About Phing LLC

Who We Are

Phing LLC is a technology company based in Bothell, Washington, founded in 2024. We build apps designed to improve everyday life — from personal safety to connecting people with the things that matter.

As a small, user-funded company, our customers come first — not investors or advertisers. You There? is our first app, and it's just the beginning. We're building a suite of apps with the same foundation: privacy by design, simple to use, and genuinely useful when it matters most.

Our Vision

We believe technology should work quietly in the background, making life safer and more connected without demanding your attention. Each app we build follows the same principles: privacy by design, simple to use, and genuinely useful when it matters most.

Based in the Pacific Northwest, we're here for the long term — building trust one user at a time, one app at a time.

Who Benefits from You There?

Real people, real peace of mind

Peace of Mind for Families

Sarah's 78-year-old father lives alone across the country. With You There?, he checks in every morning. If he doesn't respond by 10 AM, Sarah and her siblings get an alert with his location — helping them act fast when it matters most.
  • Daily wellness checks without intrusive calls
  • Location data for wandering concerns (dementia/Alzheimer's)
  • Multiple family members stay informed

Freedom with a Safety Net

Marcus loves backcountry hiking but his partner worries when cell service is spotty. He sets check-ins during weekend trips. If he doesn't check in, his partner knows his last location — critical information for search and rescue.
  • Customizable schedules for different activities
  • Location captured at alert time for search and rescue
  • Doesn't require constant texts that ruin the experience

Independence Without Isolation

Emma moved to a new city for her first job. Her parents worry, but daily calls feel smothering. With regular check-ins, Emma maintains her independence while her parents know she's okay — and if she ever misses one, they can reach out.
  • Respects independence while providing oversight
  • Reduces parental anxiety without constant contact
  • Safety net for medical emergencies when living alone

Support for Your Wellness Journey

After struggling with depression, James wanted a discreet way for his support system to check on him. He sets daily check-ins with his therapist and best friend. Knowing someone will notice if he's not okay provides comfort — without the pressure of reaching out first.
  • Discreet wellness monitoring
  • Reduces burden of asking for help
  • Enables support systems without being overbearing

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.
