HeyVini is live on WhatsApp and Telegram

Margaret watering her jasmine on the porch in the morning

You send Mom a message at breakfast. "Did you take your tablet?" By eleven you have checked your phone four times. Nothing is wrong. You just don't know that yet.

That open loop is the reason HeyVini exists, and as of today it is live.

What changed

Vini says good morning to your parent at the hour they pick, in the chat they already use. WhatsApp or Telegram, their choice. One reply, and everyone in the family can see they're up and about.

If there's no reply within an hour, or your parent says they're not feeling well, the family gets a nudge. You decide whether it's worth a call.

You can also hand Vini the small things in plain words. "Remind Mom about her BP pill at 11." "Ask Dad to receive the delivery at 12." And the numbers the family keeps texting each other for (the doctor, the neighbour, the handyman) live in one place Vini can hand out.

A real exchange with Vini, names changed.

Why we built it

Because the checking had become the relationship. Every call started with "did you". We wanted the calls back.

What it means for your family

Your parent installs nothing and learns nothing new. They reply to Vini the way they reply to you. Setup takes about two minutes on your side, and you can add your parents, siblings and caregivers, up to four people in the circle.

Start free, no card. If it saves you one afternoon of wondering, tell us.
