Which fits your needs?

For a daily check-in

I’m OK

You want a simple daily habit and the time of the last check-in. You do not need location or phone-movement information; the parent chooses when to check in and whom to invite.

Current availability

Consider

Life360

You both want a shared map, arrival and departure information, or a view of phone activity. Check which features are available in your country. [1][2][3]

What mattersI’m OKLife360
Daily check-ins Offered
A recurring daily time, a reminder and a one-tap check-in.
 Limited scope
Manual check-ins share location with a Circle. The optional morning activity view reflects phone movement, not an intentional daily confirmation. [4][2]
Missing check-in alerts Offered
After the waiting period, the app may try to alert a loved one who accepted the invitation. They decide how to follow up.
 Limited scope
Place Alerts for arrivals and departures. No Show Alerts flag a missed arrival at a selected place and time; check local availability. [1][5]
Location sharing Not offered
No location tracking. A loved one sees the last shared check-in and its time.
 Offered
Location powers the shared map. Sharing is opt-in and members can turn it off. [6]

Phone movement and a check-in tell you different things

Life360 also has Activity Sharing and a morning activity view, so a map-only comparison would be incomplete. Those signals come from phone movement. For a family, it helps to distinguish detected activity from a parent deliberately checking in at an agreed time. [2]
