ruok

Your worry-free safety companion.

ruok quietly monitors your phone's movement in the background. If it detects you haven't moved for an extended period, it sends you a check-in notification. No response? A full-screen alarm gives you 60 seconds to confirm you're okay. Still nothing? Your trusted contacts are instantly alerted.

No GPS. No location tracking. Just smart sensor-based activity detection that respects your privacy.

How it works:
1. RUOK runs silently in the background, using your phone's built-in sensors to detect movement.
2. If no activity is detected for about an hour, you receive a check-in notification.
3. If you don't respond, an emergency alarm sounds — even over silent mode and on your lock screen.
4. After a 60-second countdown, your trusted contacts (trustees) receive an instant alert with your details.

Key features:
- Always-on background monitoring — works even when your phone is locked or the app is closed
- Smart movement detection using magnetometer and rotation sensors — no GPS, no battery drain
- Full-screen emergency alert that overrides silent mode and appears over your lock screen
- Instant push notifications to your trusted contacts when you need help
- Configurable sleep schedule — monitoring pauses while you rest
- Manual "I'm OK" check-in button for quick reassurance
- Care network with flexible roles — set up family groups, caregiver arrangements, couples, or solo with backup contacts
- Battery-efficient design optimized for all-day monitoring

Perfect for:
- Elderly parents living independently
- Solo hikers, runners, or travelers
- People with medical conditions
- Anyone who wants a safety net without constant check-in calls
- Families who want peace of mind without being intrusive

Privacy first:
RUOK does not track your location. It only monitors whether your device is moving. Your safety data stays between you and your trusted contacts.
