How proxigenta works

The full loop: your device checks in every 5 minutes, silence triggers a check-in email, and only then does your action plan alert your contacts.

Proxigenta watches for one thing: your device going silent. A small menu bar agent on your Mac checks in every 5 minutes. When check-ins stop for longer than your outage threshold (12 minutes by default, adjustable from 5 minutes to 24 hours), proxigenta treats you as offline.

Before anyone else is involved, you get a check-in email and push notification with an “I'm online” link. If you do not respond within your check-in window, your action plan alerts your contacts, with calm, factual messages you can edit word for word. When your connection returns, or you confirm you are fine, everyone who was alerted gets an automatic all-clear.

Diagram of the proxigenta loop: five-minute check-ins, the outage threshold, the check-in email to you, action plan alerts, and the automatic all-clear — The whole loop, end to end.

The design principle throughout: a false alert is annoying, but a missed real outage is the one failure that matters. When proxigenta is unsure, it errs toward telling someone.

What proxigenta is not

It is not surveillance. It never sees what you do on your device, only whether the device is reachable. It never shares your precise location, browsing, files, or calendar details with anyone.
