AmbientPal
AmbientPal
A well-being check-in app for people living alone. Just react to one daily notification. If you ever don't respond, your registered family and friends (Safety Pals) are contacted automatically.
If no one heard from you for three days —
would anyone notice and check on you?
The "what ifs" of living alone aren't just a concern for the elderly. AmbientPal quietly watches over your days and does the noticing for you.
Add the family and friends you'd want contacted in an emergency — all it takes is an email address. They don't need to install anything.
Answer the daily notification with a single tap. You'll get a small question about your mood or how you're doing today.
If you don't respond, you'll get a few reminders. If there's still no response, your Safety Pals receive a check-in request email that same day.
You can answer straight from the notification, so keeping it up takes no willpower. Each day brings one small question about sleep, meals, mood, and more.
Your Safety Pals are only contacted when there's real cause for concern, after about four hours of gradual follow-ups. Once you're confirmed safe, an "all clear" email goes out automatically.
All your Safety Pals ever learn is that you didn't respond. Your daily answers are never shared, and no location data is collected.
Your reactions add up to a biorhythm-style chart, letting you gently look back on how you've been doing.
AmbientPal automatically sends thank-you emails to your Safety Pals (weekly or monthly — your choice), so the care never feels one-sided.
Traveling or in the hospital? Away Mode pauses monitoring for the period you set, then resumes automatically. It bends to your life, so it's easy to keep going.
A built-in test walks through the real thing — from the daily notification to the Safety Pal email — so you can trust the system before you rely on it.
Try it free for 30 days.
After that, AmbientPal is a monthly subscription (pricing is shown in the App Store). Your subscription renews automatically after the trial, and you can cancel anytime.
