Cover Your Tail

Scheduled check-ins for everyday life. Confirm you're OK with a tap, and if you don't respond, your trusted team members will get your “just in case” message.

Cover Your Tail is a structured reassurance app designed for everyday life. Set recurring or one-time check-ins on the days and times that work for you. When those times come around, you'll receive a notification, and you’ll confirm it with a simple tap. If you miss the notifications, you’ll get a text with a gentle reminder to confirm that you are OK. You decide how many times you want to be reminded before escalating to that text. If you still don’t confirm your “OK” status after text escalation, your trusted team members (pre-selected and confirmed) will receive the “just in case” message you set up in the app. Whether you're traveling, working late, meeting someone new, heading out for a run, or simply maintaining a routine, Cover Your Tail provides a lightweight way to keep your independence but shed your vulnerability. Features For All Tiers Recurring scheduled check-ins Custom reminder schedules Snooze when plans change Ability to add 1 team member to be contacted if you don’t check in. Trusted team member notifications Custom alert recipient instructions Alerted team coordination module Privacy-focused design User-controlled escalation settings Simple confirmation workflow Furthermore, beyond the free tier with the features listed above, there is also a paid subscription “plus” tier. The features that are only accessible to Plus subscriptions are: Activity-based check-ins for specific events with optional security code Ability to add more than 1 team member, and up to 50.

Cover Your Tail is built around personal independence and structured reassurance. You stay in control of when check-ins occur, who is notified, what they are notified, and how notifications are handled. Cover Your Tail is the antidote to “maybe I should let someone know” or, worse, “I should have let someone know”. You set it and forget it. Then if the moment ever comes when they should know, your people get the message.
