location arrival deadlines

Custom protocol start/end

Prepare Message + Documents

Build your payload with text, audio, documents, links and credentials, add optional geolocation, and encrypt everything end-to-end.

Simple text or audio message

Upload docs + secure links

Auth credentials for trusted access

Optional geolocation context (if needed)

100% encrypted before delivery

Missed Check-in Detection

If a confirmation is missed, protocol status moves automatically and escalation begins without manual action.

What your contacts go through

Nobody is enrolled without agreeing to it, and nobody is stuck with it either.

They Accept or Refuse, Explicitly

Each contact receives an invitation email and decides for themselves. If they accept, they verify their details and choose how alerts reach them. If they refuse, nothing is enrolled.

Clear accept or refuse choices

Consent is explicit and traceable

On accept: verify details, choose email, SMS or both

On refuse: no enrollment, status shown to you

They Follow a Clear Timeline

If an alert is triggered, contacts receive it on their selected channel and follow a guided response timeline.

Alert sent via selected channel(s)

Open the secure emergency page

See what happened and when (timeline)

Follow clear next actions

They Can Withdraw Consent Later

After acceptance, the contact can either withdraw consent or be removed entirely. These are two distinct actions.

Option 1: Withdraw consent (stop future alerts)

Option 2: Remove contact completely

Choose one action based on the situation

Manage this at /withdraw-consent
