Normal activity checks you in
During your Active Hours, recent step activity can confirm normal activity automatically and reset the no-activity timer.
Available now on the App Store
The automatic check-in app for people who live alone
Live independently with extra peace of mind. QuietOK uses normal activity from your iPhone — or Apple Watch when available — as your check-in. Your current check-in is backed by QuietOK’s servers, so the deadline and email alert do not depend on the app being open at that moment.

Monitoring quietly
All Good
Normal activity is the check-in. No daily tap required.
See QuietOK in action
Simple, calm, and built to stay out of the way.
QuietOK quietly confirms activity, keeps the current check-in backed by its servers, and contacts Trusted People only when a check-in is missed.
How it works
Quiet when everything is normal.
QuietOK is designed to stay out of the way. Recent step activity from your iPhone — or Apple Watch when available — is used to confirm normal activity automatically. Apple Watch is not required.
2
QuietOK asks you first
If the no-activity interval is reached, QuietOK starts a check-in and gives you time to respond. Enable Notifications for the background “Everything OK?” reminder.
3
Trusted People are notified
If you don’t respond and escalation has not been suppressed, QuietOK’s server can send a check-in email to the Trusted People you selected.
Server-backed check-ins
The check-in deadline doesn’t live only on your phone.
Your iPhone detects qualifying activity and securely syncs the latest confirmed activity time and current check-in schedule to QuietOK. From there, QuietOK’s servers keep track of the deadline and can send the Trusted Person email if the response period expires — even if the app is not open at that moment.
Privacy stays simple: QuietOK’s servers do not read HealthKit directly and do not receive raw step counts or raw HealthKit samples. The phone sends only the derived information needed to maintain the current check-in.
Your iPhone confirms activity
Qualifying activity updates the latest confirmed check-in time.
QuietOK’s server tracks the deadline
The current check-in schedule continues on the server after it is synced.
The server sends the email if needed
If you do not respond to the QuietOK prompt before the response period ends, the server emails your Trusted People.
No location tracking. No heart-rate monitoring. Apple Watch optional.
Privacy by design
We built QuietOK to know less.
The app uses only the information needed to provide the check-in service. Raw HealthKit step samples stay on your device.
QuietOK does
- Read recent HealthKit step activity with your permission.
- Store your chosen Trusted People, latest confirmed activity time, and current check-in schedule so server-backed check-ins can work.
- Optionally use notifications to show the “Everything OK?” prompt before Trusted People are emailed. QuietOK remains usable if Notifications are off.
- Let you delete your QuietOK server data directly from the app.
QuietOK does not:
- Track your location.
- Read your heart rate.
- Upload raw step counts or raw HealthKit samples to our servers.
- Use advertising trackers or sell your personal or HealthKit data.
Common questions
Simple by design.
Do I need an Apple Watch?
No. QuietOK can use step activity from your iPhone. If Apple Watch step activity is available through HealthKit, QuietOK can use that too.
Does QuietOK track my location?
No. QuietOK does not request location permission and does not use location to provide check-ins.
Does QuietOK need to stay open?
No. Once the current check-in is synced, While your trial or subscription is active, QuietOK’s servers keep track of the synced deadline and can send the Trusted Person email if the response period expires and escalation has not been suppressed. Your iPhone still needs to report newer activity when it occurs, so connectivity and iOS background behavior can affect how quickly new activity reaches the server.
What happens overnight?
You set Active Hours. Quiet Hours do not accumulate inactivity, and the no-activity timer starts fresh when the next Active Hours period begins.
What does a Trusted Person receive?
If QuietOK cannot confirm expected activity and you do not respond to the check-in, Trusted People receive an email asking them to check on you. If you later tap “I’M OK,” QuietOK can send an all-clear.
Are notifications required?
No. Notifications are optional. If you leave them off, QuietOK still monitors qualifying activity, keeps server-backed check-ins running, and can email Trusted People after a missed check-in. Without Notifications, QuietOK cannot show the background “Everything OK?” notification.
Can I use QuietOK without Health access?
Yes. Health Steps access is optional. Without it, walking will not reset the inactivity timer. Open QuietOK and tap “I’M OK” to check in manually. With Notifications off too, you must open the app to check and respond; the server timer and Trusted Person emails still operate while subscription access is active.
How quickly does activity update?
Apple Health and iOS control background delivery, so new activity may be delayed. Opening QuietOK refreshes available steps. Activity after a check-in starts may suppress email escalation during grace but still requires “I’M OK.” Delayed activity from before the inactivity deadline can cancel an unnecessary check-in.
How do I cancel, restore, or check my subscription?
Use Settings in QuietOK to view access, restore purchases, or manage your Apple subscription. Cancel through Apple at least 24 hours before the trial or current subscription period ends to avoid renewal. Monitoring and new check-in emails pause when access expires. Deleting the app or QuietOK data does not cancel your subscription.
Is there a subscription?
Yes. QuietOK is free to download. Eligible new subscribers receive a 7-day free trial, then pay $14.99 per year in the U.S. Prices vary by region. There is one annual plan and no monthly plan. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled.
Important: QuietOK is a reassurance and check-in tool. It is not an emergency response service, medical device, fall detector, or substitute for calling emergency services.
