Imalive is a small product studio. We design, build, and stress-test our own apps before they ship, and we take on a handful of client builds each quarter. Two of ours are live right now: Imalive and Janus.
Most studios hand you a build and disappear. We stay through the part that actually determines whether an app survives contact with real users.
Native and cross-platform apps from spec to store submission. Fixed scope, weekly builds, no surprise invoices.
Device-farm regression, real-device QA, performance profiling, and our 340-check launch gate before release.
Store listings, review compliance, analytics wiring, and post-launch monitoring for the first 90 days.
One-tap daily check-in. Tells the people who care that you got home safe.
A decision journal that looks both ways. Log the call, then see how it actually played out.
45 minutes. We map the core loop, cut what does not matter, and quote a fixed price.
You get a running build every Friday. Nothing is hidden until the end.
Regression suite, real-device pass, performance budget, and accessibility audit. Fail means we do not ship.
Submission handled, crash monitoring live, and 90 days of on-call included with every build.
Tell us what you are making. If we are not the right studio for it, we will say so on the first call.
Two subscription apps and a small number of client engagements per quarter.
A one-tap daily check-in app. Tap once a day and your chosen circle knows you are fine. Miss a day and Imalive quietly nudges them. Built for people living alone, solo travellers, shift workers, and anyone with a parent who worries.
Named for the god who looks both ways. Janus is a decision journal: write the decision, the options you weighed, and what you expect to happen. Later, Janus asks how it went and scores your own forecasting. It is a mirror for your judgement, not another to-do list.
We take on a small number of client projects per quarter, usually one at a time. Two ways to work with us.
You already have an app. We run it through the 340-check release gate and hand you a prioritised defect report, performance profile, and store-compliance review. Two weeks.
Spec to store listing. Fixed scope, weekly builds, QA included, 90 days post-launch support. Typical timeline is 8 to 14 weeks.
All prices in USD, billed through Stripe. Cancel any time from inside the app. Every paid plan includes a 14-day money-back guarantee.
Imalive started in 2021 as two people who were tired of shipping apps that broke on real phones. We adopted one rule early and never dropped it: nothing goes to a store listing until it passes the release gate. No exceptions, no "we will fix it in the first patch".
That rule cost us clients at first. It also gave us a 99.97% crash-free rate and a 4.8 average store rating across everything we have shipped, which turns out to be a better sales pitch than speed.
We build our own products first, because it keeps us honest. Imalive is our check-in app, born from a co-founder living alone during a bad winter. Janus is our decision journal, born from a stack of notebooks full of calls that were never reviewed. Both are live, both are maintained by the same people who built them.
We run one client engagement at a time. That means you get the whole studio, not a fraction of an agency. We take a scoping call, quote a fixed price, and if the fit is wrong we say so before you spend anything.

imaliveapp.com is the website of Imalive Labs LLC, an independent app studio based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We build and test mobile apps, and we publish our own products: the Imalive check-in app and the Janus decision journal.
You tap one button once a day. Your chosen contacts see that you checked in. If you miss a day, Imalive reminds you; miss two and it escalates to your contacts. It is designed for people living alone, solo travellers, and families keeping an eye on each other.
A decision journal. You record a decision and what you expect to happen. Janus follows up later and asks how it went, then scores how well you predicted it. Over time it shows you where your judgement is strong and where it is not.
Both apps have a free tier. Imalive Plus is $4.99 per month and Imalive Family is $9.99 per month. Janus Pro is $6.99 per month. Annual billing is available at roughly two months free. All prices are in USD.
All payments are handled by Stripe. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Apple Pay. We never see or store your full card number.
Yes. Cancel from the account screen in the app, or email billing@imaliveapp.com. Cancelling stops the next renewal. You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for.
Full refund within 14 days of any charge, no reason needed, and unused annual time is refunded pro rata. Full details are on our refund policy page.
No. We do not sell or rent personal data. We use a small set of processors for hosting, payments, and crash reporting. Details are in the privacy policy.
Yes, from both apps, as Markdown and CSV. Ask support if you want a full account export and we will send it within five business days.
Yes, on a limited basis. We run one client engagement at a time. A launch audit is $2,400 one-time; full builds start at $14,000. Start with a scoping call through the contact page.

