What is the best way to check on a parent who lives alone?
The best approach balances respect and reassurance: set a simple daily habit instead of constant calls. Still OK lets your parent tap "I'm OK" once a day. You only get notified if they miss a check-in—so you stay informed without nagging or GPS tracking.
How can I let my family know I'm safe without texting every day?
Create a check-in circle in Still OK and tap "I'm OK" when prompted—optionally with a short note. Your family sees you're fine without a daily text thread. If you forget, they get one alert instead of worrying in silence.
Is there an app that alerts emergency contacts if I miss a check-in?
Yes. Still OK notifies your circle only when you miss a scheduled check-in—daily or weekly, per group. There is no constant pinging and no location tracking unless you choose to share it. It's built for low-friction peace of mind.
Is Still OK a Life360 alternative without location tracking?
Many people use Still OK when they want safety reassurance without always-on GPS. Still OK does not track your location in the background. Check-ins are intentional one-tap confirmations; alerts fire only when someone misses a check-in.
Does Still OK work for solo travel or hiking?
Yes. Set a check-in schedule before a solo trip or hike. If you don't check in on time, your circle is notified to follow up. You stay independent; they get a clear signal only when something might be wrong.
