Snug is the free daily check-in app for seniors who live alone. Snug checks in with you every day to confirm you’re okay and if there is no response, alerts your emergency contacts so you can quickly get help (and your pets will be taken care of too). Snug has been used by thousands of Americans for over 10 million check ins.

From the Snug web site:
"I
thought you'd like to hear how Snug was created. It all starts with an amazing
woman named Jan.
Jan isn't your typical retiree. She's biked in all 50 states and runs her own
walking group (and walks 6 miles per day!) where she lives in The Villages,
Florida. She's a tech wiz who loves her iPhone and Apple Watch, and even
teaches classes to help other retirees learn how to use their
smartphones.
Jan is in excellent spirits, but shares many of the same concerns that other
single retirees have. Living alone, with a health condition, she worries about
what might happen if she has a medical emergency. Because of her heart
condition, and a history of seizures, it's possible that she might not be able
to call for help. It might be multiple days before anyone notices – by the
time help arrives, it may be too late. Jan decided to take things into her
own hands by reaching out to the creators of another app she used, called
Patronus. She got on the phone with the CEO, Preet, to share her problem, and
her idea: she needed an app that would check in on her every morning, and call
for help if she didn't check in.
This got some wheels turning. Within the next week, Preet sent Jan some ideas
for a new service specifically designed to solve her problem. ..”
