Set it up together

Choose how your family
stays in the loop.

Start on the phone that will send the check-ins. Choose the check-in role, review Family Monitoring and agree on a daily routine together.

Option 1 · Email updates

A check-in phone and a verified email

Install Senior Companion on the older adult’s phone. Activate Family Monitoring, choose the check-in times and set up a verified recipient for optional missed-check-in emails.

The email recipient does not need a second app installation. Agree together on how they will follow up if a check-in is missed.

Option 2 · The family dashboard

See received check-ins on your own phone

Install Senior Companion on both phones. Choose the check-in and family roles, then pair them using the temporary code with the other person’s permission.

See received check-ins and history, the last reported phone battery level, and shared family updates.

  1. Agree on the routine

    Choose up to three daily check-in times and decide who will follow up if one is missed.

  2. Tap “I’m OK”

    Local reminders bring you back to the large check-in button. Check whether your tap has been confirmed online.

  3. Keep your family connected

    A paired family member can see the received check-in. Optional emails can flag a missed scheduled check-in to a verified recipient.

An offline check-in must sync before family can see it. A check-in records an action; it does not confirm someone’s health or safety. Emails can be delayed or fail.

For family & caregivers

Their check-in.
On your phone.

Stay involved in everyday life, even when you don’t live nearby. Family Monitoring brings shared updates into one place.

  • A clear check-in history

    See received check-ins and when they arrived, so you can decide when to get in touch.

  • Optional missed-check-in emails

    Enable automatic alerts for a verified caregiver email. A later check-in can send a resolved update. Up to 200 automatic alert emails are included per month.

  • Useful context, not a live feed

    View the phone’s most recently reported battery level and its update time. An old report is not a current reading.

  • A little more family, every day

    Share messages, photos and care tasks, and help manage shared contacts, notes and check-in schedules.

What’s included in Family Monitoring

Simple beyond the check-in

Everyday tools.
Easy to find.

Large text, clear buttons and familiar actions make the phone easier to use. These essential tools are available without a subscription.

Family calls & help texts

Call a trusted contact from a large tile, or prepare a help text with a location link when available and permitted. You start the call or message.

Magnifier & flashlight

Use the camera to enlarge small print or turn on the flashlight without searching through a crowded home screen.

Notes, dates & weather

Keep useful information close at hand. On Android, optional Home Screen Mode also offers simpler access to everyday apps.

Additional contacts, contact photos, custom Quick Texts and home screen customization are free too. No one-time upgrade is needed in the latest version.

Get the free app

Example EUR prices from the Apple App Store in Germany, checked 16 October 2026. Prices and trial eligibility vary by store and region; your final price is shown before purchase. Family Monitoring renews automatically unless canceled through Google Play or your Apple Account. A trial is available only when offered to your account. No hardware purchase is needed.

Sharing stays a choice

Connection starts
with permission.

Contacts are not connections

Adding someone from your contact list does not give them access to check-ins. Family sharing requires separate setup and consent.

Your whole address book stays yours

The app does not upload your full address book. If cloud sharing is enabled, selected contact details and other shared information are uploaded for your paired caregiver.

You can turn sharing off

Disable cloud monitoring and request deletion of its data from the app. Location sharing is user-initiated, not a continuous location feed.

A separate project · In development

For those who prefer
a physical press.

I’m developing an optional Wi-Fi button for the same daily “I’m OK” routine. There is no working prototype yet. Physical assembly and end-to-end testing are not yet complete.

The app is available today and works without buying a button.

Optional hardware · Crowdfunding

Planned button, USB-C cable, power adapter and 12 months of Family Monitoring from activation.

Shipping is extra. Estimated delivery: April 2027. A paid plan is needed after the included year. The button is not an emergency or SOS device and will not contact emergency services.

Before you get started

A few good
questions.

Need something else?
Contact the developer.

What is the Senior Companion Button?

An optional Wi-Fi button designed for a one-press daily check-in. It is a crowdfunding project still in development, with no working prototype yet. No hardware purchase is needed to use the app. The button is not an emergency or SOS device and will not contact emergency services.

See the development project
How much does Family Monitoring cost?

Example EUR prices are €3.99 billed monthly or €34.99 billed annually in the German Apple App Store. Prices and trial eligibility vary by store and region. The app shows your current local price and billing period before purchase. Daily check-ins require Family Monitoring; everyday phone tools are free.

What is a daily check-in app for seniors?

It is a way to record a simple “I’m OK” action at an agreed time. With Senior Companion’s Family Monitoring subscription, a paired family member can see received check-ins and optionally receive an email when a scheduled check-in is missed.

Who is Senior Companion for?

Older adults living alone, people who want a simple check-in routine, and family members or caregivers supporting someone’s independence. It is not a professional care service.

Is the daily check-in feature free?

No. Daily Check-In, reminders and caregiver services require Family Monitoring, an auto-renewing monthly or yearly subscription. Everyday tools, including additional contacts, contact photos, custom Quick Texts and home screen customization, are free in the latest version. No one-time upgrade is needed.

What happens if a check-in is missed?

If automatic alerts are enabled and the caregiver email is verified, a missed scheduled check-in can trigger an email. The family member decides how to follow up. Emails may be delayed or fail; a missed check-in does not establish that an emergency has occurred.

Does it work without an internet connection?

A check-in can be saved on the phone while offline, but it must sync before family can see it. A check-in that has not reached the server may still result in a missed-check-in email. The app distinguishes a local save from online confirmation.

Do both people need the app?

Only the check-in phone needs the app for the email-alert setup; the email recipient must be verified. Both phones need the app if you want the paired family dashboard. Simply selecting a person from Contacts does not connect their phone.

Is this a medical alert or emergency service?

No. Senior Companion does not provide fall detection, a continuously watched monitoring service or automatic emergency dispatch. A check-in is not proof of health or safety. In an emergency, contact local emergency services directly.

Is it available for Android and iPhone?

Yes. Senior Companion is available on Google Play and the Apple App Store. The app supports English, German, Ukrainian, Slovak, Spanish and Polish interfaces. Home Screen Mode is an optional Android feature; appearance and some phone tools differ by platform.

One tap. “I’m OK.”

A small check-in.
A closer connection.
