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.
A small habit. A meaningful connection.
Daily check-ins
for seniors.
A little closer.
One tap says “I’m OK.” Senior Companion helps older adults living alone and the people who care about them stay connected, day by day.
Daily check-ins and family updates require a Family Monitoring subscription. Essential phone tools are free.

Appearance may vary by device.
One clear action — “I’m OK”
Your chosen family — connected with consent
Your own routine — up to three check-in times
How it works
A daily check-in,
not another complicated task.
For you, an aging parent or someone you support. Set it up together, then make checking in part of the day.
Choose your connection
Install Senior Companion on both phones. Choose the appropriate role and pair using the temporary code, with the other person’s permission.
Make it your routine
Activate Family Monitoring and set up to three daily check-in times. Local reminders help bring you back to the large “I’m OK” button.
Keep family in the loop
After a check-in syncs, your paired family member can see it. If a scheduled check-in is missed, optional automatic emails can notify a verified caregiver.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Current prices and billing periods appear in the app store before purchase. Family Monitoring renews automatically unless canceled through Google Play or your Apple Account. Check-ins and alerts depend on setup, connectivity and service availability.
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.
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?
Both phones need Senior Companion to use the paired family dashboard. Automatic alert emails are a separate, optional setup with a verified recipient. 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, with English, German and Ukrainian interfaces. Home Screen Mode is an optional Android feature; appearance and some phone tools differ by platform.
One tap. “I’m OK.”
