Frequently Asked Questions

13.5 hours difference. Can I even respond in time?

The app alerts you at your evening when parents miss their morning check-in. You still have time to call, text, or alert local contacts in India.

I'm a tech worker in Silicon Valley. My parents think I should call more.

Check-ins don't replace calls—they supplement them. On days you're swamped with standups and deploys, at least you know they're okay.

Bay Area housing is expensive. I can't bring my parents here.

Many Bay Area Indians face this. Your parents stay comfortable at home in India, you stay connected through daily check-ins. Best of both worlds.

Can I set this up during my next India trip?

Yes, or do it remotely via video call! Walk your parents through it—takes under 5 minutes. Simple enough for any smartphone user.

I am on an H-1B in San Jose and my spouse works too. We both worry about our parents in India.

Dual-income H-1B couples in the Bay Area often have parents on both sides in India with no family nearby. Each of you can set up a separate account to monitor your own parents. The 13.5-hour time difference means their 9 AM check-in arrives around 7:30 PM PST the previous evening, so you can review it over dinner and sleep peacefully knowing they are safe.
