Why we built this

Two years ago I almost lost my mom, because no one knew she needed help.

She had been badly sick for over a week. She could barely move. She didn't call anyone, because she didn't want to be a bother. By the time I found her, she was in stage-4 kidney failure and fighting three infections at once. Three weeks in a hospital isolation ward. The road back was long, and it was never quite complete.

If we had used one simple habit, a daily I'm okay, I would have known to check on her days sooner. She would not have gotten so sick.

Not Dead Yet! is the system we should have had then. Now you can have it before you need it.

Two hands held gently, connection and care between generations

How it works

One tap. Every day. Everyone stays in the loop.

Set your schedule

Pick daily, every 2 days, or every 3 days. Add up to 8 trusted contacts. These are the people who get alerted if you go quiet.

Tap to check in

Open the app. Tap the big green button. That's it: I'm here. I'm okay today. Ten seconds. The app reminds you so you never forget.

Your people get told if you miss

Miss a check-in? Your trusted contacts get an alert right away. Now they can check on you early, before a small problem becomes a big one.

Features

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Daily Check-Ins

A quick tap once a day, or set your own interval. The app reminds you so you never miss one.

Automatic Alerts

Miss a check-in and your trusted contacts get an automatic text or email. No extra step for you.

Trusted Contacts

Add up to 8 people who watch for your check-ins. You can watch for the people you care about, too.

Privacy First

Your data is yours. Nothing is sold or shared. Only the people you invite can see anything about you. No cameras. No tracking.

Flexible Scheduling

Check in daily, every 2 days, or every 3 days. Going on a trip? Pause your schedule so no one worries for no reason.

Optional Location Sharing

Choose to share your location with trusted contacts when you check in. Or keep it off. Entirely your call.

Who it's for

If any of these sounds like your life, this app is for you.

You live alone.

You have people who care about you. But no one would know within a day if something happened. This is your safety net.

You have an aging parent who won't ask for help.

You call. They don't always pick up. Not Dead Yet! gives you a quiet daily answer, and nobody has to ask.

You have adult kids, or kids away at college.

They only call when they need something. One look at Not Dead Yet! and the worry is gone, without crowding their independence.

You're the person someone else worries about.

Your family doesn't say it out loud, but you know they think about it. Give them a daily answer, and skip the awkward check-in calls.

You're a caregiver, paid or not.

Right now, the job of knowing someone is okay lives entirely in your head. It doesn't have to.

What people are saying

Real people. One less thing to worry about.

“This app is exactly what I need for my dad. He's still independent, but I don't always have time to call him. This would help me know he's okay.”

– Ben B.

“If something happens to me and I can't get to my phone, at least someone will know within 24 hours. What a great idea!”

– Sally T.

“I've set up mum as my backup. Since I moved halfway around the world we don't talk every day. This way she gets notified if I miss my daily tap. It's just what we needed.”

– Rima S.

Two years ago my mom suffered alone for a week.

Now she taps her button every morning. If she doesn't, I know about it and I can check on her the same day, before things get bad. That's all this is.

A daily tap that says I'm here. And for you and everyone who loves you, the quiet relief of knowing someone is paying attention. No hardware to buy. It runs on the phone you already carry.

FAQ

Honest answers to the questions you're probably asking.

When your check-in time passes without a tap, Not Dead Yet! sends a push notification, text, or email (your choice) to each of your trusted contacts. Then they can reach out to you directly.

You can pause your check-ins any time: a trip, a hospital stay, or any stretch when you don't want alerts going out. Resume whenever you're ready. Your trusted contacts get nothing while you're paused.

Yes. Not Dead Yet! runs on secure infrastructure in US data centers. The information you share is only used to run the app. We never sell your data. No cameras, no tracking, no one but the people you invite.

Yes. You check in for yourself, and your trusted contacts check in for themselves. If anyone goes quiet, their people get alerted. So your mom checks in and you're alerted if she doesn't. Check in yourself too, and she gets that same reassurance about you.

Not Dead Yet! is free to download, and the free tier covers the basics: your daily check-in and your first trusted contacts. No monthly fee.

If you'd rather pay one time and never think about it again, Charter Member lifetime access is a limited launch offer: $99 for one person or $179 for a family of four, paid once, yours for life. Limited Charter memberships being offered.
