Alive
Silent safety check-ins—making solo living feel seen
Alive is a lightweight safety status tool for people living alone. Unlike location/social tracking, it’s almost invisible: set a check-in timer and tap once daily; if time runs out or check-ins are missed, it auto emails tiered alerts to your emergency contacts. It’s instant to start (no sign-up), no location, minimal permissions, no irrelevant data. Contacts and logs are encrypted. Customize period, grace, reminder cadence, and quiet hours. Silent when you’re fine, loud when you’re not.

Hi everyone, I’m the maker of Alive. Today we’re launching a “silent safety check-in” tool: set a check-in timer and complete it with a single tap each day; if time runs out or you miss consecutive check-ins, it will automatically email your emergency contacts—based on your tiered settings—with your recent status and a preset message. There’s no sign-up, no location tracking, minimal permissions, and your contacts and check-in logs are encrypted in storage and in transit. We want to strike a balance between being seen and being interrupted, adding an invisible layer of protection when living alone. We’d love your feedback: Are the default check-in interval and grace period sensible? How do the reminder cadence and quiet hours feel? Should we add more notification channels (e.g., SMS/Telegram) or support more devices (watch, widgets, shortcuts)? What other “anomaly” rules would you like to define? Please leave questions, critiques, and suggestions in the comments—we’ll respond promptly. And thank you for sharing it with someone who might need it. We sincerely hope it will always sit quietly on your phone, but speak up for you when it matters most. P.S. To celebrate the launch, we’re giving away 10 free redemption codes. Comment below or DM to get one—first come, first served. H7KLJ76F9JMW A6HMPRKEYRE7 PPERRKTRYNEH EANK733RPFY4 LFYNN679NFFY N69M9KFX3PFY PHEAYLFKM9F7 PHJYXFN47X4W KJMTJNAF67AJ TTHHFATHEXP7

Who hunted Alive?
Alive was hunted by dison. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
