Someone should always know you're okay.

Check In On Me is the home of SafePulse — a personal safety check-in app. Set a timer, and if you don't check in, SafePulse alerts your trusted contacts with your last known location — even if your phone is dead, off, or has no signal.

Built for the moments when nobody is watching

Set a check-in before a run, a late drive, a solo hike, or a long day alone. If you don't tap “I'm OK” before the timer runs out, SafePulse reaches the people you chose.

Automatic Check-Ins

Choose your interval. SafePulse runs quietly in the background until you need it.

🚨

SOS Button

One tap immediately alerts every emergency contact you've added, with your location.

☁️

Works Even If Your Phone Dies

Our secure cloud watches your check-in deadline — if your device is dead, off, or offline, your alerts still go out. Every edition, every store.

📧

Text + Email Alerts

Alerts arrive by SMS with a callback number — and by email, which reaches your contacts anywhere in the world.

🔒

Private by Design

No accounts, no ads, no analytics. Your information is used for one thing: delivering your alerts — nothing else ever leaves your device, and nothing is ever sold.

🔋

Low-Battery Warning

If your phone gets dangerously low, SafePulse warns your circle so they know you may go offline.

📞

Auto-Call on SOS

SafePulse can automatically dial your first emergency contact when SOS is triggered.

👥

Consent First

Every contact taps “yes” before receiving a single alert — you'll see them switch to Approved in seconds. No spam, ever.

How it works

Simple setup, quiet protection. Get going in a couple of minutes.

1

Set your schedule

Choose how often you want to check in — every few hours, once a day, or a custom interval.

2

Add your contacts

Pick the trusted people who'll be notified if you miss a check-in or trigger an alert.

3

Live your life

Go about your day. SafePulse runs in the background, ready the moment you need it.

4

If you miss a check-in

SafePulse warns you first — it vibrates and opens the app so you can tap “I'm OK.” If you still don't respond, your trusted contacts get a text and email with your last known location and your callback number. This happens even if your device is dead or off.

When being alone is part of the job

Some people meet strangers alone as a normal part of the work day, in a building nobody else knows they are in. If that is your job, the timer is worth setting up a little differently.

🏠

Real estate agents

Start a check-in before you walk into a showing. If you don't tap “I'm OK” before it runs out, your contacts get a text and email with your last known location — even if your phone is off or dead.

Home health & hospice nurses

Start a check-in on the doorstep of a visit. The schedule says when you were due in — it doesn't say when you came out. If you don't check in, your contacts get your last known location.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask most before they set up their first check-in.

What happens if my phone dies or is turned off?

Your contacts are still alerted, because the SafePulse cloud watches your check-in deadline for you. If your device is dead, switched off, or has no signal when the deadline passes, the alert still goes out with your last known location. This works on every edition — Google Play, Samsung, Huawei, Amazon Fire and iPhone — because the deadline is watched on our side, not on your phone.

What is a personal safety check-in app?

A personal safety check-in app asks you to confirm you're okay at a set interval, and notifies people you chose if you don't respond. SafePulse works exactly this way: you set a timer, you tap “I'm OK” before it runs out, and if you don't, your trusted contacts get a text and email with your last known location and your callback number.

What app texts my family if I don't check in?

SafePulse does. You set a timer, and if you don't tap “I'm OK” before it runs out, it sends your family an ordinary text message and email with your last known location and a callback number. They don't need the app, an account, or anything installed — just a phone or an inbox.

Is there an app that alerts someone if I live alone and fall?

SafePulse alerts your trusted contacts whenever you stop responding, which covers a fall, a medical episode, or any situation where you can't reach your phone. It doesn't detect falls with a sensor — it works on missed check-ins, so there's no pendant to wear and no button you have to be conscious enough to press.

What's the best safety app for hiking or working alone?

Look for one that alerts someone automatically when you stop responding, rather than one that needs you to press a button — in a real emergency you may not be able to. SafePulse is built for exactly that: set a short check-in before a solo hike or a night shift, and your contacts get your last known location if you miss it.

