## Dead Man's Switch Description
Dead Man's Switch checks that you're OK. Choose how often you'll check in, anywhere from once a day to once a year. Miss your deadline and your phone reminds you. Still no check-in after the grace window, and the people you chose get an email with the message you wrote.

It's for anyone who lives alone, hikes or travels solo, has a health condition, or wants the people who care about them to know if something is wrong.

CHECK IN WITH ONE TAP
• From the app, a widget, a notification, Siri, Control Center or the Action Button
• On Apple Watch: see the time left on your watch face and check in from your wrist
• A live countdown shows exactly how long you have, down to the second
• Every check-in is confirmed by our server, so what you see is what will happen
• Every day by a set time: pick a time, say 9 PM, and that's your deadline every day. Checking in early doesn't move it

KNOW WHAT HAPPENS, AND WHEN
• See when your contacts would be emailed, and who
• Reminders every day and before your deadline
• A grace window before anyone is emailed
• Send a test email so your contacts know what to expect
• If you check in after an alert went out, your contacts get an "all clear" email

YOUR MESSAGE, YOUR PEOPLE
• Write one message for everyone, or a personal one for each person
• Your contacts don't need the app. They just get an email
• When you add someone, they get one short heads-up email from us, so a real alert is never a surprise (you can switch it off)

TEXT ALERTS (US AND CANADA)
• Your contacts can get a text as well as the email, once they say yes with one tap
• Texts come in small packs. Emails are always free

AWAY MODE
• Going somewhere without signal? Pick the day you're back, and nobody is emailed before then

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account to create
• No location tracking

Available in English, Spanish, German, Polish, French, Italian and Dutch.

Dead Man's Switch is not an emergency service and does not contact emergency services. If you are in danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.
