Plerts Picks Up Where You Leave Off

You have a busy life trying to balance work, family, social, and personal pursuits. As your children mature into young adults, they will be faced with pressures from peers, driving home late from parties, meeting “new friends” from online websites, traveling abroad, and countless college adventures.

Pulses For Peace Of Mind

Plerts’ Pulses can periodically request your teenager (or spouse) to check in every hour, every day, or just once a week. Checking in is as simple as replying to an email, but should they fail to do so then an alert is sent to you and a safety net of contacts over email, SMS, or posted publicly to Facebook and/or Twitter.

Watchdogs Keep An Eye Out

Plerts’ Watchdogs can be activated privately by your teenager for those times when they are concerned about possible risks, but don’t want to create panic or reveal what they are doing. An alert is never sent to you or their safety net unless they fail to check back in.

Emergency Alerts Are Free

We care about your family and provide our mobile software for the iPhone and iPod Touch for free, giving your entire family access to Plerts unique, one-touch emergency alert.

When it comes to privacy between a you and your teens, opinions are mixed as to where to draw the line. Many teens announce their adolescence with a dramatic change in behavior seeking more independence from parental oversight. Plerts does not violate their privacy unless there’s an emergency, and this makes your job easier requiring they use a service that may one day save their life.

Plerts supports any SMS-enable mobile phone when used in conjunction with our Facebook or web application. Plerts for the iPhone and iPod Touch is currently the best and most complete experience; Android and BlackBerry support is coming soon.
