Simple lone worker check-in app for small businesses
No hardware. No contract. No app needed for your contacts. Just a daily check-in and an automatic SMS if something goes wrong.
Most lone worker apps are built for large enterprises: annual contracts, dedicated hardware, BS 8484 monitoring centres. TapOkie is built for the other end of the market: the estate agent doing solo viewings, the care worker on home visits, the freelancer working late in a building alone. A daily check-in, an emergency button, and an SMS to your contact if you don't make it back. Simple, affordable, and no lock-in.
Who it's for
Estate agents and letting agents doing unaccompanied viewings · Social workers and care workers on home visits · Field engineers and technicians working solo · Cleaners, contractors and tradespeople working alone on site · Remote workers regularly home alone during long working days · Freelancers working from isolated locations
How the lone worker check-in works
Set your schedule
Set your check-in time to match your shift or working pattern. Add a trusted contact: a manager, colleague, or family member. They don't need the app.
Check in on shift
Check in at the end of your shift or at key points during the day. One tap. Takes two seconds.
SMS if you miss
If you don't check in, your contact gets a plain SMS. No complex monitoring system. Just the right person being told at the right time.
Why small businesses choose TapOkie

No contract or minimum term
Start free. Upgrade to Premium month-to-month. Cancel any time. No sales calls, no annual commitments.
Contacts don't need the app
Your emergency contact receives a plain SMS. It works on any phone. Perfect for managers or family members who just need to know someone is safe.
Works internationally
TapOkie works in 20 countries. If your team crosses borders, it travels with them.
One-tap emergency button
Premium users get an emergency button that sends their location to contacts instantly. No need to unlock the phone or open an app.
Fits real shift patterns
Premium lets you set check-in times per weekday, add a grace period, and pause during leave. Built for irregular schedules, not fixed office hours.
What TapOkie is not
TapOkie is not a BS 8484 certified lone worker system and does not provide 24/7 ARC monitoring or police URN access. If your organisation requires BS 8484 compliance, you will need a certified provider. TapOkie is best suited for small teams, sole traders, and individuals who want a lightweight, affordable daily check-in without enterprise infrastructure.
