One tap a day. Peace of mind for people who live alone.
36 million Americans live alone. Most share the same quiet fear:
"What if something happens and no one notices for days?"
People who live alone don't need another wellness app. They don't need mood tracking, journaling, or AI insights.
They need one thing: someone to know if they go silent.
Still Here is dead simple:
- ✅ One tap per day — Confirm you're okay
- ⏰ 48 hours of silence — Your emergency contact is notified
- 🐾 Pet info included — So they know who needs care
That's it. No complexity. No clutter. Just peace of mind.
