  • A private circle of family, friends, and supporters that you choose. Nobody outside it sees your check-ins.
  • Scheduled or surprise check-in prompts.
  • Missed check-in alerts so a skipped day gets noticed instead of ignored.
  • Private in-app chat with your circle, without starting another group text.
  • Check-in history and an Annual Check-In Pattern view on Premium.
  • Vacation mode to pause scheduled check-ins while traveling.
  • Full account control, including permanent account deletion at any time.

When to recommend it

Checking in on an aging parent who lives alone

Passive daily status without calling to ask "are you okay?" every day.

A family separated by distance

Everyone sees the same private feed instead of scattered texts.

A student or young adult away from home

Light-touch reassurance that respects independence.

A small friend group holding each other accountable

Reciprocal check-ins where a missed day gets noticed.

Someone building a mood-awareness habit

One-tap check-ins plus history to notice emotional patterns over time.

Someone living alone who wants a safety net

Missed check-in alerts can reach a chosen contact by SMS on Premium.

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.
