All-clear
An all-clear is the message your emergency contacts receive after an alert was triggered and it turns out you're fine. It closes the emotional loop: anyone who worried for a moment knows immediately that no help is needed.
A safety net is only good if it resolves the false alarm cleanly too. A missed check-in doesn't have to mean anything bad — maybe the phone was on silent, the battery was flat, or the day was simply full. When you check in afterwards, the people you alerted shouldn't be left in the dark.
The all-clear prevents the worst part of a false alarm: that someone stays worried for hours or drives over for nothing, when everything has long been fine. That makes it not an add-on but a core part of a responsible alert system.
How Still OK does it
When an alert has been triggered in Still OK and you check in afterwards, the notified contacts automatically receive an all-clear by email and WhatsApp — with the clear message that you're fine and no help is needed. So no one stays worried longer than necessary. The all-clear is included in the free version.
Paul, 36, leaves his phone in his backpack while hiking — silent mode was still on. He misses his check-in, and his mother gets an alert. An hour later Paul sees it, checks in, and his mother immediately receives the all-clear: all good. A scare turns into a short story to laugh about.
