Who do you never want to lose touch with?
Lifeboat makes staying part of one another’s lives, the easy thing to do.
Your 20-person Lifeboat is free (3 min set up)
Don’t let people you love become people you used to know.
Life gets busy. People drift. And when something hard happens, even the people who love us most often don't know when—or how—to show up.
Whether you’re going through a major life change, navigating grief or illness, caregiving, feeling overwhelmed, or simply want to stay better connected, Lifeboat helps keep your people close.
Choose the people who matter most. Choose when you'd like them to check in. Add the dates you never want forgotten. And when you need support or have news to share, Lifeboat helps you reach your people without having to text everyone individually.
Your people don't need the app. Lifeboat reaches them by text, making it easy for the people who love you to actually show up.
WHAT LIFEBOAT HELPS YOU DO
• Stay connected: Gentle reminders help your people remember to reach out.
• Keep everyone updated: Share news with your whole circle in one tap.
• Remember the days that matter: Birthdays, anniversaries, memorials, difficult dates, and milestones.
• Ask for help: Get support with rides, meals, errands, company, or whatever you actually need.
• Get support right now: Use Lifeboat's AI Companion for connection, practical help, guidance, resources, and reflection.
• Reach everyone quickly: OneTap SOS™ lets you alert your people when something is urgent.
FOR ORDINARY LIFE AND THE HARD STUFF
Lifeboat can help when you're navigating grief, illness, caregiving, recovery, postpartum, divorce, job loss, loneliness, or another major life change.
But you don't need to be going through a crisis to use Lifeboat.
Sometimes you just have people you love - and don't want to lose touch with.
3 Ways to Activate
For Yourself:
Create your own personal support network for consistent emotional connection during grief, illness, crisis, caregiving, or tough times.
For a Loved One:
Set up support for someone special—aging parents, grieving friends, or anyone who needs regular, meaningful connection but won't ask for help.
For Your Community:
Coordinate care for members of your congregation, organization, or community group. Perfect for churches, support groups, and care teams.
Key Features:
-No app or login required for supporters - Works via text messages
-Customizable reminders - recurring or special dates only
-Birthday/Anniversary/memorial reminders - Gentle nudges for milestones, holidays, and tough days

Grief support • Chronic illness • Mental health • Caregiving & Caregiver Burnout • Recovery • Senior care • Community care • Loneliness • Depression • Anxiety • Family crisis • Therapy support • Hospice care • Cancer support • Divorce • Postpartum • Bereavement • Active military & Veterans
Why Support Fails vs. Why Lifeboat Works:
-Friends don't know when to reach out → Automatic reminder system
-Support fades after initial crisis → Sustained long-term connection
-Fear of being a burden → Removes awkwardness for everyone
-Forgotten important dates → Automatic memorial and anniversary reminders

You now have even more control over how each person in your Lifeboat stays connected. You can set someone to birthday reminders only, or pause their reminders entirely without removing them from your Lifeboat. Because not every relationship needs the same kind of check-in or cadence.
We’ve also made the Lifeboat AI Companion much smarter and more intuitive. It’s better at helping you reconnect with someone, figure out what kind of support you need, ask for a hand, find useful resources, journal privately, or just get a little encouragement when you need it.
Give it a try and let us know what you think. We’re always working to make Lifeboat more useful for you and the people you love — and your feedback and ideas help us make it better.
