Omniscient: Family Check-In
Not just a dot on a map
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Your loved one is not just a dot on a map. Omniscient shows you the one thing no other app does: when the person you love last moved. A phone that moved two minutes ago belongs to someone who is up and about. One glance, and you know. Free for the first 14 days, no card needed.
And now, just say: "Hey Siri, ask Omniscient to check on Mom."
Siri answers with when her phone last moved, where she is, and her battery.
WHY IT EXISTS
I built Omniscient for my own mom. She lives alone, she doesn't love technology, and every unanswered call turned into a story in my head. Every family app I tried showed me a dot on a map. A dot doesn't tell you if someone is okay. Motion does. Now I glance at my phone: "Mom moved 4 minutes ago." That's all I needed to know. The worst feeling isn't bad news. It's not knowing.
THE SIGNAL NOBODY ELSE SHOWS YOU
• Last moved: how long since each person's phone (or Apple Watch) moved, updated live while you watch. Big type, first thing on their card.
• Ask Siri: "Hey Siri, ask Omniscient to check on Mom" or "How is Mom doing in Omniscient?" Siri tells you when her phone last moved, where she is, and her battery. On iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods, and in the car. No setup; set what Siri calls each person under Connections.
• Check-ins: a notification at the times you choose, up to six a day, "Mom is probably up, her phone moved at 7:40 this morning," so the question answers itself before you ask.
• Quiet-phone alert: pick a limit, say 4 hours. If Mom's phone hasn't moved by then, or stops reporting, you get one alert: "No movement from Mom's phone since 9:10 AM." Only when something looks wrong.
• Where they are: address, distance from you, and your own labels like Home, Work, or Chase's house.
• Battery and Low Power Mode, so you know when a quiet phone is just a dead phone.
• Honest by design: Siri, the card, and every alert say what the phone did and when. They never guess how someone is feeling.
FOR NEW DRIVERS TOO
• On the phone while driving: a red badge the instant a driver handles their phone.
• Driving alerts: a notification the moment a driver passes the speed you set, or handles the phone while moving. One per drive.
• Weekly driving reports: miles, trips, hard braking, hard acceleration, speeding, and phone handling. Only real events count, and the score is fair by design.
• A day at a glance: each person's stops and drives for today, up to 14 days back.
• Health at a glance: heart rate and steps for people who share them.
YOU STAY IN CONTROL
• Connect only by private code. Nobody sees you without your approval, and nobody can override someone who pauses.
• Pause sharing, switch to receive-only, or remove a connection any time.
• Driving reports are a switch: drivers turn them off, viewers choose per person.
APPLE WATCH
Wear Omniscient on Apple Watch and the people who care see even fresher updates: heart rate, steps, and motion, with the phone and watch coordinating to keep battery cost small.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No social feed. No friend graph. No discoverability.
• Live updates only while someone is watching. Quiet the rest of the time, for battery and privacy.
• No ads. No selling your data. Ever.
