One connected journey

A small device.
A clear picture.

A compatible Thingy runs Lifeline firmware, gathers location information and sends it through its own cellular connection. Lifeline turns those reports into a useful view for the people you authorize.

01 / LOCATE

It finds its place.

GNSS provides outdoor positioning. Nearby Wi-Fi observations help build a private fallback map where satellite reception is limited.

02 / CONNECT

Cellular carries it.

The tracker sends reports over a compatible SIM and data plan. It doesn’t need a nearby parent’s phone to upload.

03 / UNDERSTAND

Context comes together.

Lifeline records location, timing and device health. Motion helps guide when the tracker works and when it rests.

04 / CHECK IN

A glance on your phone.

The iPhone app brings the latest report, journey history and useful notifications together in one calm place.

Your everyday companion

The details you need.
Room to breathe.

The Lifeline iPhone app is built around a simple question: what do I need to know right now?

Location with context

See how recent a report is and how certain the location is.

The journey, together

Follow the day’s route and share access with another caregiver.

Useful signals

Alerts for arrivals, departures and tracker battery health.

Free companion app for iPhone

Make it yours

Two ways to
get connected.

Lifeline is built around supported hardware running our firmware. Whether you need a tracker or already have a Thingy, let’s start with the right setup.

Starting fresh

A configured tracker.

Tell us what you need. We can discuss compatible hardware, cellular service and getting a tracker configured for Lifeline.

Ask about a tracker ↗
Already have the hardware?

Bring your Thingy.

Have a Nordic Thingy:91 X? Contact us about installing Lifeline firmware, provisioning your device and compatible cellular plans.

Discuss your setup ↗

The iPhone app is free. Hardware and monitoring purchases are arranged through our website. Availability, service terms and compatible cellular coverage are confirmed individually before purchase.

A few good questions.

Does the tracker need a nearby iPhone?

No. The tracker uses its own compatible cellular SIM and data plan to report to Lifeline. Cellular coverage is required for uploads; reports may be delayed when coverage is unavailable.

Can I use a Thingy I already own?

That’s the idea. A supported Thingy:91 X running Lifeline firmware can connect after individual device provisioning. Standard Nordic demonstration firmware will not connect to Lifeline. Contact us before changing firmware so we can confirm compatibility and setup.

How does location work indoors?

GNSS works best with a clear view of the sky. Lifeline can use a private Wi-Fi map built from observations correlated with known GNSS locations as a fallback. That map needs to learn a place first, and a Wi-Fi estimate can be broad or unavailable. A last known position is never a guarantee of a current position.

How do I get started?

Contact us through this website to discuss a configured tracker or provisioning your existing Thingy:91 X. Hardware and monitoring are purchased through the website; the iPhone app is free. We’ll confirm your setup, cellular coverage and service terms before purchase.

Who can see a tracker’s location?

Lifeline is for authorized users and the caregivers they invite. Account sign-in and family access controls protect each tracker’s information. Track people only with appropriate knowledge, permission and authority. See our privacy notice for how the service handles information.

Let’s find your setup.
