Check in
Use this app if you wish to let someone (or a group of people) know that you are "ok". Open the app once a day and click on the "Check in" button and you are done.
There is also a widget that you can add to your Android home screen that will give you a visual prompt to check in each day.

Check up
Use this app to check up on someone (or a group of people). The app will show who has not yet checked in that day.
There is also a widget that can be used to show a count of how many people are still to check in and will show all ok when everybody has checked in for that day.
