How eNeighbor Works

eNeighbor™ helps you stay connected with someone you care about - without adding another daily task to either of your lives.

Each morning, at a time you choose, eNeighbor notices whether you have used your smartphone as you normally would. If you have, your day goes on as usual.

If eNeighbor has not noticed you as that time draws near, it nudges you first, so you can settle it yourself. Only if the time passes with still no sign of you does eNeighbor let the person you chose know. They can send a text, make a call, or simply check in.

It is a simple way to say, "I'm up and moving through my day," without having to remember a daily call or wear a device.

It Works with the Phone You Already Use

There is no pendant to wear, no special button to press, and no separate device to charge.

eNeighbor works with the smartphone already in your life. You choose the morning check-in time and the person you want to stay connected with. Once it is set up, it works quietly in the background.

If there is a tablet in the house as well, eNeighbor can be on both. It notices whichever one you pick up, so a morning spent away from one of them still counts.

Think of it like a friendly neighbor noticing that your curtains are open in the morning - not watching your day, just recognizing a familiar sign that things are moving along.

What Happens Each Morning

  1. You use your phone as you normally do.
  2. eNeighbor recognizes that you have used it by the time you selected.
  3. On an ordinary morning that is the end of it. No alert, no message, no interruption.
  4. If that time is drawing near and eNeighbor has not noticed you yet, it nudges you first - a quiet note to you alone, so you can settle it yourself.
  5. Only if the time passes with still no sign of you does the person you chose get a gentle heads-up.

That is all there is to it.

A missed check-in is simply a reason for someone to reach out. Maybe your phone is charging in another room. Maybe you slept late. Maybe you are busy doing something else. The person who cares about you can check in without making assumptions.

Set Up eNeighbor Together

Getting started is easy:

  1. Download eNeighbor from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
  2. Invite the person you want to connect with.
  3. Choose the time you would like the morning check-in to happen.
  4. Follow the on-screen setup steps.

After that, eNeighbor is there when you need it and out of the way when you do not.

Who eNeighbor Is For

eNeighbor is for people who want to keep living life on their own terms while staying lightly connected to someone they trust.

It may be especially helpful for:

A Little Connection Can Go a Long Way

eNeighbor was created for the space between "I'm fine" and "I need help."

It is not about checking up on someone. It is about making connection easier - so the people who care about each other can feel a little more at ease, while everyone keeps living their own life.
