About

I grew up watching the people I love work themselves into the ground for a version of success that never let them be free. I became that person too. Convinced I owed the world everything I had. Until I realized I'd built a life that ran me instead of the other way around. The turn came when I stopped asking how to work harder and started asking what I'd actually built. The answer was a machine that needed me to keep running. So I rebuilt it. Systems first. Twenty years in business development and marketing. Now I build ecosystems instead of treadmills. That's the work. That's the why.

New Maker. Hi Hunters. - Just Checking In.

I grew up watching the people I love work themselves into the ground for a version of success that never let them be free. I became that person too. Convinced I owed the world everything I had. Until I realized I'd built a life that ran me instead of the other way around.

JustCheckingIn.app is the product we launched, Private Daily Emotional Check-In App.
Currently we have 97% Check-In Rate. We discovered that once someone is connected with at least one family member or friend, they maintain their check ins.

Maker here: why we built Just Checking In.

Hi everyone,

It can be difficult to know how the people you love are really doing and checking in every day by text can feels like nagging. So we built a lighter way. You do a quick daily check-in that shares how you're feeling with a small, private circle of people you trust.
Save Their Last Check-In-
"The last two check-in from my aunt before she passed, was she is grateful. I remember recording her going through the first version of the app and how much she loved checking in with me. I would feel guilty when we were testing because she would check-in on her own.
I pushed to continue development so I could finally continue checking in with her daily.
She loved the new designs and emotional selection. She called me -Neph-son "
If you skip a scheduled check-in, your connections gets a heads up. That's it.

A few things to try:
