FAQ

Asked a lot.

Honest answers, no marketing fog.

Check in from any browser — your account lives on our servers, not your phone. And if you truly can't check in, that's exactly when your people should hear from you.

Only if you ignore it for a while. There's a grace period after your timer ends, then warnings by email and text — each with a one-tap "I'm alive" link that works without the app. If you stop checking in entirely, your watch will eventually run its course — that's the point — but it always warns you first, and cancelling your plan pauses it cleanly.

No. On the website, we capture your location when you check in or start a timer, and it's attached to alerts — no location history to browse. The upcoming mobile app can keep your position fresh in the background, only ever with your permission, so alerts carry your latest location.

First, a heads-up when you add them, explaining AllGood and how to opt out. If an alert ever triggers, they get your pre-written note (watch mode) or a safety alert with your last known location and a map link. Every message tells them to call you first — silence has harmless explanations.

For example, if your 3-hour "Friend's house" safety timer expires, your sister gets a text like: "AllGood SAFETY ALERT: Ankit missed a safety check-in (Friend's house). Please try reaching them now. Last location: [map link]" — plus an email with the same details.

Every warning includes a one-tap "I'm alive" link. Tapping it checks you in instantly — no login needed, works in any browser. One tap and the whole alert sequence stops.

Your sleep window. If a watch-mode check-in would come due overnight, it rolls to the morning — no 2am warnings. Safety timers and the panic button always work immediately, day or night.

No — they're opted in by default the moment you add them. They immediately get a heads-up explaining AllGood and how to opt out (one tap, or reply STOP to texts), but there's no accept button to wait on. If someone doesn't want the role, opting out takes seconds.

Yes. Their badge in your People tab changes from "opted in" to "opted out", so you'll always know exactly who would actually hear from you. No quiet surprises.

No. They just get emails or texts. They can opt out anytime with one tap, and alerts only ever go to people who stayed opted in.

Women walking home at night. Night-shift workers. Solo hikers and runners. Rideshare and delivery drivers. Students out late. Solo travelers. Real estate agents showing homes alone. Aging parents and grandparents living independently. Anyone whose people would worry if they went quiet.

Live location shows where you are — but someone has to be watching the dot. AllGood watches the rhythm instead: it only speaks up when you go quiet past the point you set, and it delivers your words, not just coordinates.

It opens an emergency dialog with two options: alert all your opted-in contacts immediately with your current location, or call 911 directly. It works even if you haven't added any contacts yet — the 911 option is always there.

Yes. The panic button offers a one-tap 911 call (US). In a life-threatening emergency, calling directly is always faster than alerting contacts — that's why it's right there in the dialog.

It depends on which one. Safety timers have no grace period — when the timer ends, your contacts are alerted within about 15 minutes, so set timers with margin. Watch mode gives you a grace period first (default 48 hours, adjustable from 1 to 72): you get warnings with a one-tap "I'm alive" link, and only if the whole grace period passes silent do your notes go out. Panic is immediate.

First, your grace period starts and you get warnings — each with a one-tap "I'm alive" link that stops everything. Only if the grace period expires with no check-in do your opted-in contacts get alerted: your pre-written note in watch mode, or a safety alert with your last location for timers and panic.

No. Everything runs on our servers. Close the tab, turn off your phone — your watch keeps running. Check in from any browser when it's time.

Check-ins need a connection, so plan for it: set your timer to cover the offline stretch plus margin, and tell your contacts your plan. The timer is the safety net for exactly this.

Yes. Every message has its own recipient list — one note for your partner, another for your mom, another for your best friend. Say the right thing to the right person.

Not yet — the website works in any mobile browser today, and that's the full experience. A native app with background location and push reminders is on the way.

AllGood watches the person who sets it up — so your dad would create his own account and add you as his contact. It's built around self check-ins, not tracking someone else. For an aging parent living alone, it's the difference between a welfare check that depends on luck and one that doesn't.

Never. No ads, no data brokers, no selling anything. Your messages and contacts exist for one purpose: reaching your people if you go silent. Read the full privacy policy.

Free covers the essentials: email alerts, one recipient, one active safety timer. Plus ($1/month or $10/year) adds text-message alerts, unlimited recipients, and unlimited timers. The check-in engine itself is identical on both.

Your watch pauses — it never triggers. Your messages and contacts stay put, and resubscribing turns everything back on.
