Setting Up Finch Q for the First Time
Step 1: Enter Your Details

Step 2: Grant Permissions
Finch Q requires certain permissions to function optimally. Do not skip any of the permissions requested during setup. These permissions allow Finch Q to access the necessary data to monitor your health and safety effectively. Watch a quick tutorial HERE. Rest assured, Finch Q takes your privacy very seriously.

Two Musts for Best Safety with Finch Q
1. Add Finch Q Widget/Complication to Every Watch Face you use
To ensure Finch Q operates continuously in the background, it’s essential to add the Finch Q widget or complication to every watch face you wear. This keeps Finch Q active, monitoring your movements and health data even when you’re not directly using the app. It’s a small step that makes a big difference in maintaining your safety.

2. Add at Least One Member to Your Personal Team
One of Finch Q’s most powerful features is the ability to notify a trusted person if something goes wrong. Adding at least one member to your Personal Team is crucial, especially if you live alone, have vision or hearing impairments, or are not very comfortable with technology. This ensures that someone else will be informed if there’s an issue, providing an additional layer of security and peace of mind.
Why These Steps Are Important
- Continuous Operation: The Finch Q widget ensures the app continues to monitor your health and movements without interruption. This is particularly vital for detecting potential falls or health anomalies promptly.
- Personal Team Notification: Having a Personal Team member means there’s always someone who will know if something’s wrong. This is not just for emergencies but also for situations where you might not notice an alert or be able to respond quickly.
Set It and Forget It
The beauty of Finch Q is in its simplicity. Once you’ve set it up and followed these essential steps, Finch Q works quietly in the background, monitoring your health and ensuring your safety. This “set it and forget it” approach means you can go about your day with confidence, knowing that Finch Q is there to support you.
Finch Q is designed to be a reliable companion, enhancing your safety and peace of mind. By entering your details, granting necessary permissions, and adding the widget and a Personal Team member, you’re setting up Finch Q to provide the best protection possible. Remember, Finch Q is here to make your life easier and safer, so you can focus on living your life to the fullest.
