A simple way to know they're
okay.
HelloToday is a free daily check-in app for elderly parents and families in Australia — designed for parents living alone and the people who care about them. Each morning, your parent opens the app and taps one button. If they don’t tap it, you know to check in.
No missed calls. No second guessing.
It’s built for families who want a simple way to check in on a parent living alone — without daily calls or tracking.

Frequently asked questions.
HelloToday is free to download and use. We want every Australian family to have access to this simple peace of mind.
You'll receive a gentle notification letting you know they haven't checked in yet. It's not an alarm — just a nudge so you can give them a call when it suits you.
No. There's no GPS, no location tracking, and no passive data collection of any kind. The only data point is a single daily tap.
That's exactly who this is designed for. The app has one screen and one button. If they can unlock their phone, they can use HelloToday.
Yes. You can invite siblings or other family members so everyone stays in the loop without needing a group chat.

HelloToday is for families and caregivers checking in on an elderly parent, and for seniors living alone who want a quiet safety net. If you've ever wondered how to know your elderly parent is okay each day without calling — this is for you.
No. HelloToday is not a medical device or emergency alert. It's a proactive daily check-in — designed to provide quiet, ongoing reassurance rather than reacting to a crisis. Think of it as the layer before an emergency — a simple daily habit that keeps everyone connected.
A daily phone call comes from a good place — but it can start to feel like a check-up, and if your parent doesn't answer, you worry. HelloToday removes that pressure. One tap replaces the need for a daily call, creating a consistent rhythm of reassurance without anyone feeling guilty or overbearing.
