>Launched in May 2025, the app requires users to check in every two days by tapping a large on-screen button to confirm they are alive. If they fail to do so, the app automatically alxs a chosen emergency contact that something may be wrong.
I mean that could be usefull i guess ?
>The app markets itself as a “safety companion” for people living alone, students away from home, and those choosing a solitary lifestyle.

“该应用于2025年5月推出，要求用户每两天点击屏幕上的一个大按钮打卡，以确认自己还活着。如果未能打卡，应用会自动提醒用户预设的紧急联系人，提示可能出了问题。”
我觉得这应该挺有用的吧？
“该应用将自己定位为独居人士、离家求学的学生以及选择独居生活方式者的‘安全伴侣’。”

The only thing that gets used on regular basis ;)
I get a notification every time the door opens.

My MIL's retirement village uses flash cards by the door for the day of the week.
They're supposed to set the day of the week in the morning, so anyone who still has the previous day set, will get a check in when the nurse goes around on her golf cart.

我岳母的退休村在门边使用标有星期几的展示卡。
他们应该在早上把卡片换成当天的，所以如果有人的卡片还是前一天的，护士开着高尔夫球车巡视时就会进去检查。

We had the same system in my village (UK) except instead of a nurse, us primary school kids (so like 7-10 year olds) would check the cards on the walk to school and knock if any were incorrect, and then report it if we got no response. It seemed like a nice little system.
Plus I got lots of little gifts of thanks left out for me, especially during the colder months, when I'd do my rounds before school. Seemed like a win win :)

我们村（英国）也有同样的制度，不过不是护士，而是我们这些小学生（大概7-10岁）在上学路上检查卡片，如果不对就敲门，如果没回应就报告。这看起来是个挺不错的小制度。
而且我还收到过很多留给我的感谢小礼物，尤其是在寒冷的月份，我会在上学前去巡视。这看起来像是双赢 :)

I'm pretty sure I heard of a lady who died in her garage and they didn't notice for years because everything was on auto pay. I only pay one bill manually now, and it's not property taxes. If I automate that being paid from an account with enough money in it, I could disappear for a while before any authorities notice.

我很确定听说过一位女士死在自家车库里，多年都没人发现，因为所有账单都是自动扣款的。我现在只有一项账单是手动支付的，而且不是房产税。如果我把那个也设置成从一个钱够多的账户里自动扣款，我消失很长一段时间当局都不会注意到。

That happens more than people think. Especially with the people who have either cut ties with family or don't really have any family to begin with and usually keep to themselves staying at home and not being social. Those are the ones where you hear about it being the postal worker who calls after noticing they haven't collected their mail in a week or more. Or if it's and apartment complex it's sometimes the smell that alxs someone to something going on...

这种情况发生的频率比人们想象的要高。特别是那些与家人断绝关系，或者本来就没什么亲人，通常独来独往、不怎么社交的人。这也就是为什么你会听说邮递员发现有人一周或更长时间没取信后报了警。或者是如果住在公寓楼里，有时候是因为气味才提醒别人出事了……

Yep, happened to me. Started having complications with my epilepsy and my manager talked to HR when I no call no showed (work from home). HR called my parents (emergency contact) and they found me seizing in my apartment.
Luckily I had mentioned to my manager on Monday I wasn't feeling great, so when I wasn't responding on Tuesday it made my manager legitimately worry.

是的，我也遇到过这种情况。当时我的癫痫开始出现并发症，我的经理发现我没打电话也没露面（居家办公），就联系了HR。HR给我的父母（紧急联系人）打了电话，他们发现我在公寓里发病了。
幸好我周一跟经理提过我感觉不太舒服，所以周二我没回应时，经理才真心感到担心。

Honestly it’s a great idea, but should check in every 24 hours.
My aunt who lives alone and is older has a similar more old school system: she and an older friend who also lives alone call each other every day as a safety check.

老实说这是个好主意，但应该每24小时打卡一次。

At a 2 day interval it seems like less of a safety companion, and more of a way to ensure the body doesn't rot in the apartment.

The controversy isn't the function, although the app is translated as "Are you dead?", the app name could be interpreted as "Are you dead yet?" in Chinese.

I could see Android or iOS eventually incorporating this concept straight into the operating system. If you just haven’t touched your phone in 24hrs (or whatever timefrx you set) then notify whatever contact.
Could be great for a lot of different people. This kind of thing happens a lot for older people whose families have moved away or whatever.

