Scheduled check-ins
Choose when you plan to check in again and update or stop the timer whenever plans change.
Check In for everyday wellbeing
A small daily signal. Reassurance for the people who care.
Set a simple timer for later today or tomorrow and check in when everything is fine. If the check-in is missed, only the people chosen by the user are notified.
The challenge
Staying connected without giving up independence
People living alone may want family to notice an unusual break in routine, but frequent calls can feel intrusive. A predictable check-in creates a calm shared expectation.
