Can I use Chuffty without an internet connection? +
Yes. The basic Chuffty mobile application securely holds all your data entirely offline, on-device. You do not need constant internet to log daily activities and check-ins.
How does the daily wellness check-in notify emergency contacts? +
A reminder prompts you at your set time. If an activity is not logged within 15 minutes, a caregiver receives an automated email or SMS. If left unaddressed for 30 minutes, automatic SMS or email alerts go to your full care circle.
What is Chuffty? +
A privacy-first daily wellness app for seniors and families. Check-ins, ADL logging, reminders, and optional family sharing — all designed to support independent living at home.
Who is Chuffty for? +
Independent seniors staying at home longer, and the sandwich generation — adult children who want peace of mind without nagging phone calls. Those with ADHD find the task and meds remonder features very useful, helping to reduce stress and anxiety of forgetting important things.
