Long (about 120 words)
Just Checking In is a daily emotional check-in app for iPhone and Android. Instead of another group text, you share how you are feeling in one tap with a private circle you choose: family, friends, and supporters. Check-ins can be scheduled or arrive as a surprise prompt, and your circle can be notified when a scheduled check-in is missed. A free plan covers multiple daily check-in times, unlimited circle members, and 30 days of check-in and chat history. Premium adds stored history, an Annual Check-In Pattern view, and missed check-in SMS alerts that reach a chosen contact even if they do not use the app. Just Checking In is not therapy, medical care, an emergency service, or a crisis line.
