I’ll check in
You decide when to check in and whom to invite.
Set your check-in time and waiting period. Check in each day with one tap. If there is still no check-in after the waiting period, the app may try to alert the loved one you invited.
No location tracking · you can pause your plan · you can change your consent at any time
At a glance
“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.”
A tap confirms that you have checked in through the app. It does not confirm your health or actual safety, and does not give anyone the right to monitor you continuously.
An example day
One brief check-in that you control
-
By 9:30
Check in with one tap
Open the app and use the large “I’m OK” button.
-
An ordinary day
Nothing else needs to happen
Only loved ones who have accepted your invitation can see your check-in.
-
After 10:00
Your loved one may get in touch
If the check-in is still missing, the app may try to alert them. They choose what to do next.
Forgetting, sleeping, being away from your phone or having a technical problem are common reasons for a missing check-in. It does not mean danger on its own.
Your choice
What stays in your hands
- You choose the time by which you want to check in each day.
- You choose which loved one to invite to your circle.
- The invited person needs to accept for themselves and test notifications on their phone.
- You decide what is shared. The app does not use your phone’s location.
- You can change, pause or end your check-in plan.
Your loved one’s role
They choose whether to accept.
Your loved one may receive an alert and use their own judgment to get in touch. They do not have to be constantly available or promise to respond every time.
Before setup, discuss what you both expect from check-ins and what everyday next step makes sense for both of you.
What you need to know
A missing expected check-in does not mean something has happened. The app may try to alert a loved one in the circle. They decide whether to call or get in touch another way.
The I’m OK app is not an emergency service, medical device, fall detector or replacement for professional care. It does not continuously monitor anyone or dispatch assistance. Reminders and alerts may be delayed or fail to arrive. There is no guarantee that a loved one will see or respond to an alert.
In immediate danger in the Czech Republic, call 112 or 155 and do not wait for the app or support.
Does checking in this way make sense for you?
Read the terms independently. Each person creates their own account in the free iPhone version. A loved one must accept the circle invitation for themselves. Test notifications together during the first setup.
It is fine to decline, pause or take more time to decide.
Do you live alone and want to check in your own way?
You can explore the app with your adult children or another loved one. The shared guide helps prepare both phones; you remain in control of the time and invitations.
