What happens after you download
Sign up, pick a time
Takes about two minutes. Choose when the daily reminder arrives.
Connect your family
Share your code with the people who should know you're okay. Do this bit on day one.
Tap once a day
That's the whole thing. If a day gets missed, your family are told.
Step 2 is the one that matters. People who connect a family member are still checking in a fortnight later at about 77 percent. People who set it up alone and connect nobody are at about 6 percent. It takes a minute and it is the difference between a habit and an app you forget.
Free plan or free trial?
These are two different things and they get confused constantly, so here it is plainly. The free plan is free forever. Separately, new users can try Premium free for 7 days. You do not need a card for the free plan.
| Free | Premium | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free forever | A$16.99/mo or A$169.99/yr |
| Daily check-in | One, fixed at 8:00am | Your times, up to 3 a day |
| Family connected | 1 person | Up to about 10 |
| Missed check-in alert | Push notification | Push and SMS |
| "Checked in okay" notice | Not included | Included |
| History and calendar | Not included | Included |
| Personal setup help | Not included | Included |
The SMS difference matters more than it looks. Push notifications get swallowed by Do Not Disturb and Focus modes, and a missed alert is exactly how these systems fail people. An SMS does not depend on notification settings. Full detail on the pricing page.
Before you download
What do I need?
An iPhone or Android phone, or a tablet. Nothing to wear, nothing to plug in, nothing to charge separately. If you can unlock your phone, you can use HelloToday.
Does it track my location?
No. There is no GPS, no location, no camera and no microphone. The only thing shared is whether you chose to check in today.
Do both of us need it?
Yes. The person living alone uses it to check in, and each family member uses it to see the check-in and receive alerts if one is missed.
Is this a medical alarm?
No. There is no monitoring centre, no fall detection and no emergency dispatch, so it cannot call an ambulance. In an emergency the answer is still 000. If you need emergency response, look at a monitored personal alarm. Our guide to daily check-in apps compares the options honestly.
Will I be charged after the trial?
Only if you choose to continue. You can cancel any time through the App Store or Google Play, and if you do nothing you simply move to the free plan.
