Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Adam, the founder of CheckinBee. Some of you might remember our earlier launches - we’ve kept building, listening, and learning, and I’m excited to share the new and improved CheckinBee today. At its core, CheckinBee is simple: we send a daily text check-in to your loved one. If there’s no reply, their care circle - family, friends, or neighbors - is alerted automatically. No apps or devices, just peace of mind. Since our last launch, we’ve added a free 14-day trial, customizable check-in times, and expanded options for families to make the service even more flexible and supportive. Our goal is to help older adults stay independent while giving families reassurance that someone will know if a check-in is missed. 💛 We’d love your thoughts and feedback, and if you know someone who might benefit, we’d be grateful if you shared CheckinBee with them. Try it free here: checkinbee.com. Thanks for your support — I’ll be around all day to answer questions! - Adam

minimalist phone: creating folders

Great idea, I think that a course helping people to use smartphones could be a good additional activity (because I noticed many elderly people use those "dumb phones with buttons", have eyesight problems and find it complicated to use smartphones.

@busmark_w_nika Hi Nika, Thank you for your feedback! No smartphones are needed for our service. Any phone that can send and receive a text message can be used.

Great job, Adam! I really appreciate the concept! The idea of replying with a simple “Yes” feels minimal, yet incredibly powerful.

CheckinBee is a very good caring product! In addition to sending text messages, have you considered using AI customer service so that the elderly can respond to check-in by answering calls? For the elderly, a phone call may be a stronger reminder than a text message.

@wayne_appgrowing Thank you for your message! There are many services that offer phone call check-ins for people who prefer that. We use text messages as it allows more flexibility and increases independence.

This is such a thoughtful and meaningful product that brings real peace of mind to families — love the simplicity and care baked into it! :) Can you customize how long after a no reply that the care circle gets notified?

@josh_gallup Hi Josh, thank you for your support! Yes, there are several customization options available including the check-in window (how long the loved one has to respond before we alert their support network)

Such a great idea factoring the fact that it doesn’t need a smartphone to be used because many elders don’t like using smartphones.
