I love trail-running, which usually puts me in remote areas by myself. I'm a risk-adverse person who loves slightly risky activities, so I'm all about minimizing risks. I wanted a mobile-friendly app that will alert my friends know if I get eaten by a bear or something. A lot of safe-call apps require you to have your phone on you when you're doing a risky activity, but I don't usually take my phone with me when I run, so I wanted to build something triggered by inaction rather than action.
