One tap in the morning, and the people you chose know all is well. Miss the tap, go silent for hours, run out of battery, or leave home with the phone in your pocket — and they get told. With your last position, if you said yes to that.
See a morning with Alene Try it before everyone elseComing to the App Store. iPhone, iOS 26. No account, no subscription during the beta. "Alene" is Danish for "alone".
Alene is built on silence as the signal. The timer lives on our server, so a phone that is switched off triggers exactly the same as a phone nobody answers.
Try it: the ring is open while you are being waited for. Tap it.
Every rule is one icon on the home screen. On or off. No menus to get lost in — not even at 84.
Fixed times, say 8:00 and 20:00. A window of 15, 30 or 60 minutes. Pick weekdays. Five minutes before the window closes, you are told first.
One tap to switch on when you are alone in the forest or on the night shift. The phone asks every two hours and the window is short. Switch off when you are home.
The phone quietly reports it is alive, with battery and steps. Silent for hours, or battery dying without movement — and your people are told, with the last position.
A circle around home, set on a map. If the phone leaves it, the family is told at once. When it comes back, the alarm clears by itself.
Holiday, hospital, a weekend at the kids': no questions and no alarms for a day, a week, or until you switch it back on. SOS still works.
Hold for a second and a half, and everyone following you is told immediately — with your position, if your privacy level allows it.
Green ring: all is well. Open ring: you are being waited for. Red: alarm. That's the whole language.
Three levels. It is always shown on the app's home screen, and it can be changed at any time. Tighten it, and the old data is deleted too — on our server, not just in the app.
The default. They see battery and whether the phone has moved. Your position is only sent if there is an alarm — and then it is the freshest we can get.
Alone with the chainsaw, far from the road. "At work" switched on, the phone asks every two hours, and a colleague knows where he last was if he doesn't answer.
One tap in the morning is a small "good morning" to the kids. If it doesn't come, they call — instead of worrying all day. And if she goes for a walk and forgets the way, they know.
No surveillance. Just calm: a green ring means all is well. And "I'll take care of it" with one tap, so you don't all call at once.
Alene is an app on a phone, not an emergency centre. We say it out loud so you can trust the rest.
The server waits for a heartbeat that never comes. After the time you chose (say 3 hours) the people you share with are told: "No contact for 3 hours" — with the last known position, if your privacy level allows it. When the phone comes back, the alarm clears by itself.
Only if you choose "Everything, always". The default is that your position is sent only when there is an alarm. And on "Only my answers", neither position, battery nor movement is shared — not even on alarm.
Five minutes before the window closes you are told first: "In 5 minutes Mette will be told". One tap, and nothing happens. And if it does reach Mette, you simply tap the ring afterwards — and everyone is told you are ok again.
No. You type your name, and that's it. Your identity lives in the phone's keychain and follows you to a new iPhone. Family joins with a code or a QR.
Not yet. Alene is built for iPhone (iOS 26). The people following you need the app too.
Nothing during the beta. Write to us and you get access through TestFlight.
On a server in Denmark. Heartbeats are deleted after 7 days, alarms after 90. You can delete everything with one tap in the app. Read the privacy policy.
