A text a day
keeps the worry away.

Three things happen
every day.

01

A warm hello arrives.

At the time you pick, Chekin sends your loved one a simple check-in text. No app, no account, just a text on their regular phone.

02

They reply.

They text back. That's it. No button to press, no app to open. One reply is all it takes to let everyone know they're okay.

03

The whole family sees it.

Their reply goes to everyone in the group. And if there's no reply after 3 hours, you'll know immediately.

This is the text that
says everything.

Every day, a simple question goes out. When they reply, you exhale. When they don't, you know to check in.

No app for them to download. No account to create. Just their regular phone, doing what phones do.

From the founder
"I built this because I kept forgetting to text her."

My mom told me she isn't afraid of dying. But she's afraid I won't text for days and we'll find her too late.

She doesn't want an app. She just wants a text. So I built Chekin. One daily check-in. She replies. I know she's okay.

That's the whole thing.

Common questions

No. Chekin works on any phone that can send and receive text messages. No app, no data plan required.
If the person you're checking in on hasn't replied within 3 hours, everyone in your family group gets an alert. Just a gentle heads up to check in on them.
We currently support one check-in recipient per group. Support for multiple parents is coming soon.
To cancel billing, visit your account dashboard — enter your phone number and we'll text you a secure link. Family members who text STOP are only removed from the group for themselves; the group and billing continue for everyone else.