我觉得 Android 或 iOS 最终会将这个概念直接整合进操作系统中。如果你 24 小时（或你设定的任何时间）没有触碰手机，就通知指定联系人。
这对很多不同人群来说都很棒。对于那些家人搬走或不在身边的老年人来说，这（无人发现的死亡）经常发生。

I see the short term good in this app. But no one seems to be talking about the bad.
My reluctance to join in on the chorus of praise here for this app is because I can already tell in the future that governments are going to make their own app like this and mandate it for all civilians who are single. Courts will side with congressmen saying that this app is allowed to violate your rights to privacy because the state has a compelling interest in safeguarding the public from harm. And if you choose not to comply, you will get fined. Or jailed. A new wave of Debtors' Prison
I can already see how this trend will slide from being an uplifting mechanism to an artifact of cultural depression. It will become a tool for elites to control rent prices by discriminating against single people, it will be used by government to spy on your current whereabouts because you will have to regularly report by interacting with the buttons on the app every so often, and police will use it as a civil forfeiture method of stealing from you because they will be following laws that allow them to not only obtain warrants to locate your whereabouts if you don't comply, but also pull money directly off your person once they do find you in order to satisfy the violation levied against you.
I don't see how this is good long term. It will undoubtedly be used by those in power to flex more power over those under them.

我能看到这个App短期的好处。但似乎没人在谈论它的坏处。
我不愿加入这里的赞歌，是因为我已经预见到未来政府会开发类似的App，并强制所有单身平民使用。法院会支持国会议员，声称该App允许侵犯你的隐私权，因为国家在保护公众免受伤害方面有迫切利益。如果你不遵守，就会被罚款，或者坐牢。这就是新一波的债务人监狱。

我已经能看到这种趋势如何从一种令人振奋的机制滑向文化萧条的产物。它将成为精英阶层通过歧视单身人士来控制房租价格的工具；它将被政府用来监视你当前的行踪，因为你必须定期点击App上的按钮来汇报；警察会利用它作为一种“民事没收”手段来窃取你的财产，因为他们将依据法律行事——这些法律不仅允许他们在你不遵守时获得搜查令定位你，而且一旦找到你，还可以直接从你身上扣钱来支付对你的违规罚款。

我看不到这从长远来看有什么好处。毫无疑问，当权者会利用它来对下层施加更大的权力。

This is useful until the government recognizes the usefulness themselves and passes laws mandating all single people to use this app under the guise of "being in the interest of preserving the public health and well being". Then the Black Mirror episode begins and those who don't comply are fined and jailed and relentlessly spied on until they are far worse off than before the app ever existed in the first place. And the only way out is if you are partnered. That will give the government the excuse it needs to indirectly coerce marriages and have couples who otherwise wanted to be single to pump out babies and live miserable lives together for the sake of propping up the state's capitalistic fervor.

在政府意识到其用处，并打着“维护公众健康和福祉”的幌子立法强制所有单身人士使用该App之前，它都是有用的。然后《黑镜》的情节就开始了，不遵守的人会被罚款、监禁，并受到无休止的监视，直到他们的处境比这个App出现之前还要糟糕得多。唯一的出路就是找个伴侣。这将给政府提供借口来间接强迫婚姻，让那些原本想单身的人为了支撑国家的资本主义狂热而生孩子，并一起过着悲惨的生活。

It doesn't necessarily mean you are lonely. Imagine you live on the opposite side of the country to your family and don't speak to them super frequently. Your emergency contact is unlikely to be your friend, and more likely to be a parent or guardian.

This would be very handy where I live. We have a lot of elderly farm folks living alone, who die, only to be found by us neighbours when the buzzards start circling. My neighbour has found 4 of my neighbours outside, deceased, in the last 16 months. It would be better to find them before the wolves got them so 1-2 days is ideal.

在我住的地方这会非常有用。我们有很多独居的老年农场主，他们死后，直到秃鹰开始盘旋才会被我们这些邻居发现。在过去16个月里，我的邻居已经在外面发现了4名去世的邻居。最好在狼群找到他们之前发现他们，所以1-2天是最理想的。

It's a sad take on the world that we're in at this point. But we have a lot of people out there that live alone and neighbours wouldn't notice particularly quickly that they've not been seen for a while. I have had the thought "who would even notice if something happened to me" before. I called my parents weekly, but it would probably be a week or two before they worried about not hearing from me. My employer would probably give it a couple of days, since I can work from home.
Speak to anyone who's been working as a firefighter for a couple of years, I'm sure most of us have been to a welfare call and either found someone that's been on the floor for a day or two, or we were simply too late.

