How it works
Y.O.D.O. is a quiet companion. It checks in with you on a schedule you choose, lets the people you trust step in if you ever go silent, and holds the words you want them to have, until the moment they need them.
One tap to check in. A rhythm that fits your life.
Every so often
On a schedule you choose, Y.O.D.O. sends you one short message. You log in and tap once to say you are OK. That is the whole check-in.
Monthly by default, and you can change the cadence at any time. You can also send a Quick check-in yourself after a long flight, a hospital stay, or a quiet stretch, so the people you trust know nothing is wrong.
How Check-ins workIf you ever go quiet
If you miss a check-in, Y.O.D.O. does not raise an alarm. It quietly contacts the Delegates you chose, in the order you set, so they can check whether you are simply busy, away, or in need of support.
A Delegate can request a Care Pause when life is loud, so check-ins do not chase you while you focus on what matters. There are no automated alerts, no location tracking, and no contact with emergency services.
How Delegates workIf the worst happens
Inside your account, you can write private letters, notes, or voice messages for specific people. Y.O.D.O. holds them sealed and unread, so only the recipients you chose will ever see them.
Messages are released only after a passing has been formally verified, and only once the Buffer period you set has ended. You can add, edit, or remove what you have written whenever you want.
How Messages workRoles at a glance
A short side-by-side of the four Y.O.D.O. roles, what each person sees, and what they are asked to do.
You. The person the account is set up to look after.
Someone you trust to act if you ever go quiet.
A professional or organisation you nominate to be told once a passing has been verified.
Someone you have chosen to receive one of your sealed Messages.
Only Account Holders pay. Delegates, Special Delegates and Recipients are always free.
Y.O.D.O. is built to sit gently in the background. Most of the time, you will barely notice it.
Each check-in takes a single tap. No forms, no tracking, no daily reminders.
Messages stay encrypted. Nothing is released until a passing has been formally verified.
No location data, no health data, no surveillance. Only the signals you choose to send.
Y.O.D.O. is a communication support service. It does not replace a will, monitor your health, detect medical events, or contact emergency services. It simply helps the people you trust know you are OK, and makes sure your words reach them if you ever cannot deliver them yourself.
