🤝 In the field
In the field: a pacted "I'm okay."
You set the rhythm: every day, every three days, every week, or every two. They stop asking and you stop feeling watched. If more than double the agreed window passes without a word, they see it on their screen. No alarms, no calls.
Six months away feel shorter when there's something every week that keeps you connected. Mi Estela doesn't store your exact location—just city and country. And it doesn't promise you security: your organization is who keeps you safe, not an app. What we do is let the folks back home know you're okay, at whatever pace you choose.
All of this already works
What Estela does for you in the field
Here everything that matters is free. Always. Saying you're okay, that you've arrived, and asking for help will never cost a thing. Right now there's nothing paid at all: it's entirely yours.
I'm okay
You set the rhythm: every day, every three days, every week, or every two. They stop asking and you stop feeling watched.
If the window passes
If you go more than double the agreed time without saying anything, your people see it on their screen. No alarms, no calls—they just see it, so they can reach out.
Good time to call
What time it is where you are and what time it is back home. A six-hour difference breaks more conversations than you'd think.

Your field coordinator's phone number, saved where you can find it fast.
The Thread with your people
Six months away feel shorter when there's something every week that keeps you connected: a question, a photo, a voice.
What we DON'T do
We don't store your exact location—just city and country. And we don't promise you security: your organization is who keeps you safe, not an app.
We answer your questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you store my exact location?
No. Just city and country. That's a deliberate choice—so nobody has to trust us with something we don't even need.
