User-Driven Innovation: Helping Demumu.co Web Platform Evolve

LOS ANGELES, CA, January 16, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Demumu.co Launches Web Platform: The Viral "Anti-Loneliness" Safety Tool Breaks the Device Barrier

Key Highlights:
Universal Access: The viral safety app (formerly "Are You Dead?") expands from iOS to a fully functional web platform accessible on any browser.

Seamless Workflow: Designed for digital nomads and desktop-heavy users who require cross-platform safety check-ins.

Proven Track Record: Featured in BBC, Wired, and Reuters with over 100,000 downloads and a 4.3-star rating.

Demumu, also known as "Are You Dead" or "sileme", the personal safety application that sparked a global conversation on solitary living, today announces its major expansion to the web.

The app, 'Are You Dead?' or Demumu, notifies the user's contacts if they fail to check in regularly.

"We received thousands of messages from users who loved the iOS experience but needed flexibility," said Mr. Guo.

By launching a fully responsive desktop version at Demumu.co, the company is breaking the "device barrier" to ensure safety tools are accessible to everyone, everywhere—regardless of their operating system.

The 'Why': Enhancing the Solo Living Experience
Originally launching as an iOS exclusive, Demumu quickly became a staple for users living alone, climbing the charts as the top paid utility app in multiple countries.

However, user feedback highlighted a critical gap: the need for safety verification during the workday.

"Our users aren't just on their phones; they are writers, developers, and remote workers who spend their days on desktop," said the product team.

"The expansion to the web was driven by the necessity for a seamless desktop-to-mobile workflow, ensuring that a dead phone battery doesn't equate to a missed safety check-in."

Key Features of the Web Platform
The new web interface maintains the "dead simple" minimalist aesthetic that made the mobile app a viral success, while optimizing for a desktop environment:

Cross-Platform Sync: Check in on your iPhone in the morning and verify your safety from your laptop browser at night.

Premium UI/UX: The web version retains the high-fidelity, distraction-free interface found on iOS, ensuring no loss in quality.

Universal Accessibility: Now available to Android, Windows, Mac and Linux users via Chrome, Safari, or Edge.

Automatic Emergency Alerts: Missed consecutive check-ins trigger immediate email notification to designated contacts

Silent Monitoring: Runs discreetly in a browser tab, allowing for non-intrusive safety monitoring during deep work sessions.

Trusted by Millions, Verified by Media
Demumu's unique approach to personal safety—requiring users to "check in" every 48 hours or trigger an emergency alert—has been widely recognized for addressing the "quiet anxiety" of modern living.

The app's rise from a niche tool to a cultural phenomenon has been documented by major news outlets:

Wired explored the cultural impact of the app's blunt approach to mortality in their feature, "China's 'Are You Dead Yet?' App."

Reuters highlighted our explosive growth in "Viral App for Single Living Goes Global," noting the surge in popularity across Asia and the US.

BBC News discussed our role in the "loneliness economy" and the peace of mind we provide to verified users.

With over 100,000 downloads and a consistent 4.3-star rating, Demumu has proven that a simple "Are you okay?" can be a lifeline.

A Vision for Universal Safety
"We started this project because we realized that living alone shouldn't mean being invisible," said Mr. Guo, Co-Founder of Demumu. "

Moving forward, Demumu will uphold its mission by bringing Chinese safety innovations to the world to serve solitary users globally.

By bringing Demumu to the web, we are removing the friction of hardware. Safety should be platform-agnostic. Whether you are on a phone in the subway or a laptop in a cafe, your safety net is active."

What Our Early Web Testers Say
Real feedback from our beta program confirms the impact of the web expansion:
"I work on my laptop for 10 hours a day. Being able to tap the check-in button on my second monitor without picking up my phone has completely streamlined my workflow. It feels like a natural part of my day now."
— Sarah J., Freelance Designer

"Finally! I switched to Android last year and missed this app. The web version is just as smooth as the iOS app I remember."
— David L., Remote Developer

Growing Together with Our Community
"We are proud to bring Demumu to the web, but we also recognize there is always room to grow.

Our team is working around the clock to refine the user interface and add new functionalities. We welcome—and rely on—your honest feedback.

Every suggestion from our users helps us build a more reliable safety net, and we promise to listen, learn, and evolve with every update."
