Shared confirmation
A private digit you both know. Wrong taps lock the challenge so strangers can’t guess.
Closer
No GPS. Ever.
Safety check-ins without location tracking.
Scheduled Are you OK? prompts for family and partners, a shared confirmation number, and alerts only when something is wrong - peace of mind without GPS or a map of someone's day.
How it works
A quiet check-in, not a location tracker
Closer is a safety check-in app: you and someone you trust agree on a confirmation number. When it is time, they tap the right number. If they do not, or they need help, you get notified - with no live GPS tracking.
Invite someone
Share a short invite code. They join with their own Closer account.
Set a window
Pick when check-ins should fire: once a day on free, more often with Closer Plus.
Confirm with a number
They unlock with their PIN and choose the shared digit. Missed or “need help” alerts go to you.
Features
Built for reassurance, not surveillance
No live location. No endless feed. Just a clear signal that someone is okay, or that they need you.
Late check-in window
Missed the timer? There’s still an hour to confirm after PIN verification.
Need-help signal
One tap to alert your person, plus quick call/text shortcuts when seconds matter.
Schedules that fit life
Daily windows, optional repeats, and clearer control when you upgrade to Plus.
Invite & connections
Free accounts can stay close with one person. Plus unlocks more trusted connections.
Android & Google Play
Billing runs through Google Play, with a familiar purchase flow for monthly, yearly, or lifetime Plus.
