Dead Man's Switch

The idea is great! It's a very simple and effective solution for people who live alone and want to make sure other people would know if something strange happened. Not touching the phone in X hours is something strange. I tested the phone call and the SMS text and they both worked. Just make sure the phone number doesn't include +(country code).

Movement detection seems to work well. I wish I was able to set multiple numbers for sms however, it only allows a single number which isn't ideal. 2-3 would be nice but you can always use a forwarding service. Notable battery drain. Lots of engrish as author seems to be German but it's easy enough to understand. Good peace of mind for my eventual passing. 4/5 purely due to only allowing one number. I'd also like an option to send an email to a small list of addresses. Otherwise great app!

One thing to note, if you activate the vibrate feature, which it defaults to being active then the vibration of your phone will flip the switch, suggesting you aren't dead. Need to turn this off. How long have I been looking for this exact thing! finally found the right combination of words to find this app. I work alone a lot and do dangerous things while working alone. All other similar apps I have found are for a company with "lone workers". this one is for personal use, thank you thank you!
