Features

Everything you need,
nothing you don’t

Pulse is intentionally minimal. Every feature exists to keep you safe without intruding on your life.

Core Feature

Daily Check‑In

One tap. That’s all it takes. Every day at your chosen time, Pulse sends a gentle reminder. Tap to confirm you’re okay. Miss it and Pulse begins a thoughtful escalation — never abrupt, always respectful.

  • Customisable check-in time
  • Configurable grace period
  • Streak tracking for consistency
  • Widget support for instant access

Reminders, not alarms

If you miss your check-in, Pulse sends up to two gentle reminders before contacting anyone. You stay in control.

Your schedule, your rules

Night owl or early riser — set your check-in window to match your routine.

Safety Net

Smart Escalation

Most safety apps go straight to panic mode. Pulse takes a measured approach: reminder → second reminder → contact notification. Each step gives you time to respond before anyone else is involved.

  • Three-step escalation ladder
  • Configurable days-threshold
  • Contacts notified only when needed
  • Real-time status visible to you

Transparent timeline

See exactly when each escalation step will trigger. Pause or reset any time before contacts are notified.

No false alarms

Grace periods and reminders mean your contacts won’t hear from Pulse unless something is genuinely off.

Your Circle

Emergency Contacts

Add up to three trusted people. They receive an email invitation, confirm their role, and only hear from Pulse if your check-in escalation completes without response. No tracking. No app required for them.

  • Up to 3 trusted contacts
  • Email-based — no app needed for contacts
  • Confirmation flow for consent
  • Contacts can remove themselves

Consent-first

Contacts must explicitly accept their role. They can opt out at any time.

Email, not surveillance

Contacts receive a single notification email — never real-time tracking data.

Peace of Mind

Sealed Messages

Write a message that stays sealed until your contacts are notified. Passwords, instructions, last words — whatever gives you peace of mind. Only delivered if it matters.

  • Compose and seal from the app
  • Delivered only during escalation
  • Edit or delete any time before delivery
  • Per-contact messaging

Your words, your timing

Write when you’re ready. Edit whenever you want. Delete if you change your mind. Delivered only when it truly matters.

Not a will — a safety message

Share account details, medical info, or simply say “I love you”.

Self-Awareness

Wellness Journal

Log your daily mood alongside your check-in. Over time, see patterns and trends that help you understand your well-being. Private by default — never shared with contacts.

  • Quick mood selection during check-in
  • Trend visualisation over time
  • Completely private to you
  • Optional journal notes

Check in with yourself

A daily nudge to pause and reflect. Safety and self-awareness in one ritual.

Patterns, not judgement

See your mood history as a gentle chart — spot trends, celebrate good days.
