How I'm Back Works
A simple, reliable safety check-in process designed for everyday personal safety, solo travel, and peace of mind.
1. Create a safety check-in & set the timer
Before you begin an activity like walking alone at night, commuting, or meeting someone new, open I'm Back and set a safety timer. Choose how long you expect the activity to take and select which trusted contacts should be notified if something goes wrong.
2. Continue your activity securely
Put your phone in your pocket and live your life. Once started, your check-in is monitored securely in the cloud. Even if your phone loses service, runs out of battery, or is damaged, the safety timer will continue running.
3. Check in when you are safe
When you safely reach your destination or finish your activity, simply open the app and confirm that you are safe before the timer hits zero. The session ends, and no one is alerted. Your privacy is maintained.
4. Automatic emergency alerts if you fail to check in
If the timer expires and you have not confirmed your safety, the I'm Back system assumes you may be in trouble. It automatically initiates the emergency alert process, sending emails to your pre-selected trusted contacts containing your last known status to help them respond quickly.
