Is this an emergency service?
No. LastMemo does not contact police, ambulance or rescue services. It emails the people you chose. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
What if I lose signal?
The timer runs on our servers, not your phone, so it keeps counting even when your phone is off. If you know you'll be out of range, set a longer timer or mention it in your note. You'll need a connection to tap “I'm safe”.
Do my contacts need the app?
No. They only need an email address. They confirm once, and can opt out from any email we send them.
What if I check in late?
Tap “I'm safe” as soon as you can. Everyone who received an alert gets an automatic all-clear email.
Which countries does it work in?
All of them. Alerts go by email, which works everywhere, instead of SMS or calls that differ by country.
Who can read my Last Memo?
Only the contact you wrote it for, and only if you stop checking in. Memos are stored in an encrypted database and are never shown to anyone else.
What is Words Left Behind?
An optional public message, separate from your private memos. It is only published if your LastMemo fires, after a 7-day wait, and only once a person on our team has read and approved it. If you check in again, it is taken down. You can edit or delete it in the app at any time.
Which languages does the app speak?
English, ไทย, 中文, العربية, فارسی, Українська, Русский, မြန်မာ, Français and Español. You can switch in Settings. Your memos can be written in any language.
