Someone will know if you're OK
and when you go quiet.

That fear is exactly why Still Kicking exists. You check in once a day with one tap. If you stop — because you've had a fall, a medical event, or worse — we notice within hours and alert the people you've chosen, giving them your address and a ready-to-use script to request a police welfare check. You're no longer relying on someone happening to notice.

You can list your pets and their care needs (food, medication, vet, temperament) when you sign up. If you go silent, that information goes straight to your emergency contacts so someone can step in and care for your animals quickly — not days later. We also link Australian pet-bequest and emergency-custody programs on our resources page for longer-term arrangements.

Yes — that's what Still Kicking does. It's a daily check-in service for people living alone in Australia. You confirm you're OK once a day; if you don't, we escalate to your nominated contacts and help them arrange a welfare check. It's free to start, with an optional SMS tier.

Set up a daily check-in. With Still Kicking you tap one link a day to say you're OK. Miss your window and we send reminders, then contact the emergency contacts you nominated with everything they need to act — your address, who depends on you, and the local non-emergency police number with a pre-filled welfare-check script.

Still Kicking is an Australian wellness check-in service for people who live alone. You check in once a day with a single tap; if you stop checking in, we contact your nominated emergency contacts and help them arrange a welfare check with the local non-emergency police line.

We send you a daily email — and optionally an SMS, if you're on the SMS tier — with a one-tap "I'm still kicking" link. Tap it, and you're sorted for the day. If you don't check in within your chosen window (default 24 hours), we send you an urgent reminder. If you still don't respond, we escalate to your emergency contacts.

After your check-in window passes, we send an urgent warning. If silence continues, we email and optionally SMS your nominated emergency contacts — sharing your address, anyone who depends on you, and a pre-filled script for requesting a police welfare check via the non-emergency line (131 444 in most Australian states). They never have to figure out what to say or who to call.

Yes — the email-only tier is free forever. The SMS tier (daily reminders by text plus SMS escalation alerts to your contacts) is around $8 per month. You can cancel any time from your dashboard. We don't charge to add emergency contacts, store final messages, or pause your account.

We have a guide for finding community options — neighbourhood watch coordinators, local council welfare programs, and faith-community contact registers — so you can build a safety net even without close family. Otherwise, please contact us and we'll see what we can do for you.

Yes. Final messages can be set to release in two ways: on admin-verified death, or after a configurable period of no check-ins (e.g. 30 days). Messages are encrypted at rest with libsodium and only decrypted at the moment of delivery. They're not visible to admins prior to release.

Yes. Pause for a fixed period with auto-resume on a chosen date, or pause indefinitely. While paused, no daily reminders are sent and no escalation fires. Just check in or click resume to come back.

Yes. We comply with the Australian Privacy Principles. Email bodies and final messages are encrypted at rest. We don't share data with anyone except your nominated emergency contacts, and only during an actual escalation. You can delete your account at any time — we erase your personal information and keep only a limited deletion record and a minimal audit trail (timestamps and event types) required for compliance under Australian law.

No. Still Kicking is not a substitute for emergency services. If you are in immediate danger, call 000. What we do is bridge the gap between everyday and emergency — making sure someone knows when something is wrong, so help can reach you faster than it otherwise would.

People who live alone in Australia and want a low-effort safety net — older adults living independently, people with chronic health conditions, anyone in a rural or remote area, and anyone who simply wants peace of mind that their absence would be noticed.

Medical alarms are reactive — you press a button when something is wrong. Still Kicking is proactive — your daily silence is itself the signal, even if you can't reach a button. They complement each other: a medical alarm covers acute incidents (a fall, a heart attack), and Still Kicking covers slower-onset incidents (illness, accident, mental-health crisis) where you might not be able to call for help yourself.
