A new paid app called "Are You Dead?" or "Dead Yet?" has surged to the top of China's charts, targeted at young people living alone in major cities, who fear dying without anyone realizing.
Launched in May 2025, the app requires users to check in every two days by tapping a large on-screen button to confirm they are alive. If they fail to do so, the app automatically alerts a chosen emergency contact that something may be wrong.
