Most of the time, everything is fine.
Until it isn't.
And the hardest part isn't always what's happening—
it's not knowing.
Someone doesn't respond.
Something feels off.
And you start filling in the gaps yourself.
There's no structure for that moment.
Just waiting. Guessing. Hoping.
There should be something in between.
Cover Your Tail is a simple, private way to check in—
so someone would know if you're not okay.
Set it up once. Then go live your life.
Add your people
Add the people you trust — friends, family, or a hiking buddy. They only hear from us if something's off.
Set your schedule
Pick a daily or weekly check-in window that works for you. Going somewhere? Add a one-time activity with a deadline too.
One tap and you're done
When you're back, just tap to clear it. That's it. If you don't, your people hear from us — but that's never their business until then.
Go without explaining yourself
Hit the trail, go for that solo run, or stay late at the office — you don't owe anyone a report. Cover Your Tail handles the rest.
Everything you need to make sure someone would know
Scheduled Check-ins
Set daily or weekly check-in windows. If you don't respond in time, your contacts get a text from us.
Activity Deadlines
Going on a hike or a solo drive? Set a return deadline and your contacts get a text from us if you haven't checked in.
Your Circle
Designate multiple contacts per activity. They get a text with your plans so they know to reach out.
Location Sharing
Optionally include your GPS location or home address so your people know where you said you'd be.
Live your life. And know someone would know if something wasn't right.
No check-ins with anyone. No explaining yourself. Just go — and know that if something's ever wrong, the right people will find out.
