aloka: Family Check-In

One tap a day to say you're OK. aloka is a daily check-in app that helps people living alone stay connected to family and trusted contacts. Choose a check-in time and tap "I'm OK" when aloka reminds you. If you do not respond, aloka sends additional reminders. When the check-in remains unanswered, the people in your circle are alerted so they know it may be time to contact you. How aloka works • Set a daily check-in time • Confirm you are OK with one tap • Add family members, caregivers, or trusted friends to My Circle • Create a Family Circle for a parent, grandparent, or another loved one • Receive missed check-in alerts when someone does not respond • See check-in status without relying on constant calls or messages For people living alone - and the people who care aloka can help: • People living alone • Seniors and older adults who want to stay independent • Adult children caring for a parent or grandparent • Families living in different cities or countries • Caregivers, neighbors, and trusted friends • Anyone who wants a simple daily safety routine Care without constant monitoring aloka is designed for families who want reassurance without surveillance. It does not use cameras or constant location tracking. When a check-in is completed, no unnecessary alert is sent. When it is missed, trusted people receive a clear signal to reach out. My Circle and Family Circle My Circle connects you with the trusted people who should be alerted if you miss a check-in. Family Circle lets an organizer support someone they care about. After that person accepts the invitation, the organizer can help manage the check-in time while circle members stay informed. Simple by design There is no wearable or complicated device to learn. Daily reminders, a one-tap response, and clear check-in status make aloka easy to use across different ages. Privacy and safety aloka supports independence and family connection. It is not a medical device or emergency response service and does not replace local emergency services when immediate help is needed. One daily tap can turn silence into a signal - helping people living alone feel supported and helping families know when to check on them.
