Apps I Mentioned On Radio
Today on FIVEaa I mentioned 2 apps
The “Are You Dead?” app (also known as Demumu) is basically a personal safety check-in tool—despite the dark name.
Here’s the simple version:
You set up an emergency contact (family or friend)
The app asks you to check in regularly (tap a button to confirm you’re alive)
If you don’t check in for a set time (usually a couple of days), it automatically alerts your contact that something might be wrong.
Why it exists:
It’s aimed mainly at people who live alone and worry that if something happens to them, no one would notice. It’s become popular because more people are living solo and want that extra layer of reassurance.
Bottom line:
It’s essentially a digital “are you OK?” welfare check—simple idea, slightly grim branding.
Google AI Edge Eloquent
Google AI Edge Eloquent is basically a voice-to-text app with built-in AI editing—but with a twist.
Here’s the simple explanation:
You speak into your phone, and it transcribes your speech in real time
Then it cleans it up automatically—removes “ums,” fixes sentences, and turns it into proper written text
It can also rewrite what you said (shorter, longer, more formal, or bullet points)
What makes it different:
It works offline on your device (no internet needed, better for privacy)
It’s free with no subscription or limits
It focuses on what you meant, not just what you said—more like an editor than a recorder
Bottom line:
It’s a smart dictation tool—you talk, and it turns your rough speech into polished, ready-to-use text.
