Plan what happens if something happens to you: the app that calls for help when you can’t
« I really appreciate the focus on privacy and encryption – personal safety without sacrificing anonymity is a big win. »

In a few words
What happens if you can’t answer? Tribe Check is a personal safety companion: the app checks in on you and warns your tribe in case something has happened to you.
Have you ever sent a message to your mom or friends asking to check in on you in a short while, because you were feeling vulnerable? Leaving a party late at night for example, or worrying something might happen to you?
Have you ever thought about what would happen if something happened to you? How long would it take your loves ones, not only next of kin, but also friend, partner, to realize something’s wrong? In case of an accident, how long it would take before someone takes care of your dog, waiting for you alone at home?
Tribe Check allows you to anticipate and plan your personal safety, and share important information you would like your loved ones to get in case, and only in case, something happens to you (reminder to take care of your pet, contacts of the hotel you are staying at, etc.)
