Who We Are
Phing is a technology company based in Bothell, Washington, founded in 2024. We build You There?, an app that keeps your loved ones safe with automated check-ins and emergency alerts.
As a small, user-funded company, our customers come first — not investors or advertisers. We build with privacy by design, simple experiences, and genuinely useful safety tools for the moments that matter most.
Our Vision
We believe technology should solve real problems without adding more noise. You There? is built for the moments that actually matter, from daily wellness check-ins to unexpected emergencies.
Based in the Pacific Northwest, we're here for the long term — building trust one user at a time.
You There?
Your Safety Companion
One-Tap Check-In with Smart Countdown
Tap "I'M HERE" to confirm you're safe. A countdown timer shows how long you have until your next check-in is due. Build check-in streaks to stay consistent. Customize your interval from 2 hours to 7 days to fit any routine, from daily wellness checks to multi-day adventures.
Your family gets peace of mind. You stay independent with a safety net that fits your life.
Multi-Channel Alerts That Actually Reach People
When you miss a check-in, your contacts are alerted via SMS, push notification, and an automatic phone call — so the message gets through even if a text goes unread. A configurable grace period gives you buffer time before alerts fire, reducing false alarms. An alert sound on your device also signals that a check-in is overdue before it escalates.
No more wondering "Did they see my message?" Help is on the way when you need it most.
SOS Emergency Button
Don't wait for a missed check-in. In a real emergency, tap the SOS button to immediately alert all your contacts with your current location. It's designed for those moments when you can't afford to wait — a fall on a trail, a medical situation at home, or any time you need help fast. One tap sends the signal to everyone who matters.
Instant alerts with your location. Help can start moving the moment something goes wrong.
Privacy-First Safety
Your location is captured only at alert time — never during regular check-ins. We don't track you, sell your data, or serve ads. Want to try the app before committing? Guest mode lets you explore the full experience without creating an account. You stay in control of your data at every step.
Safety without surveillance. Try it risk-free with guest mode — no account required.
