About

Checo

Read full description

Checo is the simplest way to let the people you love know you're okay. Pick the times you'll check in with each person. When the time comes, one tap tells them you're fine. If a check-in is missed, they get a gentle heads-up so they can reach out. No tracking, no maps, no constant pings. Just a small daily habit that brings a lot of peace of mind. HOW IT WORKS - Add family and friends by username. - Agree on check-in times that suit each of you. - Tap Check in to tell everyone at once, or check in with one person. - If someone misses a check-in, the people watching are told. MADE FOR REAL LIFE - Living alone, or have a parent who does - Kids away at school - Roommates and close friends who look out for each other - Anyone who wants a quick "I'm okay" without a phone call SITUATIONS Heading out? Tap Walking, Driving, Out, Traveling or Home alone to let a group know what you're up to. They can tap Okay, and you'll see who did. STREAKS Check in day after day and build a streak with each person. A small flame keeps count. GROUPS Make groups like Family or Roommates and reach everyone in one tap. YOU'RE IN CONTROL - You choose who you connect with. Nobody can add you without your approval. - Remove or block anyone, at any time. They aren't notified. - Delete your account and all of its data from Settings whenever you want. CALM BY DESIGN Checo is quiet on purpose. Reminders are gentle, and the only alert that matters is the one you'd want to get. Checo is not an emergency service and does not contact emergency responders. If you or someone you know is in danger, call your local emergency number.
