Frequently Asked
Questions
Why do I need a FineButton?
FineButton helps the people you love know you’re Fine with just one tap a day. No messages, no calls, no location tracking.
How does FineButton work?
Simply tap the FineButton once a day. Your family can see that you’ve checked in. Sounds and Moments are available as part of FineButton. You can also choose how you want to be notified when your family checks in.
Does FineButton track my location?
No. FineButton does not collect, use, or share your precise location or location history.
Can my family see what time I checked in?
No. We intentionally don’t display check-in times. Your family only sees your daily check-in status.
What information does my family see?
Your family sees whether you’ve checked in today and any Moments you choose to share with them. They don’t see your exact check-in time or location.
Is FineButton an emergency app?
No. FineButton is not an emergency, SOS, medical, or safety-monitoring service. It is a simple daily connection ritual.
Do I have to check in every day?
No. FineButton is designed as a gentle habit, not an obligation.
Does FineButton replace talking to my family?
No. FineButton is a gentle first step toward connection, not a replacement for communication. A check-in can be a simple way to say “I’m here” and make it easier to reach out, start a conversation, send a message, or make a call when you want to. FineButton is designed to complement real conversations, not replace them.
Important Safety Notice
FineButton is not an emergency, SOS, medical, safety-monitoring, or location-tracking service.
FineButton does not:
• monitor your location, physical condition, safety, or wellbeing
• detect emergencies or dangerous situations
• contact emergency services
A check-in only indicates that a check-in was completed that day. It does not confirm or verify a person’s safety, health, location, or wellbeing.
A missed check-in does not mean that something is wrong.
If you or someone else may be in immediate danger or needs urgent help, contact emergency services (such as 911 in the United States) or your local equivalent. Do not rely on FineButton in an emergency.
Need more help?
If you have a question that isn’t covered here, contact the FineButton support team using the contact details provided in the app or on the official FineButton website.
What are Sounds?
Calming audio experiences: soundscapes, music and meditations.
Why do I see Sounds after my check-in?
They are a short, optional pause after your check-in.
What are Moments?
A personal memory from your day: one photo and a few words. The date is added automatically.
Who can create a Moment?
Every family member.
How many Moments can I create each day?
One per day, so Moments never turn into a social feed.
Who can see my Moment?
Your family, or only you if you choose “Only Me”.
Can I create a Moment without sharing it?
Yes. Choose “Only Me” to keep it private.
What can I add to a Moment?
One photo and a few words. The date is added automatically.
Are Moments connected to Sounds?
No. Moments are separate from Sounds.
