SMS check-ins aren’t live yet. We’re aiming for late November 2026. For now, available in the USA, in English only.
Family SMS check-ins
Stay close, even on busy days.
Friendly texts for Mom, Dad, or another loved one, shaped by the memories you share.
Create your account, tell us about your loved one, and send the first hello when you’re ready.
Friendly check-in texts. No logins or apps for them to learn.
Set up once. Stay present without writing every text yourself.
Getting started
01
Create your account
02
Tell us about them
Their name, ZIP code, and a few things they love, like a garden, a team, or a grandkid’s recital. That’s what makes each text feel personal.
03
Say hello when you’re ready.
Send it now, tonight, or tomorrow morning, or save it for later. It’s your call.
04
They say YES.
Their first hello says who we are, including that we’re an AI assistant, and asks first. Friendly check-ins begin only after they reply YES.
A day with Text From Home
01
Morning hello
A short, friendly text arrives, drawn from the details you shared.
02
They reply
They answer however they like, in one word or a whole story. We remember what they say, so the next text can follow up.
03
Quiet hours
No texts overnight. If they write late, we wait until morning to answer.
04
You stay close
Read the whole conversation anytime in your account. When something sounds like it needs you, that’s a good moment to call.
Conversation, not alarms.
Your loved one says YES before the first check-in, and every text after that is friendly conversation.
What if they don’t reply?
A quiet day doesn’t trigger an alert. If 3 check-ins in a row go unanswered, we slow to at most one check-in a day until your loved one replies, then the usual schedule comes back. You’ll see quiet days in your day-by-day report. Text From Home is a friendly texting service, not an emergency or monitoring service. If you’re worried, call or visit them. In an emergency, call 911.
Saved to your report
From their day to yours.
Each check-in is saved in a day-by-day report, just for you.
The day-by-day report
