Daily check-ins for older parents

Call because
you want to. Not because you need to check.

I’m OK helps older parents and their loved ones agree on a simple daily check-in. Your parent checks in with one tap by a chosen time. You can see their latest check-in. If it is still missing after the waiting period, the app may try to alert you. No location tracking.

Free for iPhone · with both people’s agreement · not an emergency or medical service

An example morning

One simple check-in plan instead of a daily check-up call

“Every day after breakfast, I’ll check in by 9:30. If I still haven’t checked in by 10:00, give me a call.”
  1. By 9:30

    The person checks in with one tap

    Today’s check-in is recorded, so the loved one does not need to call just to check.

  2. 9:30–10:00

    The waiting period is still running

    There is still time to check in. The loved one does not need to do anything yet.

  3. After 10:00

    The loved one may receive an alert

    They decide whether to call, send a message or check in another way.

A missing check-in is a reason to get in touch, not evidence of danger. The person may have forgotten, be asleep, be away from their phone or have a technical problem.

How it works

Set it up once. Then one check-in each day.

Once, during setup

  1. Choose a check-in time and waiting period

    The person checking in chooses their daily deadline and how much longer to wait.

  2. Invite a loved one to the circle

    Choose the person you want to keep in touch with. Check-ins and alerts are not shared until they accept.

  3. Test notifications together

    Your loved one accepts the invitation voluntarily, and you check on both phones that everything is currently set up.

On an ordinary day

  1. One check-in

    The person checks in with one tap by their chosen time.

  2. An ordinary day stays quiet

    When the check-in arrives on time, nothing else needs to happen.

  3. A missed check-in has a clear next step

    If there is still no check-in after the waiting period, the loved one may receive an alert and decide whether to call or send a message.

Two equal roles

Each of you makes your own choice

Choose the explanation for what you will do in the app.

I’ll check in

The time, invitations and plan stay in your hands.

  • You choose the check-in time and waiting period.
  • You choose the loved one to invite to the circle.
  • The app does not continuously monitor you or use your phone’s location.
  • You can change, pause or end the plan.

I’ll receive check-ins

Everyday calls can remain real conversations.

  • You choose whether to accept the invitation and can leave the circle.
  • You do not have to be constantly available or promise a response.
  • A missing check-in is an unexplained exception, not evidence of danger.
  • You decide whether to call, send a message or check in another way.

Privacy and boundaries

A reason to get in touch. Not evidence of danger.

I’m OK helps distinguish an ordinary day from a missing check-in. It does not confirm health or actual safety.

No continuous monitoring

The app does not use the phone’s location, address book or health and fitness data.

With both people’s agreement

The person chooses a loved one. The loved one accepts the invitation for themselves. Both can stop using the app.

Clear boundaries

The app is not an emergency or medical service, does not detect falls and does not dispatch help.

The next step for both of you

Would check-ins like this make sense for both of you?

I’m OK for iPhone is available free from the App Store in Czechia. Each person creates their own account and a loved one must accept the circle invitation. Public download for Android is not available yet.

  1. Download from the App Store
  2. Each person agrees independently
  3. Invitation and a notification test together

Test notifications on both phones during setup. A successful test does not guarantee every future delivery.
