Look after your parents in India while you live abroad

Living in another country while your parents grow older in India is hard in a very specific way. The time difference means you call at odd hours. You hear "all good" on the phone and still don't really know.

OkayFolk gives you a calm view of their day from wherever you are. Their medicine reminders and daily check-in arrive on WhatsApp in India time. You see what's done on your dashboard, and you get an alert only when something needs you, along with a sibling or neighbour who is closer.

How it works

  1. Add your parents

    Their phone number with the +91 code and their city. Reminders follow India time automatically.

  2. Add people nearby

    A neighbour, a relative or a cousin in the same city as backup contacts. They're alerted if you can't act fast.

  3. Share with siblings

    Brothers and sisters in the US, UK, Canada, the Gulf or Australia see the same status and get the same alerts.

Questions

Do my parents need to learn a new app?

No. Everything works on WhatsApp, which they already use, with one-tap replies.

What happens in an emergency?

One tap on SOS alerts every guardian and contact with their location, and shows the Indian emergency numbers (112, 108).

Can I pay from abroad?

Yes. Families outside India can pay with PayPal or a card in US dollars.
