Parent on Android? Android version →
📱 You don't have to own an iPhone to help.
StillFine is installed on the senior's phone — the one whose activity we monitor. You, the caregiver, can use any phone (Android is fine), tablet, or web browser to view the dashboard. If your parent uses an iPhone, you can be the caregiver from anywhere.
Why we built it
Every year, seniors living alone experience falls, strokes, or quiet medical events that go unnoticed for hours — sometimes days. Smartwatches end up in drawers. Cameras feel invasive. Most families just call and hope nothing's wrong.
StillFine turns the iPhone your parent already uses into an invisible guardian. No new device. No camera. No GPS. Just a calm signal that says: they're still fine today.
"We built StillFine for our own parents. They didn't want a wearable. They didn't want a camera in the house. They didn't want to be tracked. But they were happy to keep using the phone they already had. That was enough."

How it works — without your parent changing a thing
The iPhone already knows when it's picked up, when it's carried from room to room, when it's plugged in to charge. StillFine notices these everyday signals — through Apple's privacy-friendly Motion & Activity APIs — and quietly tells you: "Yes, today is a normal day for Mom."
If a long stretch passes with no signal, the app first sends your parent one gentle nudge: "Tap to let your family know you're okay." One tap dismisses it. Only if they don't respond does you, the caregiver, get an alert.
Most days, you'll hear nothing. That silence is the product working.
What you get as the caregiver
- Four-layer iPhone monitoring — motion activity, room-to-room movement, charging events, and a silent background heartbeat. If one layer is throttled, the others still work.
- Three-stage smart alerts — gentle nudge to your parent first, then a family alert, then escalation to others on your trusted list. Default 6 hours. You set the timing.
- Web dashboard works anywhere — iPhone, iPad, Android, laptop, any browser. No app needed on your end.
- Family-shared — siblings, neighbors, trusted friends can all stay in the loop without calling and interrupting.
- Sleep-aware — quiet hours mean no false alarms while your parent rests.
- Bilingual — full English and Chinese support.
What your parent gets — without changing anything
🤫
Nothing to learn
No buttons to press. No app to open. They keep using their iPhone like always.
⌚
Nothing to wear
No bracelet, no pendant, no Apple Watch to charge or remember.
🛡️
Dignity preserved
No camera. No microphone. No GPS coordinates. You see "she's having a normal day" — not where she is or what she's doing.
😌
Fewer "are you okay?" calls
Calls become warm conversations, not duty check-ins. Both sides feel better.
😴
Sleep stays sacred
Quiet hours mean no alerts at night. Their sleep is their own.

Help arrives if needed
If something is wrong, you know quickly — instead of hours or days later.
Privacy is the foundation, not a feature
✓ What we use
- Motion activity (walking / sitting / driving — no path)
- Room-to-room movement signal (no map coordinates)
- Charging plug events
- Battery level
✗ What we never touch
- GPS coordinates or any map location
- Camera or microphone
- Messages, calls, contacts
- Browsing history or app usage
A note on movement: iOS gives apps a "the phone has moved meaningfully" signal without exposing where. We use that signal to detect "your parent walked from the bedroom to the kitchen" — never to know what room, what address, or what city. All data over HTTPS. Activity records auto-deleted after 90 days. Account deletion any time. Read the full Privacy Policy.
How to set up — about four minutes
- Download StillFine on your parent's iPhone from the App Store. (Easiest done together, in person or over a video call.) Open the app — you'll see a "Scan QR Code" button. Leave that screen open.
- Create your caregiver account at stillfine.ai on your own device — any browser, any phone, any laptop. Walk through the senior-setup wizard. The last step shows a QR code on your dashboard. Keep that screen visible.
- Scan the QR code — pick up your parent's iPhone, tap "Scan QR Code" in StillFine, point its camera at the QR on your dashboard. Done — monitoring starts immediately.
- Allow Motion & Notifications when iOS asks — these prompts appear on first launch. Tap Allow for both; that's what lets StillFine notice the daily rhythm and reach you if something's off.

FAQ
I have Android — can I still be the caregiver?Yes. The caregiver dashboard runs in any web browser. Only your parent's phone (the monitored phone) needs to be iPhone.
What about my parent's battery?The app uses Apple's low-power motion APIs designed for all-day background use. In our testing, battery impact is similar to a normal background app like Weather.
Does StillFine know where my parent is?No. iOS gives apps a "the phone has moved meaningfully" signal without exposing coordinates. We use that signal as a movement heartbeat — never to know what city, what address, or what room. The dashboard shows activity, not location.
What if my parent isn't comfortable with technology?That's expected. Setup takes about 4 minutes and you can do it for them — they don't need to know how the app works. After setup, they don't have to do anything.
What about my parent's privacy if my siblings also see the dashboard?Family members only see "active recently" or "no activity in N hours." They don't see location, messages, or anything personal. The senior's dignity is the whole design.

The people who need StillFine most are usually too busy worrying to go looking for it. If a friend, coworker, or neighbor has a parent living alone — please pass this along. It's how the right families find us.
