Lampsill is for people who live alone, and the people who'd want to know if something was wrong. If their phone hasn't been used for longer than they chose (12, 24 or 48 hours), Lampsill asks them "Are you OK?" first. If they don't answer, the people they chose are told, with one tap to call them or someone nearby. Nothing to wear, press or check in with. No location, microphone or camera. On iPhone and Android. Not an emergency service.

Could you build this?
Partial The check-in timer, "Are you OK?" prompt, and contact alerts are straightforward, but detecting phone inactivity reliably on mobile OSes is restricted and the safety stakes are high.
What it would actually take: Typical stack: a mobile app with push notifications, a backend job scheduler, SMS or voice alerting to contacts, and an escalation workflow. The hard parts are reliable inactivity detection under iOS and Android background limits and dependable escalation, which need mobile platform expertise and safety-process design.
