For cryonics members, the app is designed to augment your current standby notification plans.Set it up for yourself or someone else in three easy steps:1. Pick contacts to message.2. Set check-in frequency, e.g. every 4 hours.3. Tell it when to be quiet, e.g. at night, while you sleep.Customize to fit your lifestyle: Check in once a day, or once an hour. All day, or between certain hours - its up to you. There is also an option for the timer to reset automatically when there is activity on the phone to reduce annoyance/hassle.Alarm will vibrate 10 seconds then ring for 5 minutes, and repeat indefinitely. The automated message should be sent out after 10 minutes if you have pressed "No, I need help!", but not yet pressed "yes" or "no".The messages it sends are now customizable. **WARNING**: do not add special characters.

Great start Bi Cyrus Xpugoydpudpydpyxlhclyxot
Great app for cryonics enthusiasts who might be alone or anyone in a potential emergency situation. This app could save your life.
Updated review after 2020 updates: Serves its purpose well enough. Bypasses the phone's silent setting which is good. Vibrates for 10 seconds then rings for 5 minutes, repeats indefinitely. Option to reset timer when you turn your screen off is very convenient. Sends an auto message in 10 minutes (non adjustable time period) if it gets no response. Message is now customizable. You can only set a limited time period during the night to sleep. If you have irregular sleep hours you can set it before bed to +11 hours. Can't set it for certain times in the day rather than every "x" hours. No option to set it to "pause" for a specific time duration, but you can change from every hour to every 4 hours if you'll be around people for a while. Cannot call anyone (like 911); only texts. It does send a google maps link with your GPS location to the contacts.
Can save your life or the life of a loved one. Use it often and recommended to others.
Great App!!
