Safety Checkpoint is an automated emergency communication system that delivers a pre-written, encrypted alert package (text, audio, documents, links, credentials) to trusted contacts when a user misses a scheduled check-in, available as a web app and iOS app with a free tier.
What is Safety Checkpoint?
Safety Checkpoint is a personal safety monitoring platform that automates emergency alerts when you can’t send them yourself. You configure a check-in schedule (recurring, heartbeat, or location verification) and prepare an encrypted message. If you miss the confirmation window, the alert package is automatically delivered to your chosen contacts via email, SMS, or audio message. The service works on web browsers and iOS devices; no special hardware is required.
Key Features
- Three protocol modes — Recurring check-in (set a fixed interval), heartbeat (continuous monitoring), and location verification (optional geolocation attached only when enabled).
- Encrypted alert payload — End-to-end encryption for text, audio recordings, documents, links, and credentials; contacts receive the full context only when a check-in is missed.
- Contact timeline view — Trusted contacts see a live countdown, protocol status, and next-step guidance, including escalation chains if multiple contacts are assigned.
- Statement builder — An if/do interface to configure timing, select contacts (with roles like Partner, Doctor, Lawyer), and attach encrypted files before the protocol starts.
- Real-time contact tracking — Contacts can receive launch alerts and a live tracking page to monitor your protocol’s countdown (optional, user-controlled).
Who is it for?
- Activists and protesters — Share critical information (legal contacts, encrypted instructions) in sensitive public situations with no manual action at the moment of danger.
- Solo travelers and digital nomads — Deliver location and emergency context to family or friends when you do not check in as expected while backpacking or working abroad.
- Seniors and people living alone — Set a daily heartbeat protocol; if confirmation is missed, pre-written messages automatically alert doctors, relatives, or neighbors.
What can you do with Safety Checkpoint?
- High-risk public situations: An activist sets a recurring check-in every 30 minutes during a protest. If they miss one, their pre-encrypted message (containing legal aid contacts and dismissal instructions) is sent to their lawyer and partner.
- Solo travel safety: A backpacker in a remote area configures a daily location-verified check-in. If they fail to confirm, their family receives the emergency package with GPS coordinates and next actions.
- Everyday missed check-in: An elderly person living alone uses the heartbeat protocol each morning. If they don’t confirm by 10 AM, their adult child and doctor receive a timeline view with notes on medications and emergency contacts.
How does Safety Checkpoint work?
- Create a protocol — Choose a recurring or one-shot check-in, set the deadline, and pick a confirmation method (web click, mobile tap).
- Prepare an encrypted message — Write text, attach audio, documents, links, or credentials. Optionally enable geolocation.
- Assign trusted contacts — Select recipients (e.g., Partner, Doctor, Lawyer) and set an escalation order if the first contact doesn’t respond.
- Missed check-in triggers delivery — When you don’t confirm, contacts receive a timeline page showing the alert, countdown history, and next-step guidance.
