Is there a free daily check-in app for a parent who lives alone?
Yes. Hammock365 is a daily check-in app that is free forever. Your parent taps one big button each morning to say she is okay, and you see it on your phone. If the tap has not come by the time you picked, you get a text. No card to sign up, and no trial clock.

What is free, and stays free
- The daily I'm Okay check-in, plus a Send a nudge button that pops up on her phone if she has the store app
- A text to one family contact, the person who set up the account, when the check-in is missed
- The I Need Help button, which texts that same person
- Check-in history
- The emergency card: allergies, medications, her doctor, who to call
- Medication reminders on your parent's screen, with an I took it button
- Six one-tap call contacts on her screen
- Siblings, caregivers, friends and neighbors joining with the family code, as many as you like
- 10 messages with Maggie, the assistant inside the app
Nobody gets downgraded, because nobody starts on the paid plan.
What the paid plan adds
One plan covers the whole family: $14.99 a month or $140 a year. Your parent and your siblings never pay.
| Free | Paid | |
|---|---|---|
| Missed check-in text | One contact | Everyone in the family |
| I Need Help text | One contact | Everyone in the family |
| Missed-dose alert to the family | No | Yes |
| Document vault | No | Yes |
| Family messages and photos | No | Yes |
| Appointments | No | Yes |
| Maggie | 10 messages, ever | Every day |
Paid features show a lock inside the app. Tap one and you see the price. Staying on the free plan never asks for a card.
Is there an I'm OK app for seniors?
Yes. People search for an I'm OK app, an "are you okay" app, a senior daily check-in app or a check-in app for the elderly. They mean the same idea: an app your parent taps once a day, so someone knows she is okay. Hammock365 is that kind of free safety check-in app. It also works as a daily check-in app for anyone who lives alone, with a friend or neighbor as the contact.
Where it runs
iPhone, Android, and any web browser at app.hammock365.com, with the same login on all three. Hammock365 was called SeniorSafeApp until September 11, 2026. Same app, same team, new name.
The honest limit
Hammock365 is not an emergency service. It texts your family. It does not call 911, and there is no call center. If it is an emergency, call 911.

The daily check-in, the missed check-in text and the emergency card are free forever. No card, no trial clock.
