A while back I hiked an active volcano alone and realized nobody would have known for days if something went wrong. So I built an app called If You Read This.
You check in just by opening it. If you don't, it reminds you before your deadline, then texts the people you picked a message you wrote ahead of time.
Nobody has to press a button when something goes wrong, and it reminds you before your deadline.
Opening the app as the check-in keeps that interaction simple. A clear next deadline, including its time zone, would be especially useful for the solo travel situation that led you to build it.
