Field notes
Setup starts with an invite link sent by message or an in-person QR pairing; the invited person accepts on iPhone, after which their watch checks in while worn. The interface distinguishes pulse confirmed, checked in, paused, and no recent signal; it explicitly says silence should not be interpreted as bad news. The site also says setup requires no email, phone number, or password.
