'I need help' button for Check-in Members
A prominent emergency tap that immediately alerts every Coordinator and Support Member in the Circle. The thing families actually worry about.
Getwello is built slowly and deliberately, with a lot of input from real families. This page is the honest version: shipped features with the dates they shipped, work in flight right now, and the ideas we're still thinking about.
Active work. These should ship in the next few weeks.
A prominent emergency tap that immediately alerts every Coordinator and Support Member in the Circle. The thing families actually worry about.
Let the Check-in Member add a short note when they tap 'I'm well' ("feeling tired today", "all good after the appointment"). Surfaces in the family's notification and in the history.
If a missed check-in stays missed past your set threshold, escalate calmly from the Coordinator alone to every Support Member in the Circle.
Planned, in roughly this order. Order changes if a family tells us something matters more.
A pinned note at the top of the home screen for everyone in the Circle. "GP appointment Thursday morning, please don't visit before 3pm."
A short thread on each visit so people can coordinate quickly: "I'll bring lunch", "Already done shopping", "Running 10 minutes late".
The Android app is in build, with the same single-button experience for the Check-in Member. Joins the iPhone app on Google Play soon.
When the main organiser needs a break, another sibling can step in calmly without ownership confusion. Multi-Coordinator support and per-Circle quiet hours.
Things we like. Whether they ship depends on what families ask for next.
"Hey Siri, check in on Mum." A lock-screen widget so the Check-in Member can tap once without unlocking.
Visits in Getwello show up in the iPhone Calendar app, and vice-versa. Less duplication, no double-booking.
Working with UK organisations who already help families, so Getwello fits alongside the support you already trust.
10 things in the app today, in the order they shipped.
Delete your account from inside the app at any time, in line with Apple's account-deletion guideline. Subscriptions cancel automatically.
Per-profile accessibility flags so the Check-in Member can have a calmer, larger-text screen if it suits them.
Quiet eyes on how things are going. Adherence, visitor ranking, when visits happen, and where the next 14 days have gaps.
Native iOS app on the App Store, with the same single-button experience for the Check-in Member.
The dashboard now colour-codes each Check-in Member so a Coordinator can see who has been heard from today in a single glance.
Every tap of 'I'm well' fans out to the whole Circle, with a 10-second cool-off so accidental double-taps do not spam anyone.
If nobody is visiting for several days running, the family gets a heads-up before it becomes a quiet patch.
If a check-in has not come through, a quiet reminder goes to the Check-in Member first, then escalates calmly to the Coordinator.
Day, week and 14-day views of who is visiting and when. Coordinate without WhatsApp pile-ups.
A single 'I'm well' button for the Check-in Member. Tap once a day, the family is reassured.
