DayTap
Privacy-first daily check-in app with dead man's switch notifications
Visit blog.bymitch.com ↗What is DayTap?
DayTap is an iOS app that lets users perform a simple daily check-in by tapping a button. If you miss your check-in within a configured timeframe (e.g., 48 hours), the app automatically sends notifications to your designated contacts. It's designed for people who want to stay loosely connected with loved ones or for adults monitoring elderly relatives or children without intrusive tracking.
The app prioritizes privacy and simplicity. You add a few contacts, tap the button daily, and the system handles notifications if you go silent. The maker built it with Claude Code to explore AI-assisted iOS development.
