This isn't really meant to save anyone's life. But it would let someone know to come pick up your corpse before it melts into the carpet and your cat starves.

Literally just a dead man's switch.

You can request mail carriers to do this in a lot of places. Usually a service for elderly people who are living alone. If the mail carrier notices the mail isn't getting taken out of the box they will have a process to alert someone to check in.

It is a public service provided at no (low?) cost which merely formalizes an act of basic human decency. It is not gonna make anybody rich.

This is truly shitty, nice work.

Wake up early, forget to unset the alarm, and leave for an early start at the office.

The number of false calls it would generate is so high lol.

A mobile app to control it remotely could help. The app could even require access to your contact list for some reason.

Good news cuz the cat will just eat your corpse, which will eliminate some of the melting and delay them starving

This is a place to pitch goofy million dollar ideas that you had in the shower, as you were falling asleep, or during a fever dream. Think of it is as shitty Shark Tank.
