Frequently Asked Questions

Plain-language answers about check-ins, privacy, pricing, and sensors. No jargon.

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.

How much does the Carer Portal cost? +

AU$4.99 per month with a 14-day free trial. The core app is completely free. See the Carer Portal page for details.

Is my data stored in Australia? +

Yes. Core app data is stored on-device. Shared family data is hosted within Australia. See our Privacy Pledge.

Does Chuffty use cameras? +

No. Chuffty uses voluntary daily check-ins and optional MJYD02YL-A compatible motion sensors — never cameras.

What are Chuffty in-home sensors? +
