Let your friends know you got home safe, without the play by play.
One tap after a date tells your circle you are fine. If the tap never comes, they find out the same night.

It's Time to Check In
Home safe? One tap.
You checked in
Your friends know you got home.
No check-in tonight
Your friends have been notified.
Maya sent ❤️
Glad you're home. Details tomorrow.
One tap instead of a debrief
Your friends get the reassurance they wanted without you narrating the whole evening at 1am.
Silence is the signal
A missed check-in notifies your circle, so nobody has to remember to follow up.
Nothing is shared with the date
Circles are invite-only, private, and never show your location to anyone.
“My closest friends and I use this to stay updated with each other's mood without having to speak every day. Many times I've been sad and I check in, and my friends have called me right after.”
“Being able to check in and let others know I am ok without spending a long time on the phone is easy with this app.”

Common questions
Does anyone see where I am or who I am with?+
No. There is no location feature and no contact sharing. Your circle sees a check-in, nothing else.
Can I check in early if the night ends sooner?+
Yes. You can check in whenever you like, and the scheduled reminder is just a prompt.
What if I fall asleep before checking in?+
Your circle is notified about the missed check-in. Agreeing in advance on a wait time keeps that from becoming an unnecessary scare.
Is this an emergency alarm?+
No. It is a habit and awareness tool. In an urgent situation contact local emergency services.
Make got home safe automatic.
Set up a circle with your closest friends before your next night out.
Just Checking In is not an emergency service and cannot summon help. If you feel unsafe, contact local emergency services.
Just Checking In is not therapy, medical care, an emergency service, or a crisis line. In a crisis, contact local emergency services.
