Knockk – Daily Safety Check-in App With Emergency Alerts

IMPORTANT – Firebase Blaze plan required: this app relies on Firebase Cloud Functions for its alert engine, invite redemption and guest access. Deploying Cloud Functions requires your Firebase project to be on the paid Blaze (pay-as-you-go) plan. You must upgrade your own Firebase project to Blaze before the backend can be deployed – the free Spark plan is not sufficient.

Knockk is a complete daily safety check-in application built with Flutter and Firebase. Users set a daily check-in time, tap one button to confirm they are safe, and if they miss a check-in, their emergency contacts and Safety Circle are alerted automatically. It is ideal for families, elderly care, lone workers and anyone living alone.

Demo Instructions

Knockk is a Firebase-powered template. For security reasons, all Firebase configuration files ship as clearly marked placeholders – you must connect your own (free) Firebase project before running the app. No demo account credentials are included because the backend is yours to create. The full walkthrough is in documentation.html (Configuration section): create a Firebase project, enable Email/Password sign-in, create a Firestore database, run flutterfire configure, drop in the generated config files and deploy the included Cloud Functions. Setup takes roughly 15 minutes and requires the Firebase Blaze plan for Cloud Functions. Until configured, the app launches to its welcome and authentication screens.

Everything the App Does

Animated splash screen with brand logo
Welcome screen with login and signup entry points
Email and password authentication (Firebase Auth)
Google Sign-In and Sign In with Apple support
Terms and privacy consent screen with accept tracking
Multi-step profile onboarding: name, age, phone with country selector, country and city
Profile completion guards – the router walks new users through setup step by step
Emergency contact setup: multiple contacts, relationship types, preferred alert method (SMS, email or both)
Daily check-in time picker with timezone-aware scheduling
Home dashboard with live status card: “All good” after check-in, “Time to check in” when pending
One-tap “I’m Okay!” check-in button with haptic feedback
Free plan limited to 1 check-in per day; Premium and Family plans unlimited
Check-in records keyed by userId plus local date – yesterday never counts as today (timezone-safe logic)
Automatic local daily reminder notifications at the user’s chosen time
Missed check-in alert engine running on Cloud Functions: 15-minute scheduler scan, grace period, then emergency contact alerts
Alert history screen: reminders, grace-period warnings and missed check-in alerts with delivery status
Check-in history timeline with the past week of activity
Safety Circle: invite members by email or invite code, send and receive connection requests, accept or decline
