Daily check-ins for people who live alone
Miss a check-in. Someone you trust gets a heads-up.
Ghosted is a daily check-in app for iPhone. Tap “Still Here” each day. If you miss it and your grace period runs out, Ghosted sends your contact a Telegram alert.
Free with one contact. They need Telegram and must accept your invite. They don’t need Ghosted.
How it works
You check in. Ghosted handles the follow-up.
Invite someone you trust.
Pick someone who can follow up if you go quiet. Send them your invite link. They need to accept it in Telegram before alerts can reach them.
Check in each day.
Open Ghosted and tap “Still Here.” On the free plan, your next check-in is due 24 hours later.
Miss it? They get an alert.
You get a 2-hour grace period on the free plan. Still no check-in? Ghosted sends your contact a Telegram message asking them to reach out.
The alert
An alert when you miss a check-in.
A daily text works until you forget and someone has to decide when to worry. Ghosted sends a message after your check-in deadline and grace period pass, asking your contact to call or message you. Agree beforehand on what to do if you don’t answer.

🟡 Ghosted check-in missed
Hi Maya 💛
Alex hasn’t checked in on Ghosted and may need someone to reach out. You’re one of the people they trust.
Could you try calling or messaging them?
Sent only after your check-in and grace period have passed.
Why Ghosted exists
I built Ghosted because I live alone with dogs.
If something happened to me, how long would my dogs be on their own? I wanted someone I trust to get a heads-up if I stopped checking in. So I built Ghosted.

Questions
Before you download
Does my contact need Ghosted?
No, just Telegram. Send them your invite link and ask them to accept it through the Ghosted bot. They can only receive alerts after accepting.
What if I forget to check in?
The free plan gives you 2 extra hours after your daily check-in is due. If you still haven’t checked in, your contact gets an alert, even if you simply forgot. Premium lets you change the timing.
Is it free?
Yes. Daily check-ins, a 2-hour grace period, and one trusted contact are free. Premium includes up to five contacts and custom timing for $4.99/month or $34.99/year in USD. Local App Store prices may vary.
Does Ghosted track my location?
No. Ghosted records your check-in, not your location. The app doesn’t ask for location permission or store location data.
Can I send a test alert?
Not yet. Check that your contact has accepted your Telegram invitation, and agree on what they should do if an alert arrives.
Does it arrange help for my pets?
No. Ghosted sends the missed check-in alert. You and your contact need to arrange who can get in, feed your pets, and care for them if you can’t.
Is it an emergency service?
No. Ghosted does not monitor your health or dispatch emergency responders. It sends a missed check-in alert to contacts who accepted your invite. It can’t guarantee they’ll see it or respond.
Which devices can use it?
Ghosted is available on iOS worldwide except France. Your contact only needs Telegram, so they can use an Android phone too.
Start with someone you trust.
Download Ghosted and invite your contact through Telegram. Once they accept, make your first check-in.