Email hello@imaliveapp.com for anything, or billing@imaliveapp.com for payment matters. Phone support is available Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm Mountain.
These terms form a binding agreement between you and Imalive Labs LLC, a New Mexico limited liability company trading as imaliveapp.com ("we", "us", "our"). They cover your use of the imaliveapp.com website, the Imalive app, the Janus app, and any related services (together, the "services").
By creating an account, starting a subscription, or using the services, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the services. If you are using the services for a company, you confirm you have authority to bind that company.
You must be at least 13 years old to create an account, and at least 18 to purchase a paid plan. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity under your account. Give us accurate information and keep it current.
Paid plans are billed in advance, in US dollars, on a monthly or annual basis. Current prices are listed on our pricing page and may change with at least 30 days notice. Price changes take effect at your next renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date.
Payments are processed by Stripe. By subscribing you authorise us and Stripe to charge your chosen payment method on a recurring basis. Applicable New Mexico gross receipts and sales tax is calculated at checkout based on your billing address. If a charge fails, we may retry it and may suspend access until payment succeeds.
You may cancel at any time from the account screen in the app or by emailing billing@imaliveapp.com. Cancellation stops future renewals; access continues until the end of the paid period. Refunds are governed by our refund policy, which forms part of these terms.
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the apps on devices you control, for your own non-commercial use. Client builds may carry separate licence terms set out in the applicable statement of work.
You own the check-ins, decisions, notes, and other content you put into the apps. You grant us the limited licence needed to store, sync, back up, and display that content to you and, where you choose, to the contacts you nominate. You can export your content at any time.
We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. We may modify, add, or retire features. If we discontinue a paid feature you rely on, we will give reasonable notice and refund any unused prepaid time where appropriate.
Imalive is a convenience tool. It is not a medical device, a monitored alarm service, or a substitute for emergency services. Missed-day escalation depends on network availability and on your contacts responding. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
The services are provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability arising out of or relating to the services is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for lost profits or lost data.
You may stop using the services at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these terms, if required by law, or if your account is inactive and unpaid. On termination, your licence ends; your data remains exportable for 30 days unless you ask us to delete it sooner.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Mexico, without regard to conflict of law rules. The state and federal courts located in Bernalillo County, New Mexico have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence.
We may update these terms. Material changes will be announced in the app or by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use after that date means you accept the updated terms.

We collect the minimum needed to run the apps. We do not sell your personal data. You can export or delete it at any time. This policy explains what we collect, why, and who we share it with.
Imalive Labs LLC, 500 Marquette Ave NW, Suite 600, Albuquerque, NM 87102, United States, is the data controller for the services. Privacy questions go to privacy@imaliveapp.com.
We do not collect precise location continuously. If you enable it for a feature, you can turn it off at any time.
Where GDPR applies, we rely on contract performance for providing the service, legitimate interests for security, diagnostics, and product improvement, legal obligation for tax and accounting records, and consent for optional marketing emails.
We share data only with processors acting on our instructions:
Your nominated contacts see only what is necessary: whether you checked in, and an escalation notice if you miss days. They do not see your Janus content. We do not sell or rent personal data to anyone.
Our processors may store data in the United States and the European Union. Where data leaves the EEA or UK, we rely on the UK and EU Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision.
You may access, correct, export, or delete your data, object to or restrict certain processing, and withdraw consent. Email privacy@imaliveapp.com and we will respond within 30 days. If you are in California, you also have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know and the right to delete; we do not sell personal information as defined there. If you are in the EU or UK you may complain to your local supervisory authority.
Data is encrypted in transit with TLS and encrypted at rest. Access to production systems is limited and uses multi-factor authentication. No system is perfectly secure, but we test and patch deliberately.
The services are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from them.
The website uses only essential cookies and local storage for session and preference handling. There are no third-party advertising cookies on this site.
We will post any changes here and update the date above. Material changes will be announced in the app or by email.
privacy@imaliveapp.com, or by post to Imalive Labs LLC, 500 Marquette Ave NW, Suite 600, Albuquerque, NM 87102, United States.
Cancel any time. Full refund within 14 days of any charge, no reason needed. Unused annual time refunded pro rata. You never have to argue with us about it.
Two ways: open the account screen in the app and tap cancel, or email billing@imaliveapp.com from your account email address. If you email, include your account email and, if you have it, the Stripe receipt number. We confirm cancellation within one business day.
Email billing@imaliveapp.com with the word "refund" in the subject, your account email, and the date of the charge. We process approved refunds within 3 business days. Your bank may take a further 5 to 10 business days to show the credit.
Duplicate charges are always refunded in full. If a renewal fails and you were charged twice in error, we fix it the same day. Failed charges may be retried automatically; you can update your card from the billing portal.
The free tiers of Imalive and Janus involve no charge, so there is nothing to refund. Downgrading to free takes effect at the end of the current paid period.
Refunds are normally returned to the original payment method through Stripe. If that is impossible, for example because the card has been closed, we will arrange an alternative. Chargebacks are honoured; if you file one we will not also refuse a direct refund.
Nothing here reduces rights you have under mandatory consumer law in your country. EU and UK consumers have a 14-day right of withdrawal for digital services; by starting to use a paid feature you consent to immediate performance, and if you withdraw within 14 days you are refunded in full.
