We learned recently that not everyone needs to check in every single day. Sometimes reassurance is only needed on particular days of the week, which is why YourPING now gives you the flexibility to choose exactly which days your check-ins should run ...

YourPING just got even more convenient with the new feature allowing you to select specific days for check-ins

YourPING just got even more convenient with the new feature allowing you to select specific days for check-ins

The new Monday-to-Sunday check-in choices allow check-ins to fit around real life rather than expecting real life to fit around YourPING. For example, imagine a university student who lives away from home during the week, but returns to their family every weekend. There may be a good reason for them to check in Monday to Friday, but very little point while they are sitting at home with their family on a Saturday morning.

The same applies in many other situations!

Someone might work alone on particular days of the week, while spending the rest of their time surrounded by colleagues. A volunteer may regularly visit people in their homes on only certain days of the week, and someone living alone might spend every Wednesday with family or stay with their partner every weekend. YourPING can now work around those routines.

When setting up a check-in schedule, you can now choose the days on which it should operate. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday can each be switched on or off individually. If a day is switched off, YourPING doesn't schedule check-ins for that day.

The new option is also available for YourPING Group Mode, making it particularly useful for HR teams using YourPING to provide reassurance for people working alone or following regular weekly schedules. There's no point in an organisation checking in with them on their days off.

This might seem like a relatively small change, but we think
it makes YourPING considerably more flexible!

YourPING was never designed to monitor people or dictate how they should live their lives. It exists to provide a simple reassurance check-in when one is useful, followed by an alert to someone they trust if they don't respond. Giving people control over the days they check in is another part of that philosophy.

Because reassurance shouldn't mean sending unnecessary messages seven days a week. It should mean making sure someone notices when you're expected to check in, and you don't.

Until next time ...

About Steffi Lewis ...

Steffi Lewis 

Based in the charming village of Hanslope in Buckinghamshire, UK, I bring over 30 years of experience in web development. From creating my first website for the Open University in 1993, through being part of the dot com boom, to my explorations in SaaS and AI over the last few years, my journey has been a rich tapestry of web projects, big and small, both funded and bootstrapped.

YourPING was created around a very modern idea: in a world of remote work, automated living and digital communication, it has become surprisingly easy for people to quietly drift off the radar. Bills are paid automatically, shopping arrives online and many people can go days without speaking to someone directly, even while remaining connected to the world through screens and social media.

Designed as a calm and supportive daily check-in system, YourPING helps provide quiet reassurance for people who live alone, work remotely, travel frequently or simply value their independence. Using browser notifications, SMS backup alerts, email escalation and trusted contacts, the platform is intentionally simple to use without complicated gadgets, wearables or intrusive monitoring.

At its heart, YourPING is not about fear or surveillance. It is about modern independent living and the simple comfort of knowing that if something feels unusual, somebody will notice.

My head is in the cloud, my heart belongs to the web, and my soul is filled with such beautiful code 💚
