Before you begin

Install DailyOK from the official Google Play listing, keep the phone online, and decide whether this phone is for the parent or for a family member who will support a parent.

  • Free during launch — no payment details
  • Parent setup needs at least one reachable family contact
  • Family-led setup needs the parent's permission

Allow notifications and reminders

When DailyOK asks to send notifications, tap Allow notifications and then Allow. If your Android phone offers full-screen alerts, allow DailyOK on that screen and return to the app. Phone settings can look different on different devices.

Choose who this phone is for

Tap Create an account. Choose I am the parent to receive your own check-ins and reminders. Choose I am a son, daughter, or family member to support a parent. If a parent already has an account, choose Add me to an existing parent's family and follow the joining instructions instead of creating another parent account.

Parent profile details

On the parent path, enter your name and WhatsApp number with the correct country code. Use your own number for your account. Add an email if you want another way to receive account messages. Complete required fields, choose your language, and check any location details before continuing.

Family profile details

On the family path, enter your own profile details first — name, WhatsApp number, and language. Parent and family forms have different fields. You will add the parent on a later step; do not use the parent's number for your family account.

Verify your account

Tap the button to send a verification code. Check the delivery destination shown in the app, then enter the code and tap Verify and set up profile. Use Change if the number is incorrect. If the code does not arrive, wait for the resend timer and request another code. Never share a verification code with another person.

Parent setup: add family contacts

Add the family members who should receive your check-in and help alerts. Enter each person's details carefully, choose the available notification options, and tap Save contacts. Use Add another contact for more people. Ask family members to install DailyOK and sign in with the number you added so they can see your updates.
