Going out alone? Someone will know if you don't come back

A hike, a late shift, a solo commute, a trip. Arm a check-in before you go; miss it, and the people you chose are alerted with your last known position.

Alone is fine. Unaccounted for is the problem.

Plenty of people go out on their own and should. The risk is not the solitude; it is that nobody is expecting you back at a particular time, so nobody starts wondering until much later. A check-in gives someone a time to expect you, and tells them the moment you miss it.

When nobody else would know

In each of these, how it ends depends on how long it takes someone to notice.

A hike on your own

A trail you know, a loop you have done before. A slip on the way down turns into a night out if nobody knows you went, and which way.

Working late, or alone on site

The last one in the building, a job out of town, a client visit on your own. Arm it for when you expect to be done.

A long drive or a solo commute

Arm it for your arrival time and clear it when you pull in. Go off the road on an empty stretch, and the people you chose know where the car last was.

Travelling alone

A new city, a first date, an early flight. A daily check-in means someone back home hears the first morning you do not clear it.

How AlertRoster covers it

  1. 1

    Arm a check-in before you go

    Pick when you expect to be back, add where you are headed, and arm it. One tap clears it. Taking longer than you thought? Extend it.

  2. 2

    Miss it, and the people you chose are alerted

    Your roster is whoever you pick: a partner, a friend, a sibling in another city. On Solo they watch at no charge. If the first person does not acknowledge, AlertRoster moves to the next, and pages again each time an acknowledgement window runs out.

  3. 3

    They get a map, not a guess

    With location on for the check-in, they see your last known position and your trail on a map, with the time of each point, updating until the incident is closed. It is shared only for the check-in, and only when you turn it on.

  4. 4

    Beyond coverage

    The deadline runs on our servers, not your phone, so if you cannot reach the app to clear it, the miss is raised exactly as though you forgot. Pair a Garmin inReach, and with automatic SOS turned on, a missed check-in while your phone has no signal declares an SOS on the inReach, which Garmin Response receives under your Garmin plan.
