- 🆕A Dead Mens Switch first spotted by AppInsiderUnited States (found via developer)
- 📦A Dead Mens Switch version 2.4.0v2.4.0 — More flexibility, more reliability.
LONGER INTERVALS
You can now set your check-in interval up to 30 days. Two new options join the picker: 2 weeks and 30 days. Useful for solo travel, long expeditions, or
anyone whose routine doesn't fit a weekly cadence.
RELIABILITY FIXES (from real customer reports)
• Your streak now resets correctly the moment a missed check-in triggers an alert. Previously a quirk in our database update kept the streak counting past
missed alerts.
• Snoozing now sets your deadline cleanly to the snooze duration from now, regardless of how much time was left on the clock. Previously a snooze while
time remained could push the next deadline well past your interval.
• Notification emails now render correctly in Gmail and Apple Mail when those clients force light mode. Previously dark-theme styles could appear as faint
gray text on white.
• Improved email deliverability to iCloud and Gmail. Added SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication on the sending domain, plus one-click List-Unsubscribe and
stable Message-IDs. Fewer legitimate alerts will land in spam.

A Dead Mens Switch downloads
Worldwide, per day, and installs to date. The band is open; the exact number is free with an account.
How this is calculated
Apple publishes no download counts. App Store downloads come from chart positions and daily rating growth per country, calibrated on Google Play install counts; lifetime installs from ratings worldwide × installs per rating. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.
Active users
All platforms, worldwide. Free with an account.
Stickiness (DAU / MAU)
how many monthly users open it on a given day
How this is calculated
Monthly users come from lifetime installs across every store, fitted on monthly active user figures companies publish; daily users = monthly × the typical daily/monthly ratio for the category. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.

Review momentum
20/100
faster than 0% of Lifestyle apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
