What is TapOkie?
A daily check-in app. You tap I'm OK once a day. If you miss, your contacts get a text - no app required on their phone.
The short definition
TapOkie is a daily check-in (wellness check) app for people living alone, solo travellers, individual lone workers, and families who want a quiet daily signal without surveillance apps. You choose when to check in. Your emergency contacts only hear from TapOkie if you miss - via SMS on any phone. It is not a medical monitoring centre and not a live location tracker for friends to watch all day.
What that means in practice
A daily wellness check
You tap I'm OK once in your window. That single signal tells your circle you are fine - without a phone call or a live map.
SMS if you miss
Miss the window and verified contacts get an automatic text. They do not need the app installed.
You stay in control
You choose contacts, timing, and whether location can appear in alerts. Pause or skip when life gets in the way (Premium).
Not surveillance
TapOkie is not Life360-style tracking. No always-on GPS for friends to watch. Optional last-known location only when you allow it.
Free to start
Daily check-ins with one contact cost nothing forever. Upgrade when you want more of the safety net.
For people and for teams
This site is the consumer app. Employers who need dashboards and visit sessions use TapOkie Work at work.tapokie.com.
How TapOkie works
Download and add contacts
Install free on iOS or Android. Add up to three verified contacts on Premium (one on Free). Each confirms by SMS before they can receive alerts.
Tap I'm OK
When your check-in window is open, open the app and tap once. Reminders help you stay on track without nagging your circle.
Miss it? They know
If you miss the window, contacts get SMS - optionally with last known location if you allowed it. Premium also includes a one-tap emergency button for help now.

Common questions
Is TapOkie a medical alert or Life Alert alternative?
TapOkie is not a monitored medical alarm service. It is a daily check-in with SMS escalation to people you choose - friends, family, or neighbours - not a 24/7 call centre.
Do contacts need to download TapOkie?
No. That is a core design choice. Contacts verify once by SMS and receive alerts as plain text on any phone.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Core daily check-ins are free forever with one verified emergency contact. Premium adds more contacts, schedules, pause/skip, multilingual SMS, and a one-tap emergency button.
