Check-ins

Ask with one tap. Hear back in seconds.

Request a Check-in whenever you want to hear from them. They answer with a tap, their location, and a note if they like. No calls, no guessing.

Free at launch. No credit card. iOS, November 15, 2026.

What comes back

Two things, and both land in your log.

Your family member gets a push notification, taps once, and the answer shows up in their activity log on your phone.

  • Where they are

    Their current location on a map in your app, accurate to the phone's capability.

  • A note, if they like

    A short message for context. At the library with Jake. On my way home. Just left practice.

The signature move

One Check-in. One new Place.

When a Check-in comes from somewhere you haven't named, tap the plus next to it and that exact spot becomes a Place. Trevor's house, the coffee shop, the volleyball gym. From then on, every arrival there is reported by name, and you never had to open a map.
