About Family Wellness CheckIn
Family Check-In keeps a family quietly connected — and gets help moving fast when something goes wrong. Each family member has a check-in timer. Tap once to check in, and everyone sees you're okay. Miss it, and the family is notified — no one has to remember to ask, and no one has to wonder. CHECK-INS THAT FIT REAL LIFE • A simple timer per person, set to the interval that suits them • One tap to check in, with your location attached if you want it shared • Travel mode for shorter intervals when someone is away • A shared family view showing who's due, who's overdue, and who just checked in • Home Screen widgets and a Live Activity so your timer is visible without opening the app EMERGENCY SOS • Hold to send an SOS with your location to the whole family • Delivered as a critical alert, so it breaks through Silent mode and Focus • Family members see the alert until it's resolved, then it clears itself • Checking in cancels the alert for everyone FALL DETECTION ON APPLE WATCH • Opt in, and your Watch can detect a hard fall and alert your family if you don't respond • Off until you turn it on, and switchable off at any time • Your Watch reports the fall itself when it can, and your iPhone relays it when the Watch can't reach the network ON YOUR WRIST • A full Apple Watch app: check in, see the family, and send an SOS from your wrist • Complications to keep your timer on your watch face BUILT FOR ONE FAMILY Family Check-In is not a social network. There are no strangers, no feeds, and no discovery. A family administrator creates accounts and sends an invite; there is no public sign-up. Everyone in the family sees the same information, because that is the point — nobody is being monitored without knowing it. PRIVACY Your location is shared only with your own family, only when you check in or raise an alert. There are no ads, no trackers, and your data is never sold. IMPORTANT Family Check-In alerts your family members. It does not contact emergency services and is not a medical device or a monitored emergency-response service. In an emergency, call your local emergency number. Fall detection may not detect every fall. Requires an invite from a family administrator to sign in.
What’s new
Version 2.0.0 · Updated October 9, 2026
Family Check-In 2.0 adds a companion web app and keeps everything more up to date: • Use Family Check-In in your web browser: check in, see your family, and get alerts, at the address your family admin shares. • Check-in history now shows whether each check-in came from iPhone or the web. • The My Timer widget now stays current on its own, even after a check-in from the web or your Apple Watch. • Family links and invites are easier to share. • Clearer wording for check-in alerts, password rules, and removing a family member. • Reliability and accessibility improvements.
