Her daughter doesn’t have to ask.
Your tap shows up on her phone the moment it happens, along with the week so far. Nobody phones to check, and nobody has to remember to report in.
Free on iPhone. Android is on its way.
One tap says you’re okay.
A free app for people living independently. Check in once a day with one tap. The people you choose see it, and if a check-in is ever missed, they hear about it.
Free. No card. Nothing to wear, nothing to charge.
An illustration: a phone showing the app's big blue Check In Now card, and behind it a family member's phone that lights up with the notification Margaret checked in a moment after the tap.

One tap here. One notification there.
Everything Holo Connect does happens twice: once on your phone, once on the phone of someone who cares.
Real screens from the app, alternating with the notifications the people in your circle receive: checked in, headed out, a missed check-in, and a shared moment.
Start the day with one tap.
The morning window opens. You tap. That is the whole routine, and everything else stays out of the way until you want it.
Check in
One tap inside a window you picked. Your streak grows and your circle sees it.

Free, and it stays free.
The daily check-in and everything around it costs nothing. No card, no trial, no clock running.
Additional features are available on Holo Premium, the optional paid plan.
- One daily check-in window: Pick the time of day that suits you. Tap once inside it.
- One person in your circle: A daughter, a son, a neighbour. They see your check-ins on their phone.
- Alerts when a check-in is missed: The moment your window closes without a tap, they hear about it. Once.
- The SOS button: One press, one confirm, and your circle knows you need them.
- Two medication reminders: Gentle nudges on your phone. Mark them taken and your circle can see.

Invite your care circle.
The app gives you a short code to text, email, or read down the phone. They enter it and they’re connected.
One person is free. Up to four on the paid plan, who can also be reached by text message with nothing installed on their side. Alerts go to them, and to nobody else.
The app can tell your circle five things: checked in, headed out, missed a check-in, needs help, and shared a moment.
The part no reminder app does.Her phone tells her anyway.
The moment a window closes with no check-in, everyone in your circle is told. Once. Nothing happened, and that is precisely what got noticed.
If the window closes with no tap, she hears about it.
Once, straight away, by notification. On the paid plan, by text message too. Then she picks up the phone. She always was going to.
When you press SOS, everyone knows at once.
One press, one confirm so it can’t go off in your pocket, and your whole circle is told. On Holo Premium, your location goes with it, so they know where you are as well as that you need them.
And sometimes it’s just the garden.
The tomatoes came in. The grandkids stopped by. A photo goes straight to the same small circle, so the people who care about you are part of the good days too, not just the check-ins. Safety is the reason it gets installed. This is the reason it stays.
And that’s not all.
Real screens from the app, not a mock-up. If it’s shown here, it exists.
Made for an ordinary day.
For people living independently, and for the people who care about them. Then the phone call can be about anything else.
Which phone do you have?
That’s the only question. iPhone owners can have it running before the kettle boils.
Questions people ask us.
What if I simply forget to check in?
Then it does the job. Fifteen minutes before your window closes, your phone reminds you. If the window closes anyway, the people in your circle are told a check-in was missed, and one of them phones you.
Forgetting isn't a failure of the app. Forgetting is the reason it exists.
Does it follow me around all day?
No. There is no background tracking. If you turn location on (a paid feature), the app takes a single snapshot at the moment you check in, head out, or ask for help, and nothing in between. Leave it off and everything else still works.
What does it cost?
The app is free. The daily check-in, the SOS button, your first contact and two medication reminders don't cost anything.
There's an optional paid plan for households that want more: extra windows, up to four contacts, unlimited reminders, text alerts and location. You'll see what it costs inside the app before you decide anything.
Can I set it up for my mum or dad?
Yes. A family member can create the account, choose the check-in window and invite the circle, then hand the phone over with one thing left to do each day: tap.
Does my family need the app too?
To see your check-ins and get notifications on their phone, yes. They install it, enter your invite code, and they're connected. On the optional paid plan, people can also be reached by text message, which needs nothing installed on their side.
Is this the same as a Holo Alert device?
No. Holo Alert's devices are a different product with a different kind of service: they come with 24/7 monitoring. Holo Connect is an app, it's free, and the alerts go to the family and friends you choose.
Is there an Android version?
Not yet. Holo Connect is on iPhone today, and the Android app is being built. Leave your name and email on this page and we'll tell you the day it's ready. That's the only email you'll get from us about it.
What happens to my information?
Your check-ins, medications and location are shared with the care circle you choose and nobody else. Photos you share disappear after 30 days. We don't sell personal information and we don't use it for advertising.
