Get started
See exactly what your family sees.
Daily Start is one calm app the whole family shares. No dashboards, no graphs, just the plain signs of an ordinary morning, and a clear, gentle plan for the rare day something's worth a call. Here's every screen that matters.
Sample details shown: the names and times are examples. A short walkthrough video will live here soon.
One screen. One clear answer.
Open the app and you know in a second. A warm green means the day has started as usual, and the morning's signs are listed plainly underneath. No charts to read, nothing to interpret. Just "Margaret's day started at 7:43am," so you can get on with yours.

Margaret's place
Sensors offline since 2:14am
Almost always an internet or power blip at the house, not a safety concern. We'll let you know the moment they're back.
What this means
While the sensors are offline we simply can't see the morning's signs, it doesn't mean anything is wrong. This is different from a quiet morning, and we'll never treat it as one.
If it helps, a quick call is always a lovely idea.
The most important screen we built.
If the sensors go quiet because the internet or power dropped at the house, Daily Start says exactly that: a calm amber, clearly a connection blip, and never mistaken for a missed morning. Knowing the difference between "all's well" and "we simply can't tell right now" is the whole point.
A gentle nudge, and a plan. Never an alarm.
If the usual signs haven't appeared by the time you chose, one person gets a soft prompt to ring, with your family's own plan right there: who calls first, who has a key. Tap "I'm on it" and everyone else sees you've got it, so nobody double-calls. Afterwards a single tap, all fine, they were just out, or they need a hand, closes the loop and lets the whole family know. Daily Start never rings anyone itself.

No sign of the morning yet
It's a little past Margaret's usual start.
Worth a quick ring
Most of the time it's nothing, maybe just a sleep-in, or a slow start to the day. A phone call is the kindest way to be sure.
Your plan
Chris rings first, then Sarah. Alan next door has a key.
I'm on it, I'll ring 📞How did it turn out?
The last few days, in plain words.
No timelines to decode. Just "Margaret's day started," "front door opened," the ordinary rhythm of the house, including any moment the sensors were briefly offline, shown honestly for what it was, so nothing ever reads as a scare in hindsight.

Away? It pauses itself.
Off to the bach, or every Tuesday at a partner's place: mark it once and the daily check quietly pauses, then starts itself again. A calm blue "away until Sunday" replaces the usual screen, so no one gets a nudge that isn't needed. The person at home never has to do a thing.
Away until Sunday
Daily checks are paused, nothing you need to do.
This away time
Checks will start again on their own on Monday morning. You can change or remove this any time on the Away tab.
Everyone included. Everyone in the loop.
Invite siblings and family. The owner approves each person, so only the people you choose can see anything. Keep your escalation plan and keyholder handy, and log "I called or visited" so the family stays close. Each person sets their own notifications, and can switch on a gentle nudge if the family's gone quiet, the deliberate little feature that keeps reassurance from quietly replacing the visit.
If something ever seems wrong
Chris rings first, then Sarah. If no answer, Alan next door (has a key) can pop over.

That's the whole app.
Calm on the good days. Clear on the rare one that isn't.
