Heat alert
“It will be 35 °C at Mom’s today.” A reminder to give her a call.
Mom is up
Her phone’s step counter noticed she’s moving. She didn’t have to do a thing.
Grandma took her medication
The “Taken” button is also a sign of life. You can see it was done.
Morning summary
“Mom and Grandma have checked in. Still quiet at Dad’s – that’s fine for now.”
Dad is unusually quiet today
He usually checks in by 7:30. Not an alert yet – just a gentle heads-up for you.
Nesti chatted with Grandma
“In good spirits, slept well, the hairdresser is coming this afternoon.” Grandma has no smartphone – Nesti called her landline.
Dad’s quiet window is over
No sign yet, so we ask him first: “Are you okay?”
“Yes, I’m okay”
Dad answered. Nobody had to be alerted, and you carried on with your day.
You head home
Safe arrival timer until 21:00. If you don’t check in by then, we tell the family.
You’re home
One tap: I got there. The family knows.
New note in the family log
Peter: “Taking Dad to the doctor tomorrow – I’ll show him the monthly report too.”
Good night
Quiet hours begin. Tomorrow morning it all starts again.
When there really is no answer
Nestnod doesn’t raise the alarm right away. It asks first, then tells people in order – until someone takes it on.

Frequently asked questions
What is Nestnod?
A family safety app that quietly shows every day that your loved ones are okay. If someone goes unusually quiet, it asks them first if they’re okay, and only notifies the family if they don’t answer.
Does my elderly parent have to do anything?
On most days, nothing: on iPhone the phone’s step counter checks in automatically (coming soon on Android). Opening the app, tapping “I’m okay” or confirming a medication also count as signs of life.
How does Nestnod know what’s unusual?
Plus learns the usual daily rhythm – for example that Mom usually checks in by 7:30 and walks about 3,000 steps a day. If that changes noticeably – a late morning sign or much less movement for days – it gently lets you know, before any alert.
How do heat alerts work?
If you add your town, Plus checks the weather forecast each morning. Above 33 °C or below −10 °C it tells the people looking out for you to give you a call. We don’t track your location; the town is all we need.
What happens if there is no sign?
After the time you set (noon by default), Nestnod asks them: “Are you okay?” If there is no answer within 15 minutes, it alerts the first family member. If nobody responds within half an hour, the next one, and so on.
Does Nestnod track my location?
No. Your location is only sent to your family when you press “I need help”.
Is Nestnod an emergency service?
No. Nestnod notifies your family, not emergency services. In an emergency, always call your local emergency number.
How much does it cost?
The free plan includes everything that matters in an emergency. Plus is $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year with a 14-day free trial, and one subscription covers the whole family.
When does it launch, and which phones does it work on?
Nestnod is coming soon to iPhone and Android. Join the waitlist and we’ll let you know first.
What is simple mode?
A simpler screen for older people: one huge “I’m okay” button, large medication reminders and an “I need help” button. A family member can switch it on remotely.
What is Nesti?
Pro’s daily companion: it calls your parent every day and chats kindly for about two minutes about sleep, medication and plans. It’s an AI and says so at the start of each call. It only calls with their consent and can be stopped any time.
What does the family see from Nesti’s chats?
Only a short summary, e.g. “In good spirits, knee hurts a bit, the hairdresser is coming this afternoon.” The family never sees the conversation itself. If Nesti hears an emergency, it alerts the family right away.
Does it work without a smartphone?
Yes, with Pro: Nestnod calls the number you set every day, landlines included, and pressing 1 is a sign of life. If they don’t answer, we tell the family as usual.
What is a key-holder neighbor?
A neighbor or friend who doesn’t need the app. If nobody in the family responds, or your parent asks for help, they get a text with a link valid for 24 hours: the address, how to get in and the family’s phone numbers – so someone can be there within minutes.
We’ll be here tomorrow morning, too.
We’ll let you know as soon as Nestnod is available. We only write about the launch, nothing else.
