Vizit

A simple check-in timer for people who work alone.

Vizit is a simple safety check-in timer for people who visit clients or work alone: carers, nurses, estate and letting agents, tradespeople, social workers and drivers. Before a solo visit you set a finish time. When you're done, you check in. If you go quiet and the time runs out, Vizit prepares a text message to your chosen contact with your location, ready to send with one tap. There's no account to create, nothing to install from an app store (it runs in any phone browser and can be added to the home screen), and your visit details stay on your phone. Vizit does not call emergency services; in an emergency, always call your local emergency number. The first 3 visits are free, then it's £2.99 a month with no contract.

Best for: People who visit clients alone, including those meeting clients away from an office.

Vizit is free to start, with paid plans from 3.98/month.