这是我们当前世界的一种悲哀写照。但我们确实有很多独居的人，邻居不会特别快地注意到他们已经消失一段时间了。我以前也想过“如果我出了事，到底谁会注意到”。我每周给父母打一次电话，但大概要过一两周他们才会担心没我的消息。既然能在家办公，我的雇主大概也会等几天。

问问任何当过几年消防员的人，我确信我们大多数人都出过“安康确认”的任务，要么发现有人倒在地板上一两天了，要么就是我们来得太晚了。

Everyone should have a safety net of 2 people. You register online and 2 random people are assigned to you as your keepers, their task is to know you're ok every day, just by a simple message and reply.

I need this app! I live alone, I'm not sociable enough to talk to people outside of work every day, and Liz Lemon has given me a complex that I'm going to choke on some dinner or slip in the bath and lie there dead and undiscovered for days. At least my cats are food obsessed enough to start eating me so I know they won't starve but someone needs to give the little bastards a hug and some water.

我需要这个App！我一个人住，不太善于交际，工作之余不会每天和人聊天。而且Liz Lemon（美剧《我为喜剧狂》主角）让我有了一种心理阴影，总觉得自己会因为吃晚饭噎住或者在浴缸里滑倒，然后躺在那儿死了好几天都没人发现。至少我的猫对食物够执着，会开始吃我，所以我知道它们不会饿死，但还是需要有人给这些小混蛋一个拥抱和一点水喝。

If my daily screen time exceeds 4 hours, or drops below 2 hours for every day of the week, then you can probably perform a wellness check.

Interesting app.
I myself am from the boonies and have moved to the city about 4 years ago.
I am a programmer by profession. The longest I've ever gone without ever talking to anyone is 1 year and 7 months. Not counting the casual thank yous and small forms of communication I do when buying groceries at the cashier, etc etc.
I work from home and we do chat based meetings and anything work related is done over company slack.
I don't go out to eat. I cook for myself. Infact the only time I ever go outside is to buy groceries. My apartment complex has a gym so I do my physical activities there.
I don't go out of my way to hide or avoid people but I also do not go out of my way to socialize or talk to people.
When I am done with work I usually play games or read. I've recently started building miniature war boats or galleons. I've finished 2 so far.
Over the years I have slowly discovered that I am very much comfortable at being alone. As in, not seeing, talking or having any physical contact with anyone for very very prolonged periods of time. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, I honestly don't know.
I don't get sad, I don't feel anxiety nor am I depressed. I just feel... Neutral I guess. I find enjoyment in being alone.
Sometimes I wonder if there's something wrong with me.
I hope not.

有趣的App。
我自己来自偏远地区，大约四年前搬到了城市。
我的职业是程序员。我最长没有和任何人说话的时间是一年零七个月。这不包括我在收银台买杂货时随口说的谢谢之类的简单交流。

我在家工作，我们开会也是打字聊，任何工作相关的事情都在公司的Slack上完成。
我不出去吃饭。我自己做饭。事实上，我唯一出门的时候就是去买杂货。我的公寓楼有健身房，所以我就在那里锻炼。
我不会特意躲避人，但我也不会特意去社交或找人聊天。
工作结束后，我通常玩游戏或看书。最近我开始制作微型战舰或大帆船模型。到目前为止已经完成了两艘。

这些年来，我慢慢发现独处让我非常自在。也就是在很长很长的时间里不与任何人见面、交谈或有任何身体接触。老实说，我不知道这是好事还是坏事。
我不觉得悲伤，不感到焦虑，也不抑郁。我只是觉得……平静吧。我在独处中找到了乐趣。
有时候我也想是不是我出了什么问题。
希望没有。

I love how "China" is basically a trigger phrase for you liberals, activating your programming. The brainwashing is so powerful

我真喜欢看“中国”这个词怎么变成了你们这些自由派的触发词，瞬间激活你们的预设程序。这洗脑太厉害了。

I've thought about something like this, something you have to check in on. But then I think what happens when my internet (wifi/data) is down, or I have no power? What happens if I oversleep or got drunk or something and am not there to do it in time? If it's only on mobile, what happens if I lose/break my phone? Hell, I use my phone to get into my parking lot--I *already* worry about that.

