It’s unfortunate we need an app like Noonlight, but we’re also glad it’s available to us. It’s basically a silent bodyguard. If you’re walking to your car late at night, open the app and hold down the button until you’re safe. If something happens, Noonlight alerts first responders and sends your location. It also connects with the rest of your devices and easily connects you to help when you need it. If it triggers a false alarm, just text Noonlight your pin and they will confirm you’re safe.

The virtual packet allows you to mark off the pills you’ve taken, meaning you can check whether you really did take “Monday” or simply imagined it (it happens), as well as being able to visualise the month ahead.
