Check-Ins
A gentle “still here?” - and one click to say yes.
Check-ins are how we quietly make sure you're around. On whatever cadence you pick - monthly, quarterly, every six months, or once a year - we send a short email (and SMS, if you've enabled it) with a single I'm still here link. Click it. Done. Three seconds.
If you stop responding, we don't panic and we don't release anything. We try again, then again, then loop in your trusted contacts to confirm what's happened.
- Pick your own cadence - monthly to yearly
- One-click confirmation by email or SMS
- Multiple reminders before anything escalates
- Snooze for travel, hospital stays, or quiet seasons
No pressure, no questions. Just a quick tap to let us know you're around so your scheduled messages stay exactly where you left them.
Yes, I'm still hereHow Check-Ins Work
Quiet, predictable, and always under your control.
You pick a cadence
Monthly, quarterly, every six months, or annually. Most people choose quarterly - frequent enough to catch a real problem, infrequent enough to never feel like another chore.
We send a short, quiet message
A plain email (and SMS, if you've turned it on) with one button: I'm still here. No login, no password, no form. Tap and you're done for the period.
Missed one? We try again
If you don't respond, we send a gentle reminder a few days later. Then a second. Then we try every other channel on file - email, SMS, and phone. No one assumes the worst on the first miss.
Trusted contacts are notified
After repeated missed check-ins across a configurable window, your trusted contacts receive a notice asking whether something has happened. They cannot release anything on their own.
You can halt everything instantly
A single login, a single check-in click, or a single reply at any stage cancels the escalation completely. Your messages stay exactly where you set them.
Cadence That Fits Your Life
Monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual. Change it anytime - more often during health stuff, less often when life is steady.
One-Click Confirmation
No login required, no form to fill out. A single tap on the email or SMS link is all it takes. Three seconds, max.
Snooze For Travel Or Quiet Seasons
Heading somewhere off-grid? Recovering from surgery? Pause check-ins for up to 90 days in a single click - no awkward emails arriving while you're out of pocket.
Email + SMS Backup
Don't check email much? Add SMS as your primary channel. The check-in arrives as a short text with a tap-to-confirm link.
Patient Reminders
Miss one? We retry across days, not minutes. Multiple channels. No nagging, no false alarms, no jumping straight to escalation.
Configurable Grace Window
Decide how many consecutive missed check-ins should trigger outreach to your trusted contacts. Defaults are sensible - you stay in charge.
Full History In Your Dashboard
See every check-in we've sent, when you responded, what channel you used. Helpful if you're ever asked to document your activity.
No Tracking, No Snooping
We're not pulling location, biometrics, or activity from other apps. The only signal we use is whether you tap the link we send. That's it.
Designed To Be Gentle
Plain wording, no morbid framing, no scary subject lines. Just a quiet tap on the shoulder. The point is to fade into the background of your life, not become a chore.
Set it once. Forget it. Trust it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often will I get a check-in?
Whatever you choose: monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual. Most people pick quarterly. You can change the cadence anytime in your dashboard.
What happens if I miss one?
Nothing dramatic. We send a gentle reminder a few days later, then another, then try other channels. Only after repeated misses across a configurable window do we reach out to your trusted contacts - and even then, they can't release anything on their own.
Can I snooze if I'm traveling or in the hospital?
Yes. One click pauses check-ins for up to 90 days. You can also extend or end the snooze early. Reminders and trusted contact outreach pause with it.
Do I have to use email?
No. You can use SMS as your primary channel, email as primary with SMS backup, or both at once. We send to whichever channels you've enabled.
What if I just log in instead of clicking the link?
That counts. Any logged-in activity in your dashboard during the check-in window automatically confirms you're around. The link is just the easiest path.
Will my trusted contacts ever see my check-in history?
No. Check-in activity is private to you. Trusted contacts only ever see whether your account is active, in transition, or has been verified - never the cadence or history of your check-ins.
Can my family disable check-ins after I'm gone?
Check-ins stop automatically once your account enters the verified posthumous state - so trusted contacts and family don't get awkward emails. There's no manual cleanup required.
Where does this fit in the bigger picture?
Check-ins are the first signal in the verification chain. Repeated misses bring in your trusted contacts, who can then start the posthumous delivery process. See those pages for the full flow.
