Living alone can be a wonderful thing. It can mean independence, privacy, and doing life your own way.
But it can also mean something uncomfortable that we don’t talk about enough: if something goes wrong, there may be no one to notice straight away.
In Australia, more than 2.4 million people live alone — by choice, by circumstance, or somewhere in between. And while many of us have friends, family or neighbours who care deeply, there’s often no regular check-in system built into everyday life.
That gap is exactly why Solo Alert exists.
The quiet risk of living alone
Accidents and medical emergencies don’t schedule themselves.
– A fall.
– A sudden illness.
– A missed dose of medication.
– A moment where you simply can’t reach your phone.
When you live alone, delayed discovery can be the difference between a scare and a tragedy. Not because anyone failed you — but because no one knew.
Solo Alert doesn’t try to predict emergencies. It simply makes sure that not being okay doesn’t go unnoticed.
A simple solution that fits into real life
Solo Alert is a simple daily check-in app designed for people who live alone. You set up completely customisable check-ins – often linked to something you already do, like meals or medication.
It takes seconds. If you check in, nothing happens. No alerts. No monitoring. No interruptions.
If you don’t check in, that’s when your chosen safety circle is quietly notified to check on you. That’s it.
Independence always comes first
One of the most important principles behind Solo Alert is dignity.
– There are no wearables
– No extra gadgets
– No cameras
– No one watching you
Just your phone, working quietly in the background.
Your friends and family only hear from Solo Alert if you don’t check in. Until then, your independence is fully respected.
As we like to say: The magic is that nothing happens — unless you miss a check-in.
Reassurance for the people who care about you
Solo Alert isn’t just for the person checking in. It’s also for the people who love them.
Knowing there’s a simple safety net in place can ease anxiety for adult children, partners, friends, and carers — without daily “are you okay?” messages that can feel intrusive or burdensome.
It’s reassurance, without hovering. Easy to start. Easy to live with.
Solo Alert is quick to set up, easy to use, and designed to blend into everyday life.
Works quietly in the background
No technical complexity. Designed for real humans, not tech experts.
And it’s affordable! 60-day free trial, and after that it costs less than $1 per week — because peace of mind shouldn’t be expensive.
A safety net that doesn’t take anything away
Living alone shouldn’t mean living unprotected. And having a safety net shouldn’t mean giving up independence.
Solo Alert exists to hold that balance — quietly, respectfully, and only when it matters.
A simple way to stay supported while living independently
Solo Alert is a simple check-in app designed for people who live alone or anyone who wants reassurance that someone will notice if they don’t check in.
You choose your check-in times. If you check in, nothing happens. If you miss one, your trusted contacts are notified.
