request: check in button

[nutpantz]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A majority of issues happen first thing in the morning, or just before bed which can mean that people go 8 to 10 hours before an alarm is sounded. At night an accident means everything thinks your fine until the next day. First thing in the morning an accident means it afternoon before anyone is worried.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to see a check in button. That resets a alarm check. Then the user can push the button in the morning when all is well and they are moving around, or at night when they are in bed before they decide to go to sleep. That would ensure"all is well"at those two points maybe an alarm to remind people to push the check in button.
Maybe like you see in pill reminder apps.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I cannot think of any other option for a"check in" i think the app is great just as it is. But would be better if "check in"s were added. Extra piece of mind.
Additional context
I would like to see the option for two (2) check-ins, maybe even more as some people might want a lunch and dinner check-in. So maybe the option for 1-4 set times

Would this be in addition to the automatic activity detection using the lock screen? Or instead of?

[nutpantz]

I am not sure. If an alarm went off and you had to "check in"that would that also trip the lock screen safety? Many alarms can be turned off without unlocking the device.

I think perhaps one enhancement which would partially addresss the original issue could be to have a "prompt and action block period" where user can specify time period the prompt won't be generated and therefore action won't be taken but the time is still counted towards inactivity. When the block period ends, if the hours without activity have exceeded during the block period the usual prompt is immediately generated and actions taken if not acknowledged. Personally I think this could simply be a change to the existing rest period feature which is a bit illogical given it can lead to a considerable "delay" of rest period + inactivity period, but alternatively added as a separate setting.
