Requirements

Keep Alive requires that your device has an active cellular plan. WiFi calling and messaging will be used if the device supports it.

How it Works

Keep Alive uses either your device's lock screen or another app(s) to detect activity. If your device hasn't been lock or unlocked for a set period of time, or if you haven't accessed the selected app(s), you will be prompted with an 'Are you there?' notification. If this notification is not acknowledged an Alert will be triggered. Based on the configured Emergency Contact Settings, one or more SMS messages and/or a phone call will be placed to notify others that you may be in need of assistance.

WARNING: If your device restarts, Keep Alive will not be able to check for recent activity until the screen is unlocked. On Android 7.0+, Keep Alive can still send an alert before the screen is unlocked but must assume you have been inactive based on its last saved state. On older Android versions, Keep Alive cannot run at all until the screen is unlocked and alerts will not be sent.

- Minutes to Wait - if the prompt is not acknowledged within this time, an Alert will be sent based on the configured emergency contact settings. Defaults to 60 minutes

- Rest Period Time Range - a range of time during which inactivity will not be counted. For example, with 'Hours of Inactivity' set at 6 hours and a Rest Period of 22:00 – 6:00, if the device is last used at 18:00, the 'Are you…
