ViYomi is an app with one button. Mom presses it in the morning, and if the press doesn’t come, you get a message. No cameras, no tracking, and no asking “Is everything OK?” every single day.
For Android. A free version for one contact.
No menus and no passwords. Open it, press, and that’s it. After the press, a big check mark appears, and the day is done.
You set the press-by time and the wait once, during setup. From then on, it all happens on its own.
The siblings, the grandchildren, the daughter who lives abroad. ViYomi is installed only on Mom’s phone, and everyone else simply gets a message when it’s needed. And if she presses later, everyone gets a message that all is well.
Every message is a service message about one specific parent. There is no marketing, no promotions and nothing that is sent on a schedule for its own sake. A family sees at most one alert per day, and on most days no message at all.
Recipients do not sign up themselves. While setting the app up on the parent’s phone, a family member asks each relative for permission and enters a name and number only after they agree. The app reminds them to ask and offers the words to use (the consent script).
Each number then receives one message saying which parent it is about and what they will receive, with a link to stop. The link keeps working for as long as the number is on the list.
Open the link in the first message. It shows a confirmation page, and the number is removed as soon as the recipient confirms there. Removal is immediate and needs no phone call and no account. The confirmation step exists so that automatic link scanners cannot remove someone by accident.
If that first message is gone, email viyomi@app4everyone.com. A number in the US or Canada can also reply STOP to any message.
Questions about a message you received, or a request to be removed, are answered at the same address.
Messages are sent in Hebrew. English translations are shown here for readers who do not read Hebrew.
ViYomi stores the family’s settings, the daily press and a log of the messages it sent. It has no location tracking, no microphone, no camera and no access to the phone’s contact list, and it does not sell data to anyone. Day records and the message log are deleted after 90 days, and the app’s settings include deleting everything. The full text is in the privacy policy.
No reminders and no messages, by the Shabbat times of the city you picked.
A trip, a stay at your place, or a hospital stay? Pause it, and the check comes back on its own.
From the main screen, Mom can call her main contact without searching.
No location, no microphone and no access to the phone’s contacts. Privacy policy
Mom’s reminders are never limited, in either version.
Up to five contacts, messages by SMS, voice call or WhatsApp, and no limit on the number of alerts. You can cancel at any time.
You pay in the app, through Google Play, or on the website, where any of the contacts can pay for Mom.
