Life-Link.app

Life-Link.app is free to use. If you find it useful, you can optionally support running costs with a yearly contribution or a one-time thank-you in the app. Contributions do not change features. Prices are shown in the app before you pay. This app is not a substitute for using emergency services. Life-Link.app helps people stay in touch in small, informal groups of two or more. No social media — just being social. Only people you invite can see your status or chat with you. You might live alone and want low-pressure contact with people you trust — to say "I'm OK" or "I NEED HELP!" and know the right people will see it. You might be a friend or relative who gets a nudge when someone wants to connect, or an alert when they need support. Or both: one carer supporting several people, or one person with several contacts looking out for them. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Post wellbeing status — "I'm OK", "Feeling unwell", or "I NEED HELP!" — so Emergency Contacts are notified immediately • Receive notifications for alerts, replies, and activity from contacts you care about • Group chat with your Life-Link connections • Share location when you choose, with map context during an active emergency (only when enabled) • Add optional profile details (e.g. medical notes) that approved Emergency Contacts may see on the emergency dashboard when you ask for help WELLBEING & HEALTH DATA Life-Link.app is not a medical device and does not diagnose conditions. Core alerting works from the status you choose to post — no wearable or health platform required for basic use. Wellbeing status (user-initiated): You choose when to post Feeling Great, OK, Unwell, Feeling Bad, or I NEED HELP! Optional notes included. Updates appear on your Timeline and notify approved Emergency Contacts. Optional platform health (Google Health Connect — coming in a future update): This release does not read from Health Connect. Wellbeing statuses, notifications, chat, and emergency location sharing work fully without it. In a future update, supported Android builds may optionally read a limited set of data from Health Connect — heart rate and step count — only after you grant permission in device settings, and only as optional context for Emergency Contacts during an active I NEED HELP! alert. Nothing would be read silently in the background, sold, or used for ads. We do not sell health data or monitor you for marketing. The app may remind you (not your contacts) if device battery is critically low and not charging. BACKGROUND LOCATION (ONLY WITH YOUR CLEAR PERMISSION) Optional and only for emergency support: after "I NEED HELP!", and only if you allow background access, location may be shared with your Emergency Contacts for up to 24 hours — nobody else, not for ads. Without that permission and status, background location is not used for sharing. PRIVACY AND CONTROL • You choose Emergency Contacts and who can message you • Foreground location is optional when you turn it on • Optional health data (when available) will require separate OS permission • Read our privacy policy for full details Life-Link.app is for communication and everyday support between people who already know each other.
