The Unspoken Worry of Living Alone
"If something happened to me, how long would it take for someone to know?"
Independence is a beautiful thing. Whether you're a young professional carving your path, a retiree enjoying well-earned tranquility, or an expat exploring the world, living solo is a testament to your strength and self-reliance.
But beneath the freedom lies a quiet concern that millions share. A slip in the shower, a sudden illness, or any unforeseen emergency can become critical when there's no one around to help. This isn't about fear-mongering; it's about acknowledging a practical gap in the safety net of modern independent living.
The Statistics Don't Lie
- • 28% of American adults live alone—that's over 36 million people
- • Medical emergencies at home increase by 40% for those over 65
- • Average response time drops from days to hours with check-in systems
The Solution: Born from a Real Concern
What if there was a simple, automated way to confirm you're okay, twice a day?
DailyOk was born from personal experience. Our founder's elderly mother lived alone in a different city, and the constant worry was exhausting for both of them. Daily check-in calls felt intrusive, and missed calls led to panic.
We realized millions face this same dilemma. So we built something better: a non-intrusive, privacy-first solution that bridges the gap between independence and safety. No awkward calls, no location tracking, no complex gadgets. Just a simple, reliable signal that says "I'm OK."
Why DailyOk Stands Above the Rest

Your Questions, Answered
What if I just forget to check in?
That's why we have a 30-minute grace period! The app will send you multiple reminder notifications during this time. We've designed the system to minimize false alarms while ensuring genuine emergencies are caught. Pro tip: Set the app notifications to bypass Do Not Disturb mode.
Is my location data shared?
Absolutely not. We do not collect, store, or share any GPS or location data whatsoever. DailyOk doesn't even request location permissions. Your privacy isn't just a feature—it's the foundation of our entire design philosophy.
Does the app work offline?
The daily reminder notifications work completely offline—they're scheduled locally on your device. You only need a brief internet connection (WiFi or cellular) to send the "I'm OK" signal, which uses less than 1KB of data. Perfect for areas with spotty coverage.
Can I customize check-in times?
Currently, check-ins are at 9 AM and 7 PM (your local time). However, customizable check-in times are our #1 requested feature and will be available in the next major update (February 2025). You'll be able to set any times that fit your schedule.
How much does DailyOk cost?
DailyOk costs a flat $1.99 one-time fee to download. There are no monthly subscriptions, hidden costs, or in-app purchases. You own it forever.
