DailyCheck: Family Check-In

One tap a day tells the people you chose that you are okay. DailyCheck is for families who live apart. The person who checks in opens the app, or answers the reminder they set themselves, and taps once. The people they picked see it on their own iPhone, privately, through iCloud. Nobody else does. The tap says "I'm okay". On a different sort of day the other two choices are "I'd like a call" and "I could use help". A note or a photo can go with it, or a voice note, or nothing at all. For family, the latest check-in comes first, shown in the sender's own local time, so a morning check-in from Lisbon still reads as morning when you are in Boston. You can see when a connection is ready but the first check-in has not arrived yet, and how long it has been since someone last checked in. Shared updates keep the appointments and practical requests both sides chose to share in one place. Sharing with up to four people costs nothing, and neither do the check-ins, the notes, the voice notes or the photos. Family members see current check-ins and 90 days of history without paying anything. DailyCheck has no account to create and no server of its own. Your check-ins travel through private CloudKit sharing, from your iCloud account to the accounts of the people you chose. There is no advertising, no analytics, no SMS service and no location tracking, and DailyCheck never scores anyone's wellbeing. Everything it holds about you can be exported from Settings, and Delete everything removes it all, after each person's access has been stopped first. A quiet day means DailyCheck has no check-in for that day. It does not raise an alarm, and it does not mean something is wrong. DailyCheck is not an emergency service. It is a small daily habit between people who care about each other.
