OkCircle
For families, friends & small teams

When something happens, say “I’m OK” in one tap.

In an emergency, group chats explode and phone lines jam. OkCircle replaces 20 unanswered texts with a single, calm, glanceable status board for the people you care about.

No app? Your circle can answer from any browser.

Shares your approximate area only — never an address

Calm, not alarming

A warm, quiet design that reduces anxiety instead of feeding it. Red is reserved for real emergencies.

One tap is the whole product

The home screen is one big “I’m OK” button. Everything else stays out of the way.

Privacy-first

Your circle sees an approximate area (~2 km), never an address. No continuous tracking, ever.

How it works

1

Create your circle

Add the people you care about with a link or a 6-character code. They join in seconds.

2

Tap “I’m OK” when it matters

After the news breaks, one tap tells everyone you’re safe — stamped with your general area and time.

3

See everyone at a glance

Who’s OK, who’s still to respond, who needs help — readable in half a second, no scrolling through chats.

Everything a circle needs. Nothing it doesn’t.

No filler stats, no decorative dashboards. Every element earns its place.

Circles

Small private groups — Family, Friends, Co-workers. Each circle has its own members and its own calm status board.

One-tap check-in

One big “I’m OK” button. Secondary statuses — in a safe place, on my way, can’t talk, battery low — stay quietly out of the way.

Check-in rounds

Ask “is everyone OK?” once, and watch replies arrive in real time. Nudge the people still waiting.

Area alerts

Earthquake, wildfire, storm, or security incident near you? An urgent prompt if you’re in the area — a calm banner if it’s only nearby.

Need help

Press and hold to ask your circle for help. The people you trust see it immediately and can call or head your way.

Quiet activity log

A reverse-chronological log of check-ins and resolved alerts — “all clear in 4 minutes” — not another noisy feed.

No app? No problem.

Not everyone in your circle has an iPhone — or wants another app. Send them a link by WhatsApp, SMS, or email, and they can answer “I’m OK” from any browser. No login, no install.

Each link works for a single check-in and expires after a reply. In the app, browser replies show a small “via link” badge.

Hi Maya — Dan is asking

Is everyone OK?

I’m OK

Not OK, or somewhere else?
