Your support circle,
set up in a few minutes.

The people who love you keep saying “let me know if you need anything.” A support circle is how you answer that — before the day you can’t.

How to set one up

1. Add the people you'd want beside you

Open Settings, then Support circle, and add a name, mobile number, and how you know each other. Two or three people is plenty to start — a partner, a sister, a doula, the friend who always answers.

2. They confirm by text

Each person gets one text with a link explaining what they're agreeing to. Nothing else is ever sent until they tap "I agree." If they don't, they simply never hear from us again.

3. One tap reaches them

On a hard day you don't have to find the words. Tap once and everyone who opted in gets a short, clear text telling them to check on you — and how.

4. You stay in control

See who's opted in, who's pending, and whether each text was delivered. Remove anyone, any time. They can reply STOP and they're out immediately.

What lands on their phone

Two messages, in plain language, from your Tetherwell number.

The invitation

Tetherwell: Hi Maya, someone added you as an emergency support contact on Tetherwell. If you’re willing to be texted if they’re in crisis, tap: tetherhealth.io/consent/… Msg & data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to opt out.

An alert, only if you send one

URGENT: Jordan used Tetherwell to reach out — they’re going through a hard moment and asked to loop you in. Please call or text them if you can. If they’re in immediate danger, call 911 or 988.

Questions people ask first

Who should I add?: People who can actually show up — not the ones you feel obligated to include. A good test: would you be relieved or embarrassed if they knocked on your door tonight?
What will they receive?: One invitation text, and after that only the alerts you send. No newsletters, no automated check-ins, no marketing. Message frequency depends entirely on you.
Do they need the app?: No. Everything reaches them by plain text message. They never create an account or download anything.
What if someone changes their mind?: They reply STOP and they're removed from all texts right away. You'll see their status change in your circle.
Is my information shared?: Your contacts' numbers are used to text them and nothing else. We don't sell or share phone numbers. See the SMS consent policy and Privacy Policy for the full detail.

You’ve labored enough.

Add two people today. Future you, on a much harder day, will be glad they’re already there.
