## What is Kaeru?

Ever forgotten to let your family know you’ll be home late?
On busy days or when plans suddenly change, sending a message can easily slip your mind—and leave the people waiting for you worried.
Kaeru automatically keeps your family or partner updated about your journey home through LINE.
When you leave your designated location, Kaeru sends an “I’m on my way home” message.
If you’re still there after your usual departure time, it automatically lets them know you’ll be late.
No need to remember to send the same message every day.
Kaeru helps you stay connected and gives your loved ones peace of mind.

▼ Fits Your Weekly Schedule
Leave at 6:00 PM on Monday, 8:00 PM on Friday, and turn notifications off on weekends.
You can set a different usual departure time and enable or disable notifications for each day of the week.
It’s ideal for anyone whose work hours or daily schedule changes throughout the week.

▼ Recommended For
・People who often work late or have sudden schedule changes
・People who sometimes forget to send a message when running late
・Shift workers or anyone with different hours each day

▼ Designed with Privacy in Mind
Location information is used only to determine whether you have left your designated location.
This check is processed on your device. Your latitude and longitude are not sent to an external server.

▼ Battery-Friendly
Kaeru uses location services mainly around your scheduled departure time, helping reduce unnecessary battery use.
On busy days, don’t let an important “I’ll be late” message slip your mind.
Let Kaeru make everyday home updates simple and automatic.
