Schedule check-ins with your loved ones. Tap to acknowledge. If you go silent, the right people are notified — in the right order, at the right time.
Every parent says "text me when you get there." We just made it automatic — for the trail, the peak, the crag, the water, the road.
Add your spouse, your mom, a friend — up to a handful of contacts. Each gets their own escalation tier: try-calling first, emergency second, full alert last.
Every hour or two, the app asks you to check in. Tap the green button. Or just move — any position ping counts as an implicit check-in. Takes two seconds.
If you go quiet past your window, we notify your people automatically. Email. SMS. In escalating severity. With your last-known position and a live tracker link.
Some people head out to be alone — and want it that way. No one watching, no live map, no location shared. Just a quiet check-in with yourself, and one person told only if you go silent.
Nobody watches — no live map, no shared link. A tether against yourself.
We quietly check on you, on your own cadence — hours or days between check-ins.
Miss a check-in, and only the one person you choose is ever told.
Off by default — even from us. Your position is never shared unless you turn it on.
Magna Tether covers the 80% of trips where you've got cell or wifi at some point in the day. For true off-grid — deep backcountry, offshore, alpine — carry a PLB too.
"Press this button if you're in trouble" only works if you're conscious, mobile, and holding the device. We flipped it. Magna Tether notices when you stop being fine — on its own.— The reverse check-in model
