No tracking. No daily check-ins.

When your parent
doesn't answer,
you worry

Know your parents are okay without constant calls

No spam. No commitment. Leave anytime.
Happy family illustration

The reality families face

Behind every moment of silence is someone who just wants to know they're okay.

Long silences

A message left unread.
A call unanswered.
The mind fills the gaps.

"Are they okay?"
moments

Not emergencies.
Just quiet uncertainty.
Worry returns again.

Family connection

The wrong kind of solutions

Calls feel intrusive.
Tracking feels wrong.
Most tools divide you.

Distance makes
it harder

Different cities.
Different countries.
You cannot be there.

Why this matters

When you can't reach them, worry fills the silence.
CircleOK gives families calm: no calls, no tracking, no pressure on your loved one.

Most families end up choosing between two bad options.

Constant checking

Daily calls. Repeated messages.
Stress for you and for them.

Full tracking

Always-on location. Battery drain. A feeling of being watched.

Neither option feels right

How CircleOK works

  1. 01

    Create a small family circle

    Add your parent and close relatives.

  2. 02

    CircleOK looks for simple daily signals

    It notices movement and normal phone activity. Nothing to press, nothing to remember.

  3. 03

    Everything stays calm by default

    No constant push notifications.
    Open the app anytime if you want to check in.

  4. 04

    If something feels unusual, we start gently

    First, a quiet check inside the app.

  5. 05

    Only if silence continues

    After longer inactivity we notify your family, and show where the phone last was if your parent allowed it.
    Only when it really matters.

Feels comfortable
for parents too "Even for parents who hate tech."

The same worries come up every time. Here is what we do about each.

"You'll be tracking my every move."

No location, no tracking. The only signal is whether steps happened today. Nothing else is visible to anyone.

"My data will be sold."

Never sold, never monetised. It is shared only with the circle your parent chose and the providers that run the service for us, stored securely and handled in compliance with GDPR.

"My children will judge me for being inactive."

Family sees a status only: OK, or not OK. No step counts, no patterns, no comparisons.

"It'll go off at inconvenient moments."

Alerts go to family, not to your parent. They may see a gentle in-app reminder if a setting quietly stopped the updates, never at night. Alerts go out only after 24 hours without any activity.

"I don't want to be a burden with all this tech."

Nothing for them to manage. Setup takes a few minutes with help, and after that the phone just stays in their pocket.

"What if there's a false alarm and everyone panics?"

Only after 24 hours of no activity in waking hours, nights excluded. The bar is deliberately high, and your parent can pause sharing from their own phone whenever they want.

Families in our research said they like how calm it feels.

Frequently asked

Before you trust us with something important.

How it works How does CircleOK know everything is okay without any buttons?
It reads the step counter already built into your parent's phone. Movement during the day means the app stays calm. No buttons, no check-ins.
How it works When does CircleOK send an alert?
After 24 hours with no steps during waking hours, family get a quiet push notification. Not an alarm, a nudge. Night hours, 11 pm to 8 am, are excluded entirely.
How it works What if the phone runs out of battery?
A dead phone looks the same as no activity, so it triggers the same gentle family alert after 24 hours.
Privacy Can you see where my parent is?
No. Location is off in normal operation. It is shared in one situation only: your parent switched it on themselves, and there has been no activity for 24 hours. It disappears again as soon as activity resumes. Data is stored securely and handled in compliance with GDPR.
Family How many people can be in a circle?
Free plan: 2 caregivers around 1 parent. A paid plan for larger families is coming, and we will publish exactly what it includes before it launches.
Family What if my parent just decided to rest all day?
Your parent can pause sharing from their own phone with a tap. No unnecessary alerts. Same for holidays or travelling.
Coming soon Will CircleOK remind my parent to take medication?
Not yet. It is on the roadmap as an optional feature that only the parent can turn on.
Coming soon What about parents with memory conditions?
We are building a care mode for families navigating memory loss. It will need the parent's own consent, and it will not be continuous tracking. Join early access to try it first.
Product iOS or Android?
iOS first. Android is planned, but we would rather not name a date until it is real. The step counter works on most phones made after 2015.
Product How is this different from Find My Friends?
Those apps track location continuously. CircleOK knows one thing: are they moving today. Location stays off unless your parent switches it on for long silences. No constant GPS, no battery drain.
