A call for Mum every morning, and a heads up if she does not answer.
Oarly rings your parent's phone at the times you choose, in their own language. Answering is the check in, so there is nothing to learn and nothing to open. If nobody answers, Oarly keeps trying, then lets the family know.
14 days free on Android and iPhone
Set up once, in the same room.
Install Oarly on their phone
You add them in your app and get a six character code. They type it on their phone, and it becomes theirs. No account, password or email for them.
Prove it rings
Setup ends with a real test call. It is not finished until their phone rings and they answer it, while you are there to help.
Pick the times
One call at nine, or morning, lunch and bedtime. From then on they only ever answer a ringing phone.
A real week, including the day nobody answered.
A check in rings up to five times, at 0, 3, 8, 15 and 25 minutes, because a shower or a nap often outlasts a quicker ladder. Only after the last one, or straight away if they decline, does anybody get an alert.

Mum did not answer
Oarly rang 5 times between 09:00 and 09:25. Nobody picked up.
Sent to you and to everyone else in her circle who has alerts switched on.
“All good love, just back from the shops. Jean is coming round for lunch.”
With a spoken check in, the call asks how they are, records the reply on their phone and writes it up for you. They never open the app.
Built for the person answering.
Nothing to learn
No buttons to press and no app to open. The phone rings like any call, and picking up is enough.
In their own language
Each person's calls speak their language, set for them alone. Your app can stay in yours.
Shared with siblings
Brothers, sisters and partners can join the circle and get the same alert, and siblings looking after one parent do not pay twice.
No phone number involved
Calls travel over the internet to the app. No number to give out, and no landline needed.
Last known place, if they agree
They can choose to share where they were when they answered, shown next to their reply.
Private by design
Their lock screen only ever says Oarly. What the call is about is said after they answer.
Questions
Does my parent need a smartphone?
Yes. Oarly calls travel over the internet to the app, so they need an iPhone or Android phone with Wi-Fi or mobile data. Setting it up is done once, with you there.
What happens if they do not answer?
Oarly rings again at 3, 8, 15 and 25 minutes. If none of the five calls is answered, or they decline, everyone in their circle who has alerts on gets a push notification straight away.
Is this an emergency, medical or health service?
No. Oarly is not an emergency, medical, health or monitoring service, nobody watches the alerts, and it never phones emergency services. A missed check in does not mean something is wrong, and an answered one does not confirm anyone is well. In an emergency, always call your local emergency number.
Which plan do I need?
Together covers one person you look after, plus unlimited reminder calls for yourself. Family covers up to five. Both start with 14 days free and every feature unlocked, and the person you look after never pays.
