Safety check-in app for solo workers and freelancers
Work alone and still have someone who would notice. One tap a day, SMS if you miss — no tracking required.
Personal safety, not employer software
If you work alone and want someone to know you finished the day safely, TapOkie gives you a simple daily tap and SMS escalation. It is for freelancers, contractors, and solo workers who choose their own emergency contacts — not for managers monitoring a team. When you need visit sessions and a dashboard for staff, that is TapOkie Work.
What you get
Built for people who work alone
Freelancers, contractors, tradespeople, and anyone whose day does not have a colleague watching the clock — a simple daily tap so someone knows you are OK.
SMS, not another app for them
Your partner, neighbour, or friend gets a plain text if you miss — and a Safety Trail link if you've logged places that day. No account for them to manage, no app to install.
No workplace tracking
TapOkie is not GPS surveillance for a boss. Location in alerts is optional and only shared on your terms when you allow it.
Free to start
Core daily check-ins and Safety Trail locations are free forever with one verified contact. Upgrade when you want more contacts, schedules, trail photos, or SOS.
Panic when you need speed
Premium adds a one-tap emergency button for moments that cannot wait for the next check-in window.
Clear line to team tools
Managing care staff, agents, or field teams? TapOkie Work is the employer product with a dashboard and visit sessions — separate from this personal app.
How to use TapOkie when you work alone
Set up your circle
Download TapOkie free, add someone you trust, and have them verify by SMS. One contact is enough to start.
Check in after the day
When your window suits you — end of visits, after the last job — tap I'm OK. One signal that you finished the day safely.
They hear if you miss
Miss the window and your contact gets an SMS — with location or Safety Trail if enabled. A quiet cue to call or check on you.

Common questions
Is this for employers?
This page is for individuals — freelancers, contractors, and people who work alone and want a personal check-in habit. If you manage a team of care workers, agents, or field staff, use TapOkie Work for visit sessions and a manager dashboard.
Do my contacts need the app?
No. Verified contacts get SMS alerts on any phone. They never have to download TapOkie.
Is there a panic button?
Yes on Premium. A one-tap emergency button alerts your contacts immediately when waiting for the next check-in window is not enough.
