Check In Together helps people who live alone, and the people who care about them, stay connected with simple, regular check-ins.
FOR A PARENT WHO LIVES ALONE
They get a short call from an AI voice, or a text, once a day at the time you set for them. They don't need the app or a smartphone, just a mobile number that can get texts.
Nothing starts until they reply YES to our text, which tells them the check-ins are automated and use AI, and that you can read what they say and an AI summary. They can reply STOP anytime.
If a call or text goes unanswered, we try again a few more times that day, as long as a contact who agreed can be alerted. With the default settings, if a check-in is still unanswered an hour after its time, we text your contacts who agreed to get alerts and have alerts on. You're added as a contact automatically. If nobody qualifies, nobody is alerted.
On calls and texts, any reply counts as checking in, even one like "I fell", and so can a call picked up by voicemail. Don't rely on anything said during a check-in to alert anyone. A text alert can be delayed or fail to arrive, and a delivered one may not be seen right away.
WHAT YOU SEE
A short summary of each completed check-in, and a recap of what they've shared over time. Tap a recent check-in to read the conversation. AI-written summaries and recaps can miss things or get them wrong, and aren't medical advice. See where each emergency contact stands; if none has agreed and has alerts on, the app warns you when you open it. Look after more than one person from one account.
LIVE ALONE YOURSELF?
Check in by answering a few questions in the app, once a day at a time you choose. You don't need to give your own number, but setup needs one emergency contact's name and number. In-app check-ins rely on your phone, its notifications and a data connection. If your check-in doesn't reach us for any reason, including checking in with no signal, it counts as missed and your contacts who agreed are alerted, unless you reopen the app before the wait ends.
THE LIMITS
• It doesn't detect falls or emergencies.
• On calls and texts, a missed check-in alerts contacts only after the wait has passed. Nothing is sent when something happens between check-ins. With one check-in a day and the default 1-hour wait, about 25 hours can pass; with the longest wait, about 44 hours on calls and texts and about 8 days in the app.
• Each missed call or text check-in sends at most one alert text to each contact who agreed. We never call your contacts or emergency services.
• Unanswered calls and texts are retried at most 5 more times that day (6 attempts in all), even after contacts are alerted, and not at all if no contact who agreed has alerts on.
• After three missed days in a row, call and text check-ins pause. Contacts who agreed get one notice, and then nobody is checked on or alerted until the account holder opens the app; contacts aren't told when it resumes.
• Reinstalling or a new phone starts a new account; the old one can't be recovered and its contacts may get an alert.
• Check-ins by text and call, and alerts to contacts, work with US phone numbers. English only.
AI AND PRIVACY
Every completed check-in is summarized by AI (OpenAI for voice calls, Anthropic for summaries). Call audio is processed live by our AI provider; a transcript is saved. We don't sell your data, don't use advertising identifiers, and don't track you across other apps or websites. Settings → Delete Account stops all check-ins and alerts and permanently deletes your schedule, history, summaries, recap and contacts from our database. It can't be undone.
Check In Together is a check-in and text-alert tool. It is not a medical device, a monitoring service or an emergency-response service, and no one at Check In Together monitors check-ins or responds to alerts. In an emergency, call your local emergency number (911 in the US). Message and data rates may apply. Support: support@checkintogetherapp.com