Can I use SafePulse to check on an elderly parent?

Yes. Your parent sets a check-in on their own device and adds you as a trusted contact, so you get a text and email with their location only if they miss it — instead of having to call every day to be sure. A Fire tablet on the nightstand running PulseGuard works well for someone who doesn't want another app on their phone.

How do I set up a check-in timer on my phone?

Install SafePulse, choose your check-in interval, and add the trusted contacts who should be notified — it takes about two minutes. Each contact taps “yes” to consent, and then the app runs quietly in the background until you need it. There's a full step-by-step setup guide if you want to follow along.

Is SafePulse a dead man's switch app?

Yes, in the personal safety sense — a dead man's switch triggers an action when you stop responding, and SafePulse alerts your trusted contacts if you miss your check-in. That's why people use it for living alone, solo hiking, night shifts, rideshare driving, and long drives.

Do my emergency contacts need to install the app?

No. Your contacts get an ordinary text message and email, so any phone or inbox works — they never install anything or create an account. Each contact does have to tap “yes” to consent before SafePulse will send them a single alert.

Does SafePulse work outside the United States?

Yes, using email alerts, which reach your contacts anywhere in the world. Text alerts are sent from a United States number, so email is the channel to rely on for international contacts. You can add both an email address and a phone number for each contact, and SafePulse will use both.

Does SafePulse track my location all the time?

No. SafePulse never shares your location with anyone unless an alert actually goes out, and there are no accounts, no ads, and no analytics. So the cloud can alert your contacts while your device is off, your last known location is stored securely for that one purpose and nothing else. It is never sold, and it is deleted when you delete your data.

What if I miss a check-in by accident?

Nothing is sent right away — SafePulse warns you first. When your deadline passes it vibrates and opens the app so you can tap “I'm OK.” Only if you still don't respond does it alert your contacts, so forgetting a check-in for a minute doesn't turn into a false alarm.

How much does SafePulse cost?

Pricing depends on your platform. On iPhone, SafePulse is $2.99 per month, and anyone who bought the app before it moved to a subscription keeps full access free, permanently. On Google Play, Samsung Galaxy Store and Amazon it is a one-time $4.99 purchase with no subscription and no in-app purchases. No ads on any platform, and each store sets the local equivalent price in other countries.

What's the difference between SafePulse and PulseGuard?

They're the same app under two names. It's published as SafePulse on Google Play, the Samsung Galaxy Store, and Huawei AppGallery, and as PulseGuard on the Amazon Appstore. Only the store name differs — the features are identical.

Which phones and tablets does SafePulse work on?

SafePulse runs on iPhone through the Apple App Store, on Android phones and tablets through Google Play, the Samsung Galaxy Store, and Huawei AppGallery, and on Amazon Fire tablets as PulseGuard. A Fire tablet on the nightstand makes a good check-in device for an older relative.

Who uses a check-in app like this?

People who live alone, seniors who want to stay independent without wearing a pendant, night-shift and lone workers, rideshare and delivery drivers, solo hikers and runners, and family members who want to know a loved one is okay without having to call every day.

Can SafePulse call for help in an emergency?

SafePulse alerts the emergency contacts you've added, but it does not contact emergency services. One tap on the SOS button reaches everyone on your list with your location, and it can automatically dial your first contact. If you're in immediate danger, call your local emergency number.

Get the app

The app is published as SafePulse on Google Play, the Samsung Galaxy Store, and Huawei AppGallery, and as PulseGuard on the Amazon Appstore for Fire tablets — a Fire tablet on the nightstand makes a great check-in device for a loved one. On iPhone, it is on the Apple App Store as SafePulse: Check-In Alert.

Already installed it? Follow the step-by-step setup guide to turn on check-ins and invite your emergency contacts.

Know someone who is often alone?

Nobody goes looking for a check-in app until something happens. People find out about SafePulse because someone who cares about them sent it over — a parent living alone, a partner who works late, a friend who runs after dark.
