A simple routine, a clear family path

Daily check-in, medicine reminders, repeat reminders, missed follow-up, and help requests — in one calm family loop.

This guide walks through each step with real app screens. For a shorter product overview, see How it works.

  • Set a daily check-in and routine reminders
  • Parent responds with Done, Remind me later, or a daily check-in
  • Missed items stay visible for gentle follow-up
  • Family Hub shows what needs attention

Getting started

DailyOK brings routine reminders, a daily check-in, and family follow-up together. The parent uses the app on their phone; trusted family stays informed and can help manage routines.

  • Install from the official Android Google Play listing
  • Allow notifications, full-screen reminders, and battery access when prompted
  • Create an account with OTP — no payment details during Free Launch
  • Add at least one reachable family contact

Daily check-in

The scheduled DailyOK check-in is a once-a-day response. It is separate from custom reminders. From the dashboard, the parent can also share how they feel and request family attention.

  • Need Help asks family to check in
  • Urgent Help uses the highest-priority family alert path

Family reassurance

Family members see the people they support, today’s reminders, and items that may need attention — without constant calling.

  • Parent responds — family gets reassurance
  • Reminder stays pending — DailyOK keeps it visible
  • Missed check-in or reminder — family can follow up
  • Parent asks for help — family gets a clearer signal

Create a medicine or routine reminder

From My reminders, add a clear description, category, and time. Examples include medicine, water, walking, and appointments.

For medicine, use a clear label such as “Take BP medicine” and select the intended time.

Choose how often it repeats

Schedule a daily or weekly routine. DailyOK shows a summary before the reminder is saved. Active reminders stay visible in the list with the next due time.

See active reminders

The reminder list shows active schedules and the next due time. Parent or family (with permission) can view, edit, or delete a reminder.

Respond when a reminder is due

When a medicine reminder arrives, the parent sees the name and scheduled time.

  • Done records an acknowledgement in the app
  • Remind me later keeps it pending and brings it back after the delay
  • Optional note — type or speak with the microphone

Need Help / Urgent Help

Need Help asks family to check in. Urgent Help uses the highest-priority DailyOK family alert path. Family can acknowledge and resolve the event in Family Hub.

When permission allows, family can also create and edit reminders for a linked parent.

Message family — type or speak

Parents can send a normal update without using Need Help. Choose a quick message, type, or tap the microphone.

  1. Tap microphone — listening starts
  2. Review text — edit or Speak again
  3. Send to family — only then is it delivered

Speak, then review

DailyOK opens the listening state. The parent can Stop or Cancel. After speaking, the transcript appears so they can edit it or choose Speak again.

Send only when ready

The recognized text appears in the message box. Only after pressing Send to family is the message delivered through the normal family-message workflow.

Choose your language in your profile

Language is a per-user setting in User Profile / My Profile - Default language. It is not one global family setting.

A parent can use Gujarati while a son or daughter uses English on their own account. Localized dashboards help parents use core actions in a language that feels natural.

  • English
  • Hindi
  • Gujarati
  • Marathi
  • Bengali
  • Tamil
  • Telugu
  • Kannada
  • Malayalam
