No check-ins. Just someone who'll know.
If you live alone, a bad fall or a medical emergency can go unnoticed for days. deadyet? watches for the everyday activity your phone already records. If it stops for too long, the people you chose get a text.
Other safety apps ask you to tap a button every day. Miss one and your family gets a false alarm. Forget for a week and you stop using the app. deadyet? doesn't ask you to do anything. You just live your life.
How it works
- It notices activity in the background. With your permission, deadyet? reads step and movement data from Apple Health. No buttons, no reminders.
- If activity stops, it checks with you first. After the stretch of inactivity you choose (12 to 48 hours), your phone asks if you're okay. One tap and nothing else happens.
- If you don't answer, your contacts hear about it. After a grace period (2 to 8 hours), the people you picked get a text or phone call suggesting they check on you.
Your contacts opt in themselves
Adding someone as a contact doesn't send them anything. You share a personal invitation link with them, and they agree by sending a text from their own phone. They can stop messages at any time by replying STOP. How text messages work.
What it isn't
deadyet? isn't an emergency service and doesn't contact 911. It can't tell whether you're okay; it only knows your phone hasn't seen you move. Phones run out of battery and texts can be delayed, so treat it as a safety net alongside the people in your life, not a replacement for them.
