WatchMe - Family Guardian - Daily check-ins for aging parents & night safety

WatchMe keeps families connected with zero-effort daily check-ins. 👴 **Senior Mode** - Parents tap ONE button to say "I'm okay". Family gets notified instantly. 👀 **Guardian Mode** - Get alerts when loved ones check in or miss a check-in. 🌙 **Night Guard** - Share live location when walking alone. One-tap SOS if needed. Built for my own aging parents who live far away. Now we stay connected without daily phone calls. 100% free. No subscriptions.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋

I'm Samson, solo developer behind WatchMe.

**Why I built this:**

My parents live far away in another country. I constantly worried about them but didn't want to burden them with daily "are you okay?" calls. 

So I built the simplest solution I could think of: one button. They tap it once a day, I get a notification. That's it. No typing, no video calls, no pressure. Just a small "I'm okay" signal.

Then my girlfriend asked: "Can this work for when I walk home alone at night?" So I added Night Guard mode - live location sharing with one-tap SOS.

**What makes WatchMe different:**

- ⚡ Check-in takes literally 2 seconds
- 🔕 No guilt, no pressure on seniors  
- 🆓 100% free (ad-supported, no paywalls)
- 🔐 Location only shared when YOU choose

**I'd love your feedback on:**

1. What features would make this more useful for your family?
2. Any UX improvements you'd suggest?
3. Would you use this for your own parents?

Happy to answer any questions. Thanks for checking out WatchMe! 🙏
