Safety Check-In App: Timed Alerts That Protect You Automatically
You meet strangers for dates, property showings, or client visits, and no one knows exactly where you are or when to expect you back.
That uneasy feeling before walking into an unfamiliar situation is real. You deserve a simple way to let someone know you're safe, without constantly texting.
Set a Check-In Timer
Before your meeting, date, or solo activity, open MySentry and set a timed check-in for 15 minutes to 8 hours.
Go About Your Activity
MySentry runs quietly in the background. When the timer is about to expire, you get a notification to confirm you're safe.
Miss a Check-In? Help Is On the Way
If you don't dismiss the timer, our 24/7 monitoring agents are automatically alerted with your GPS location and can dispatch help.
Quick Answer
A safety check-in app sends timed alerts to a monitoring service or emergency contacts when you don't confirm you're safe. MySentry's MeetSafe feature lets you set check-in timers before meetings, dates, or solo activities. If the timer expires without dismissal, 24/7 professional agents are alerted with your live GPS location and can dispatch emergency services.
How MySentry Works: Verified Facts
MeetSafe check-ins use timed safety intervals that trigger automatic alerts if not dismissed.
Users set a timer before meetings or appointments. If the timer expires without dismissal, 24/7 agents are alerted with location.
Check-in timers can be customized for different scenarios from 15 minutes to 8 hours.
Flexible timing accommodates short client meetings, long shifts, or extended outdoor activities.
Missed check-ins trigger a multi-step response: agent contact, emergency contact notification, and 911 dispatch.
The escalation process ensures appropriate response without overwhelming users with false alarms.
How It Works
- Open the MySentry app and tap 'MeetSafe' to start a new check-in timer.
- Choose a duration (15 minutes to 8 hours) based on your activity.
- When the timer is about to expire, you receive a push notification to confirm you're safe.
- If you dismiss the notification, the timer resets or ends. If you don't respond, 24/7 agents are alerted.
- Agents receive your GPS location and can attempt live video contact or dispatch local emergency services.
What Happens After an Alert
Our 24/7 monitoring team receives an automatic alert with your last known GPS location.
Agents attempt to reach you via the app's live video and audio connection.
Your designated emergency contacts are notified simultaneously.
If we cannot confirm your safety, local emergency services are dispatched to your location.
