About this app

Know how the people you love are really doing.

Just Checking In is a private daily emotional check-in app that helps you, your family, friends, and trusted circle share how you feel, stay connected, and know when it may be time to reach out.

With one tap, let the people you choose know you're okay, without another phone call or crowded text thread. If someone suddenly stops checking in, their circle can be notified. Premium can also send a missed check-in SMS to a chosen alert contact, even if that person doesn't have the app.

No pressure. No performance. Just an honest emotional check-in and a simple way to show you care.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose how you're feeling.
2. Share your check-in with your private circle.
3. Build a consistent emotional wellness habit.
4. If a scheduled check-in is missed, the right people can be notified.

WHO IT'S FOR
People living alone, families separated by distance, aging parents and those who care for them, students away from home, veterans, close friends, and anyone building a daily emotional check-in routine.

Just Checking In supports real human connection, emotional awareness, and peace of mind. It is not therapy, medical care, an emergency service, a safety guarantee, or a crisis line. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger or crisis, contact local emergency services or an appropriate crisis resource.

Because the people who care about you shouldn't have to wonder.

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely love this app! My closest friends and I use this to stay updated with each other's mood/life without having to speak every day. Many times, I've been sad/upset and I check in and my friends have called me right away to help me work through those emotions. Very helpful tool. Highly recommend! Other scenarios, you can use it with your family, especially if they are older / live alone. Great way to know they're safe and well.

I've been using Just Checking In, and it has been great to stay in touch with family. Being able to check in and inform others that I am ok without spending a long time on the phone is easy with this feature, and inviting others to join was quick and easy. A very easy to use app that's exactly what it advertises. Strongly recommend keeping loved ones updated if you do not want to go through a hassle.

I look forward to my check-ins. This app helps keep me connected in a variety of ways.
