Auto check-in elderly care app
Inactivity alert for elderly parents without invading their privacy
How does our elderly monitoring app work?
Our app runs silently in the background on your parent’s smartphone, monitoring normal daily device activity (like unlocking the screen, using apps, or moving the phone). If the phone hasn’t been touched or moved for 24 hours, you get an immediate inactivity alert. It’s the simplest way to check on an elderly parent!
You will know if something seems unusual
You will not become a surveillance-heavy helicopter child
You do not need to call every day just to check basic activity
The app is simple enough to set up once and forget
Only receive an alert if the phone appears inactive for a long period.
It is cheaper and lighter than full monitoring systems

I am the elderly parent, and I can say I feel a lot better now knowing my son does not have to worry about me and that my pets are always taken care of.
Got my mom set up on Parents are OK. it just checks if she uses her phone, no creepy GPS tracking.
This app is simple, but honestly, that’s why I like it. It just tells me if my mum’s phone has been inactive too long.
I like that my mum doesn’t have to report anything. The app just runs in the background and alerts me if something looks wrong.
Easy to use and does just what i want. No nonsense, did not see any commercials and, most importantly, no additional hassle for the parents. Just the one-time installation hassle.
About Me
Hi! I’m Razvan, co-founder, parent, and child
I live in Portugal, while my mother lives in Romania, alone with her two dogs and one cat. She is active, independent, always working, always helping someone, and often caring for street cats and dogs. She does not need to be watched, tracked, or treated like she cannot manage her own life.
But living in different countries leaves one fear in the back of my mind: if something serious happened, how long would it take before I knew? And what would happen to the animals who depend on her every day? “Parents are OK: Senior Safety” came from that exact thought. It gives families a quiet alert if a parent’s phone shows no activity for 24 hours — without GPS, cameras, location tracking, or daily check-ins.
A PRIVATE ALTERNATIVE FOR ELDERLY CARE
Unlike traditional senior care solutions, we don’t require expensive hardware, clunky smartwatches, or intrusive home camera systems. “AgeTech” shouldn’t mean spying. We offer a frictionless check-in app alternative. No “helicopter child” dynamics, just a simple notification if something seems unusual.
Some commonly asked questions from new clients…
The app monitors signs of normal phone use, such as the phone being touched, moved, or used during the day. When the phone stays inactive for more than 24 hours, the guardian receives an alert.
It is not a live tracking app. It is a passive check-in system designed to notice when something may be wrong.
No. “Parents are OK” does not use GPS tracking, location sharing, or location history. The app is built for senior safety without surveillance. You know if your parent’s phone becomes inactive, but you do not see where they are.
No, it does not use the camera, microphone, or any form of listening or watching. It does not record audio, take photos, monitor conversations, or access private content.
Yes. That is the main purpose of the app.
Parents are OK gives you a quiet way to check on an elderly parent living alone without having to call just to ask, “Are you okay?” If their phone is active, you do not need to interrupt them. If their phone shows no activity for 24 hours, you get notified.
You receive an inactivity alert. This alert tells you that your parent’s phone has not shown activity for a full day.
It does not automatically mean there is an emergency. It means something is unusual enough that you should check in.
No. Parents are OK is not a replacement for emergency services, medical alarms, or professional care.
It is a senior safety layer for families who want early warning when an aging parent’s phone appears inactive for too long.
No. There are no daily buttons, no manual check-ins, and no routine your parent has to remember. The app works in the background, based on normal phone activity. This makes it easier for seniors who do not want another daily task.
Parents are OK is best for:
- Adult children with aging parents living alone
- Long-distance caregivers
- Families who dislike GPS tracking apps

- Fall detection as a certified medical device
- Dementia wandering protection
- Replacing caregivers or emergency services
