How It Safeguards Your Life
• Intelligent Activity Monitoring: Tracks routine device usage via lock screen activity or selected everyday apps.

• Precise Location Sharing: Optionally attaches your GPS coordinates to emergency messages so help knows exactly where to go.

Requirements & Operational Guidelines
• Active Network: Requires an active cellular plan or Wi-Fi calling capability to dispatch alerts.
• Device Reboot Behavior: Following a phone restart on Android 7.0+, the app estimates inactivity based on its last saved state until unlocked. Older Android versions require an initial device unlock after restarting to resume monitoring.
• Network Reliance: Alert delivery depends on active carrier service, device battery levels, and software availability.
FAQ
Q: How does the app monitor my activity without being intrusive?
A: The app intelligently tracks your routine by looking for basic interactions such as lock screen activity or the usage of specific "everyday" apps that you select during setup. It does not record what you are doing within those apps, but simply notes that the device is being utilized, allowing it to safeguard your routine effortlessly in the background.
Q: Will my personal information or daily habits be stored in the cloud?
A: You can feel completely secure knowing that Keep Alive offers absolute privacy because it runs entirely on your local device. There are no cloud services, user accounts, trackers, or advertisements involved, which means your data and habits stay on your phone and are never shared with third parties.
Q: Does keeping this app running all day cause a significant drain on my battery?
A: One of the core benefits of Keep Alive is that it is built for everyone and highly optimized for minimal battery usage. It is designed to run continuously in the background using very few resources, so you can enjoy peace of mind without worrying about your phone dying prematurely during the day.
