I’ll receive check-ins
Call because you want to. Not because you need to check.
The person who invites you to their circle checks in each day with one tap. If there is still no check-in after the waiting period, the app may try to alert you as their loved one. You decide what to do next.
No location tracking · no round-the-clock duty · with both people’s voluntary agreement
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 the person has checked in through the app. It does not confirm their health or actual safety.
An example day
When you can carry on with your day, and when it makes sense to get in touch
-
By 9:30
The person checks in
They use the large button on their phone to check in for today.
-
An ordinary day
You do not need to check
You can see the check-in in the circle. When it arrives on time, nothing else needs to happen.
-
After 10:00
You may receive an alert
You decide whether to call, send a message or check in another way.
A missing check-in alone does not mean danger. The person may have forgotten, be asleep, be away from their phone or have a technical problem.
Your choice
What stays in your hands
- You choose whether to accept the circle invitation, and you test notifications together first.
- You decide whether to call, send a message or check in another way.
- You do not have to be available around the clock, and accepting an invitation does not promise a response.
- You can leave the circle and stop using the app at any time.
- The app does not use your phone’s location or continuously monitor anyone.
The choices of the person checking in
Their time, sharing and plan remain theirs.
They choose their check-in time, waiting period and the loved ones they invite. They can change, pause or end the plan.
Before accepting an invitation, 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 receiving check-ins 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 an invitation, leave the circle or take more time to decide.
Would you like to agree on a routine with an older parent?
Read the family explanation and shared setup guide. They explain what your parent controls, what you see and how to agree on a next step if a check-in is missing.
