I made a thing called Wellness Ping because someone I care about went silent and it took too long for anyone to notice.

You get regular check-ins via email. If you don't respond, your emergency contacts get notified.

Built it for anyone who might go missing and needs someone to notice: activists, journalists, researchers, solo folks.

I paid for premium hosting (high-reliability VPS in Sweden) and a quality email provider because uptime actually matters for something like this. Also paying extra for minimal data retention (7 days email activity, working toward zero content storage).

Free forever (as long as I'm alive) and open source.

This is pretty cool and interesting.

Does it take into account people going on vacation or visiting someplace with limited connectivity? 'cause I travel a lot and some of it is to places where I don't have reliable internet and I wouldn't want everyone to panic because I missed a check in due to connectivity issues.

@suramya You can simply disable the Ping (by logging in with the same email and turning your account off) and then when you come back you can turn it back on.

But if you want a more specific feel free to ask i will look into it!

Thanks for the explanation.

I was thinking of something more like being able to tell the system that I am going to be out for the next two weeks (as an example) and having it disable the checks for the two weeks and then auto reenable the checks post that.

That way I wouldn't have to remember to reenable it after I am back
