Frequently Asked Questions
13.5 hours difference. Can I even respond in time?
The app alerts you at your evening when parents miss their morning check-in. You still have time to call, text, or alert local contacts in India.
I'm a tech worker in Silicon Valley. My parents think I should call more.
Check-ins don't replace calls—they supplement them. On days you're swamped with standups and deploys, at least you know they're okay.
Bay Area housing is expensive. I can't bring my parents here.
Many Bay Area Indians face this. Your parents stay comfortable at home in India, you stay connected through daily check-ins. Best of both worlds.
Can I set this up during my next India trip?
Yes, or do it remotely via video call! Walk your parents through it—takes under 5 minutes. Simple enough for any smartphone user.
