Check On YouiPhone · coming soon
Check on someone you love
A warm way to check your people are okay. Pair with someone you trust. Either of you can check on the other, and see when the other checked on you.
In TestFlight. Public release to follow.
How it works
Care, made visible.
Connect with someone you trust
Invite someone via link optionally tied to their Apple ID or via QR code.
Choose how much they see
Sharing location is not all or nothing like other apps. Choose what they see and for how long.
Check on them, with a word
Tap a face to check on where they are – add a message to let them know you’re thinking of them.
You always know who looked
You can see when someone checked on you, and build trust together
Change your mind, instantly
You remain in control and can revoke or downgrade location sharing privileges at any time.
Why it works
Being seen beats being tracked.
Most location sharing is all-or-nothing: someone can always see you, or they never can. Neither builds trust. Always-on gets forgotten and quietly becomes surveillance. Off gets read as hiding.
Check On You takes the third option. Access is there when it’s needed — and every single use of it is disclosed. A parent can check that their teenager arrived. The teenager knows they checked, at 11:40pm, and can say something about it if it’s every twenty minutes.
That’s not a compromise between privacy and safety. It’s what makes the arrangement survivable for both people.
Privacy
There is no server to trust.
Check On You has no backend. Your location lives in your own iCloud account and is shared straight to the people you chose, through Apple. We never hold it, because there is no “we” in the middle to hold it. The data is yours.
These are the three promises the app makes on the day you install it, word for word:
You always know
Every time someone checks on you, you’re told who checked and when. Always.
Your data stays yours
Everything lives in your own iCloud. No company servers, no ads, no one selling where you’ve been.
You're in control
Choose how much each person sees — from whether you’re home to where you’ve been.
- No analytics, no advertising, no third-party libraries phoning home — and no cookies or trackers on this website either.
- You choose what each person sees
- Deleting your account erases your data from iCloud.
