Frequently Asked Questions

My parents are in India and I'm in the US. How do timezones work?

Your parents set their check-in time (e.g., 9 AM IST). You receive updates in your timezone automatically. No math required.

Can I help set up the app for my parents remotely?

Yes! Video call them, walk them through the simple setup (under 2 minutes), and you're good to go.

What if my parents don't have smartphones?

They need an Android smartphone or iPhone. If they have an old smartphone, it likely works. Basic feature phones aren't supported.

Is this better than video calling every day?

Different purpose. Video calls are for connection. Check-ins are for safety confirmation. Use both—check-in for daily peace of mind, video calls when you can.

My parents say they are fine on every call even when they are not. How does this help?

A missed check-in reveals what words might hide. If your parent always checks in at 8 AM and suddenly stops, that is more informative than a phone call where they say everything is fine. The absence of a check-in is a signal that something may have changed.