我考虑过类似的东西，就是那种你必须打卡的。但后来我想，如果我的网络（Wifi/数据）断了或者没电了会发生什么？如果我睡过头或喝醉了或者发生什么事情没能及时打卡会发生什么？如果只能在手机上用，如果我手机丢了或坏了怎么办？天啊，我现在用手机进停车场——我都*已经*在担心那个了。

Here in America we have the Snug app, which alxs family and even police if you do not check in at a certain time every day.

在美国，我们有Snug这个App，如果你没有在每天的特定时间打卡，它会向家人甚至警察发出警报。

I guess this is a kick in the rear for me to finally throw my app out there.
Similar in nature (dead mans switch) but offers a ton of flexibility with more ways to announce your expiration if you want (memorial sites, video sites, audio sites, release the files type of sites, ways to publicly show your "status" and planned for OnSite actions (legal gets involved, we get pre-cleared to remove specific items from a location). Also we are going to be able to offer to mail items stored in our vault as a "action" if you do not check in.

我想这是在鞭策我终于要把我的App推出了。
本质上类似（死人开关机制），但提供了极大的灵活性，如果您愿意的话，可以通过更多方式宣布您的离世（纪念网站、视频网站、音频网站、文件发布类网站、公开显示您“状态”的方式以及计划中的现场行动（涉及法律层面，我们会预先获得许可从特定位置移除特定物品）。此外，如果您不签到，我们还将提供把存储在我们保险库中的物品邮寄出去作为一种“行动”。

This app seems like it would be a great tool either way, alone or not. Perhaps a useful addition would be to have the ability to set a timer, say you're going somewhere alone, you set a timer to check yourself in in X minutes, and then at least everyone knows you've made it to your destination safe... Or not of course.

无论是否独居，这个App看起来都是一个很棒的工具。也许一个有用的补充功能是能够设置计时器，假设你要独自去某个地方，你设置一个计时器在X分钟内自我打卡，然后至少每个人都知道你已经安全到达目的地……或者当然也可以知道你没安全到达。

Man I want this for me and I have a family. My kids are young and I had this horrifying thought that if my husband and I somehow got hurt or died, our kids could starve to death in the house before anybody realized something was wrong.
The oldest is 6 now, and I think he would eventually leave the house… looks like it’s time for the “what to do in an emergency” chat

伙计，我自己想要这个，尽管我有家室。我的孩子还小，我有过这种可怕的想法：如果我和丈夫出了意外受伤或死亡，我们的孩子可能会在任何人意识到出问题之前就饿死在家里。
最大的现在6岁了，我想他最终会离开家……看来是时候谈谈“紧急情况下该怎么办”了。

We need that in the U.S. I'm over 70 and basically live alone (family in attached house, but we hardly interact). How many days we'll be dead before someone finds our corpse is a definite topic of conversation among us olds from time to time. Our county has a program where the sheriff's office will call you every day for a check-in, and if you don't respond they'll send someone out for a wellness check. But some of hus don't want a phone call every day. An app with options like every two days seems more seamless.

我们在美国也需要这个。我70多岁了，基本上一个人住（家人住在连体房里，但我们几乎没有互动）。我们要死多少天才会有人发现尸体，这是我们老年人时不时谈论的确切话题。我们县有一个项目，治安官办公室每天都会打电话给你确认情况，如果你没有回应，他们就会派人进行安康确认。但我们有些人不想每天都接电话。像每两天打卡一次这样的App选项似乎更无缝。

I always see somewhat fluff pieces talking about the rise of the rich and upper middle class in China and being like "wow, nice they are improving their lives and the government might be better to them" and realizing they are just feeling a taste of capitalism and it's still a dystopian world.

我总是看到一些关于中国富人和上层中产阶级崛起的软文，说什么“哇，真好，他们正在改善生活，政府可能对他们更好了”，然后意识到他们只是尝到了资本主义的甜头，而这仍然是一个反乌托邦的世界。

How is a wellness check app dystopian?

一个安康确认App怎么就反乌托邦了？

I wouldn't say the app itself is dystopian, as long as it's voluntary, but it's a little dystopian that we've got to a place where this is the number 1 app in China. People really interact so little, that there's a risk no-one would notice they're dead.

我不会说这个App本身是反乌托邦的，只要它是自愿的，但它是中国排名第一的App，这点有点反乌托邦。人们的互动真的少到了如果不打卡就没人会发现他们死了的地步。
