Now available in English! Know your aging parent is okay today with a single tap. Try the Watch Plan free for 7 days. Built for families living apart.
The calmest way to know your aging parent is okay today — without daily calls, GPS tracking, or feeling intrusive.
If you live far from your aging parents, you know the quiet worry. Did Mom remember her medication? Is Dad okay alone today? Calling every day feels like a chore for both sides. GPS apps feel like surveillance. Group chats go silent within weeks.
Kyoiru gives you a third option: a single daily tap.
■ONE TAP A DAY
Every morning, your parent opens Kyoiru and taps "I'm here today." That's it. No typing, no setup, no fuss. The whole family knows they're okay.
■NO REPLY NEEDED
Add an optional mood stamp (happy, tired, under the weather) or a short note. But silence is fine too. Kyoiru's "no reply needed" culture removes pressure on both sides.
■FAMILY GROUPS
Create separate groups for parents, siblings, or close friends. Each group shows today's status for every member at a glance.
■DESIGNED FOR PARENTS WHO DON'T LOVE PHONES
Tap targets are big. The interface is simple. Invite via SMS, WhatsApp, or a shared link. If your parent can open an app and tap a button, they can use Kyoiru.
■GENTLE WATCH PLAN (OPTIONAL)
For families who want more peace of mind, the Watch Plan adds:
• Escalating reminders when no daily tap comes in
• Optional GPS sharing (only with explicit consent)
• Emergency contact integration
• Cancel anytime
Importantly, the Watch Plan requires your parent's explicit consent — paying alone never activates monitoring. Kyoiru is built on consent, not surveillance.
■FREE PLAN
The daily check-in and family groups are free forever.
■PRIVACY
Your check-in data stays between your family. No ads. No third-party tracking. No data sales.
■LANGUAGES
English, Japanese.
