Accountability that runs itself
Your clients follow through. You stop chasing.
Helping sends every check-in on schedule, logs every reply, and follows up with the clients who go quiet — so you see who's on track at a glance, without the daily chase. Clients reply by SMS or Telegram. Nothing to download, nothing to remember, nothing that falls through.

How it works
Three steps. Most coaches are sending their first check-in within ten minutes of signing up.
Set your check-ins
Add a client, choose what you want to ask, and pick a time and a channel. Helping handles timezones, so a 9am check-in lands at 9am wherever your client is.
Daily, weekly, or a custom schedule. SMS first, Telegram first, or both — your call.
They reply by message
Your client gets a short, personal check-in from you — by SMS or Telegram — and taps yes or no, or writes back in their own words. Nothing to install. Nothing to log into.
One question per message. Replies are captured automatically and matched to the right client.
You stay on top of it
Open the dashboard on your phone and see, at a glance, who has checked in, who is waiting, and who has gone quiet — with every reply logged and streaks tracked for you. Helping follows up with the quiet ones, so nothing falls through.
Colour-coded status cards. Sort by who needs you most. Pull to refresh.
That's the whole product. You set it. It runs.
Built to keep your clients on track
Everything below ships in the launch release. No paid add-ons, no locked features on the middle plan.
Check-ins that go out on time, every time
Schedule check-ins by day and time, per client. Helping dispatches them within 60 seconds of the scheduled moment, respects quiet hours, and never sends a duplicate. Reliability is the metric we care about most.
See who needs you, in one glance
A mobile-first dashboard with colour-coded status cards — green for checked in, amber for waiting, red for missed. Sort by who needs attention. Pull to refresh. Dark by default, because that is how most phones are set.

3 clients haven’t checked in today
One system, every channel your clients already use
Meet your clients where they already are — SMS works on every phone, Telegram gives you tap-to-reply buttons and is free to send, and WhatsApp Business arrives once Meta approves our application. Helping routes every check-in and every reply through one logged, trackable system, whichever channel it lands on.
Nothing falls through the cracks
If a client misses a check-in, Helping follows up on the next channel after the timeout you set, then quietly lets you know if they still have not replied. Each step is logged. Escalation stops the moment they respond.
A quiet heads-up before a client drops off. Helping flags clients who have missed two or more check-ins in a row, so you can step in before they go quiet for good. One badge, one tap, no panic.
Messages that read like you sent them
Every check-in carries your name and your voice, not ours. Your clients never see the word "Helping" in a message. The system is the stage; you are the performer.
Track compliance without spreadsheets
Streaks, response rates and an engagement score per client, updated daily. Share a read-only progress link with a client — no login, expires in 24 hours — so they can see their own momentum.

Coaches who stopped chasing, and started coaching
Helping is in early access with a small group of coaches. Here's what they've told us so far — we'll add named, photographed stories as the beta grows.
Early access
“I was spending the first hour of every day chasing people in three different group chats. Now Helping sends the check-ins, and I just open my phone to see who's done the work. I got that hour back in week one.”
Early access
“My clients never had to download anything. Half of them didn't even know it wasn't me typing the messages. My compliance rate went from about 60% to over 80% in a month.”
Early access
“I came off Nudge Coach when it shut down and I was dreading the move. Helping did the one thing I actually needed — reliable accountability check-ins — without making my clients learn a new app. Migration took an afternoon.”
Questions coaches ask before they sign up
