My mother uses it. At first, she was worried about her pets, "if something happened" to her. Now, I am the one at ease knowing she's okay between phone calls and visits.

What is Olkano?
Olkano is a daily "I'm OK" check-in service for people who live alone and the people who care about them. You set a schedule, tap once to confirm you're OK, and if you miss a check-in, your trusted contacts get an alert.
Unlike emergency buttons that require you to press something during a crisis, Olkano works in reverse: it acts on the absence of a check-in. This addresses the fear of "if something happens to me, nobody will know" without relying on continuous location tracking, wearable devices, or active alerts during an emergency.
Key features:
- Daily reminder at your chosen time
- One-tap check-in
- Automatic alerts to trusted contacts when a check-in is missed
- Trusted contacts don't need to install the app (they receive alerts via email)
- No location tracking, no GPS, no surveillance
- Multilingual (English and Spanish)
- Free with one trusted contact; Plus plan for unlimited contacts and advanced scheduling
Olkano is designed for independent people who want peace of mind without feeling monitored, and for adult children, partners, and friends who worry about a loved one living alone.
