Am I Dead? – Daily Check-In

BetaDAO

About this app

Am I Dead? is a lightweight daily check-in app designed for people who live alone.

It allows users to confirm their presence once per day and provides quiet reassurance to a trusted contact if they become inactive.

⸻

Who this app is for

This app is commonly used by:
• People living alone
• Independent seniors
• Remote workers
• Individuals whose family members live far away

It is designed to be simple, calm, and unobtrusive.

⸻

How it works

Using the app is intentionally simple:
1. Open the app
2. Tap Check in
3. Close the app

If no check-in is detected for 48 hours, the app automatically sends a calm, factual email to a designated emergency contact, suggesting they check in.

Emails are sent once per day for up to three days, and stop immediately when the user checks in again.

Important limitations

This app:

• Is not a medical, safety, or emergency service
• Cannot determine what has happened to a user
• Only detects inactivity based on manual check-ins

• No activity monitoring
• No ads

Only the minimum information required for core functionality is stored.

A quiet safeguard

Am I Dead? is not meant to be used actively or frequently.
It exists to provide reassurance — just in case.
