How Aged Oak works

Each day you can tap a large "I'm doing great" button. Your family members get a notification — by email, push, or text, whichever each prefers — confirming you've checked in. If you don't check in, a reminder is sent, and family can see the missed check-in on their dashboard.

You choose how each contact prefers to hear from Aged Oak — by email, push notification, or text message (WhatsApp coming soon). Email is the default. They're told when you check in, and alerted if you miss a check-in. If their preferred way can't reach them, Aged Oak automatically tries their other channels.

No. Email only needs their address. For push notifications, we give you a link to send them; they open it on their phone and tap “Turn on alerts” (on iPhone, they add Aged Oak to their home screen first). For text messages, they first get a text asking them to reply YES — nothing else is sent until they do.

Yes, at any time. Every email has a “Stop these emails” link, push alerts can be turned off from the same link or in phone settings, and they can reply STOP to any text. You can also turn off notifications for any contact in Settings.

Yes. You can change from daily, weekly, or monthly check-ins anytime in your settings. Your emergency contacts will be notified of the schedule change.

The SOS button connects to 911 with one tap and simultaneously sends your location and a message to your emergency contacts. Response time depends on your location and local emergency services.

No. Family members see only what you authorize: check-in status, medication reminders (if shared), location (if opted-in), and emergency medical info. Your privacy is always in your control.

Yes. We send gentle notifications at the time you're supposed to take your medications. You can customize reminder frequency and snooze or dismiss them as needed.

You'll receive a reminder notification. If you miss multiple check-ins, your emergency contacts are alerted on their preferred channel (email, push, or text). The exact escalation depends on your plan and preferences.

Currently, Aged Oak is an app-based platform. However, our large buttons and voice assistant are designed for easy use without typing.

Yes. Aged Oak works on any device with a web browser. You can check in from phone, tablet, or computer — your contacts and settings sync automatically.
