Lone worker check-ins for individuals

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. 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 are free forever with one verified contact. Upgrade when you want more contacts, schedules, 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

1

Set up your circle

Download TapOkie free, add someone you trust, and have them verify by SMS. One contact is enough to start.

2

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.

3

They hear if you miss

Miss the window and your contact gets an SMS. A quiet cue to call or check on you - not a call centre, not a drama.

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.
