Built for How You Live

Whether you’re scaling a mountain or writing a letter to your grandchildren, LastFlare keeps your connections safe.

Adventure Mode

“Go further. We’ve got your back.”

For travelers, adventurers, and anyone heading off the grid. Set how often you’ll check in — every few hours or every few days. A quick tap lets us know you’re safe. If you remain unreachable after reminders, your guardians may be contacted.

  • Customizable check-in intervals
  • One-tap check-in from the app — reminder links open it directly*
  • Activate before any trip or activity
  • Owner reminders by push and email; guardian email and eligible SMS alerts
  • Multi-stage verification reduces unintended-delivery risk

Legacy Mode

“Your words. Their time.”

For anyone who wants to leave meaningful messages for the people they love. Write letters, record videos, save photos. A gentle, routine check-in keeps everything safe until it’s needed.

  • Weekly or monthly check-in schedules
  • Text, video, audio, and photo messages
  • Guided prompts to help you find the right words
  • Large, accessible interface with high contrast
  • Invite guardians to add an extra layer of safety

How LastFlare Works

Three steps designed to help your words reach the people who matter.

Write Your Messages

Compose text messages, record videos, capture audio, or save photos. Your messages are encrypted and stored securely on our servers — only delivered when the time comes.

Set Your Schedule

Choose how often you want to check in — daily for adventures, weekly or monthly for peace of mind. A quick tap in the app confirms you’re okay. Miss one? We’ll reach out by push and email, plus SMS when enabled on an eligible plan and available in your country.

Live Without Worry

Go on your adventure. Live your life. If you ever miss a check-in, our multi-stage safety cascade adds repeated opportunities to check in and stop delivery.

Your Safety Cascade

We use multiple safeguards to reduce the risk that your messages and selected Life Story chapters are delivered at the wrong time. No automated delivery system can eliminate that risk entirely.

Stage 1: Gentle Reminder

When your check-in is due, we send a friendly push notification and in-app alert. One tap and you're good.

Stage 2: Reaching Out

After a roughly 2-hour grace period, we reach out by email and, when enabled on an eligible plan and available in your country, SMS*. The email carries a link that opens LastFlare so you can check in.

Stage 3: Guardians

After about 6 hours, we reach out to your guardians to check on you. They can report that you are safe, that they cannot reach you, or that you have passed away.

Stage 4: Final Chance

After guardian verification completes or its response window ends, eligible paths get a final email and roughly 12 hours before sharing may begin. On the normal cascade path, use the link and confirm to cancel during this grace period.

Message & Chapter Delivery

Guardian confirmation moves eligible content into the final warning period — and if you've enabled automatic delivery with current consent, that can also happen after the guardian response window ends without enough confirmations. Cases routed to manual review follow the same route: an operator's authorization begins that final warning period — never an immediate send — and a current stop request on file still blocks it.

Built with Care, Secured with Precision

Every feature is designed with one question in mind: does this help your words reach the right people at the right time?

AES-256 Encryption

Every message, video, and photo is encrypted with AES-256-GCM on our servers. Your content stays protected until the moment it's delivered — with a full audit trail from check-in to delivery.

Multiple Reminder Channels

We reach you by push notification and email, plus SMS when enabled on an eligible plan and available in your country.* Open the app to check in in seconds.

Rich Media Messages

Text isn't always enough. Record video messages, voice notes, or attach photos to make your words truly personal.

Guardian Verification

Choose trusted guardians who independently verify before your active messages and Life Story chapters selected for recipients are released. Set how many must confirm — a guardian's silence is never counted as a yes. If you'd rather that selected private content still go out when guardians can't be reached, that's a setting you turn on yourself and re-confirm when its scope changes. The safety layer that sets LastFlare apart.

Flexible Schedules

From hourly check-ins for a day hike to monthly for legacy planning. Pause anytime for planned vacations or hospital stays.

Accessible Design

Large text, high contrast, and maximum 3 taps to any core function. Built for everyone, including those who need it most.

*SMS requires an eligible plan, opt-in, a supported country, and carrier availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nothing happens right away. Our multi-step safety verification gives you multiple chances to confirm you're okay through push and email and guardian verification. A guardian threshold or valid automatic-delivery consent can move eligible content into a final warning period; otherwise the case goes to operator review. You can also set a vacation/pause mode for planned absences.

LastFlare uses AES-256-GCM encryption to protect your messages at rest. Encryption and decryption happen on our servers — we hold the key and are transparent about this in our privacy policy. We cannot share your content with third parties without a valid legal order, and we will notify you if legally permitted to do so.

Data export is available in the app. If discontinuation is within our reasonable control, we intend to give as much notice as reasonably practicable and use commercially reasonable efforts to complete active cascades or notify affected users. Abrupt legal, security, insolvency, infrastructure, or third-party events may prevent completion or advance notice.

Not at all. Many people use check-in apps simply for peace of mind while traveling, hiking, or living alone. Legacy mode is about thoughtfully preparing messages for your loved ones for the future. Think of it as a time capsule with a safety net.

Tap the link in the reminder email — it opens the LastFlare app directly to the check-in screen. If the app isn't installed yet, the link guides you to download it first.

If you keep checking in, the verification cascade does not start and your active messages and selected Life Story chapters stay stored. If you miss a check-in, LastFlare uses reminders and guardian checks. Eligible content may be released when your guardian threshold is met or, if it is not met, through automatic delivery with current consent or operator review. Available cancellation controls can stop unsent content but cannot recall anything already delivered.
