Start a timer before you head out. Cancel it when you're safe. If it expires without you checking in, your emergency contacts are automatically alerted — no GPS, no tracking.
Lunio's Safety Timer is designed for activities with a defined end time — a solo day hike, a trail run, a late walk home, a drive through somewhere unfamiliar. Set the timer duration before you leave, and cancel it when you're safely back. If the timer expires without you cancelling, your emergency contacts receive automatic email and SMS alerts. No GPS. No location sharing. Just a countdown that someone else inherits if you don't come back.
Combined with Lunio's daily check-in schedule, you get two layers of safety: background protection every day, and active protection for specific outings. Both run independently and simultaneously.
Open Lunio, tap the Timer, and set how long you expect to be out. Add an optional note for your contacts — trailhead name, route, expected return time.
The timer runs in the background. Lunio sends you a push reminder before it expires so you can extend it if you're running late — or cancel it when you're done.
One tap cancels the timer and sends your contacts a confirmation that you're back safely. No alert goes out. No one worries.
If the timer expires without you cancelling, your contacts receive an email alert immediately — followed by SMS on paid plans. Your note and contact details are included.
Set the timer for your expected return time before you hit the trailhead. If you don't come back, your contacts know something is wrong — even if you're out of cell range when it expires.
Walking home after a late shift, taking a night bus alone, or driving back through an unfamiliar route. Start the timer when you leave, cancel it at your door.
Solo rides and runs on quiet roads or trails. Set the timer for your expected duration — your contacts know to start checking if you're overdue.
Meeting someone new in person for the first time? Start a timer. Cancel it when you're safely home. No explanation needed to your contacts — they only hear from the app if something goes wrong.
Driving solo through remote areas, late at night, or in bad weather. Set the timer for your estimated arrival — contacts are alerted if you don't check in.
Kayaking, wild swimming, backcountry skiing, climbing — any activity where the risk is isolation. Timer + daily check-in gives you two layers of passive protection.
The Timer works alongside your regular daily check-in schedule — not instead of it. Together they cover both everyday background safety and specific outings.
Runs in the background every day. One tap to confirm you're okay. Misses trigger automatic email and SMS alerts to your contacts. The safety net that never switches off.
Activated manually for specific outings. You set the duration, cancel when you're back. Independent of your daily schedule — both run simultaneously when active.
Safety Timer on all paid plans from €1.99/month. Daily check-ins free forever.
Not an emergency service. Best-effort notifications.
