How it works

What a good emergency app has to do when you live alone

Three things decide what happens in a real emergency: that someone notices when something is off — that this person actually knows you — and that the message arrives without detours. Corlo covers exactly those three points, without turning your home into a tech hub.

Quick daily check-in

Once a day, you confirm with one tap that everything is okay.

Automatic message

If the check-in is missed, your chosen contact is informed automatically.

No extra hurdles

No account, no smart home system, and no complicated tech to manage.

What matters most

A good emergency app answers three questions immediately.

Who gets informed, when are they informed, and what exactly do they receive? Those three answers are what make Corlo understandable and reliable when it matters.

  • You choose your emergency contact yourself — Corlo does not assign one

  • Before every alert, the server runs a final check to confirm no late check-in arrived

  • The alert email includes your name, optional phone number, address, and personal message

For people living alone, clarity matters more than technical complexity.

  • For singles and seniors alike

    Corlo works for anyone who lives alone — regardless of age or technical background.

  • No US cloud service in the alert path

    Database, email, and SMS run through EU or German providers. The only US services are Apple and Google for app distribution.

Why that builds trust

A good emergency app has to feel clear, dignified, and unobtrusive. That is exactly what Corlo is designed for.

Clear reminder logic
Automatic notification only after a missed check-in
Servers in Frankfurt
No ad trackers
No unnecessary mandatory details

For people living alone, the key question is simple: will someone know if something goes wrong?

Facts about living alone

How often does an emergency at home actually happen when you live alone?

Living alone is no longer a special case in Germany — and that is exactly why a simple safety routine matters to so many people. According to the Federal Statistical Office, there are around 17 million single-person households in Germany, roughly 42 percent of all private households. At the same time, the chance of a fall at home rises with age: a 2022 health survey by the Robert Koch Institute found that about one in four people aged 65 and older reported at least one fall in the previous twelve months — one in ten reported several. The risk that such an emergency goes unnoticed for a long time is not theoretical. Records from the Berlin Institute of Forensic Medicine show that around 300 people are found dead in their own homes in Berlin every year without anyone having missed them — in some cases only after weeks or months. Forensic experts assume that the actual number, especially in anonymous urban neighbourhoods, is significantly higher. Corlo does not solve any of this on its own. But the gap in which someone stays unnoticed for days can be closed by a single daily check-in.
