CheckInOn.Me is an automated personal safety system that will check on you any time you want, as often as you want.

If we don’t get the right response in the right amount of time, we contact your selected and confirmed friends and family. Our phone app maps everybody, and opens a group chat so that contacted friends can determine who’s close by and how to get help, if it’s needed.
