## What is OK Today?

Set this up on your mother's phone in two minutes. Then every day she taps one giant button, and you get a text message: "Mom: I'm OK today."

That's it. That's the app.

NOTHING ON YOUR PHONE

You don't install anything. There's no account, no pairing code, no family network to join, no dashboard to check. The check-in is an ordinary text message, sent from her phone, arriving in your Messages like any other text. Every competitor requires both of you to install and subscribe. This one is set up once and then can't really break, because there's almost nothing in it to break.

DESIGNED FOR SOMEONE WHO DIDN'T ASK FOR AN APP

• One button, filling most of the screen
• Nothing under 15pt; the main text is much larger than that
• No gestures, no swiping, no icons without words
• No timeouts and no "are you sure?" on anything that matters
• Optional extra-large text mode, and a high-contrast dark mode
• A soft row of dots showing this week — continuity, not a streak to protect

AND ONE BUTTON FOR THE OTHER DAYS

"Please call me" sends a different text. Not an emergency — just a nudge, for the days she'd rather hear your voice than press a button. There's a direct call button too.

PAY ONCE. THAT'S THE POINT.

$4.99, once, forever. No subscription, no upgrade prompts, no in-app purchases, nothing that expires. Nobody should have to subscribe to tell their family they're fine.

NO TRACKING, NO SERVER, NO ACCOUNTS

There is no location tracking, no monitoring, and no data collection of any kind. Nothing is uploaded anywhere, because there is nowhere to upload it to. Your mother is being asked to press a button, not to be surveilled.

WHAT THIS IS NOT

OK Today is a daily comfort ritual between family members. It is not an emergency alert system, not a medical alert device, not fall detection, and not a monitoring service. It cannot summon help. If you need emergency response, buy an emergency response product.

(iOS won't let any app send a text silently — which is the right call. The button writes the whole message and slides up a message box with it ready; sending is one more tap. If you'd rather she didn't have that tap either, setup can walk you through putting a one-tap "I'm OK" icon on her Home Screen using Apple's Shortcuts app.)
