About this app

Your worry-free safety companion.

ruok quietly monitors your phone's movement in the background. If it detects you haven't moved for an extended period, it sends you a check-in notification. No response? A full-screen alarm gives you 60 seconds to confirm you're okay. Still nothing? Your trusted contacts are instantly alerted.

No GPS. No location tracking. Just smart sensor-based activity detection that respects your privacy.

How it works:
1. RUOK runs silently in the background, using your phone's built-in sensors to detect movement.
2. If no activity is detected for about an hour, you receive a check-in notification.
3. If you don't respond, an emergency alarm sounds — even over silent mode and on your lock screen.
4. After a 60-second countdown, your trusted contacts (trustees) receive an instant alert with your details.

Key features:
- Always-on background monitoring — works even when your phone is locked or the app is closed
- Smart movement detection using magnetometer and rotation sensors — no GPS, no battery drain
- Full-screen emergency alert that overrides silent mode and appears over your lock screen
- Instant push notifications to your trusted contacts when you need help
- Configurable sleep schedule — monitoring pauses while you rest
- Manual "I'm OK" check-in button for quick reassurance
- Care network with flexible roles — set up family groups, caregiver arrangements, couples, or solo with backup contacts
- Battery-efficient design optimized for all-day monitoring

Perfect for:
- Elderly parents living independently
- Solo hikers, runners, or travelers
- People with medical conditions
- Anyone who wants a safety net without constant check-in calls
- Families who want peace of mind without being intrusive

Privacy first:
RUOK does not track your location. It only monitors whether your device is moving. Your safety data stays between you and your trusted contacts.

Set it up in minutes. Add your trusted contacts. Let ruok watch over you — so the people who care about you don't have to worry.
