Lifestyle App of the Month – Esen Life

Last week our team reviewed Esen Life, a family safety and organization app. While it excels at real-time location sharing, what stood out most were the thoughtful extras—like task management, safe zone alerts, and emergency support. With its well-rounded feature set and focus on everyday family needs, we’re naming Esen Life our Lifestyle App of the Month. Here's why it earned the spotlight.

In today’s fast-paced world, keeping up with family members—where they are, what they’re doing, and what’s coming up next—can feel like a full-time job. That’s where Esen Life steps in. This family-focused app, available on iOS (soon it will be available for Android as well), offers a thoughtful blend of safety tools and organizational features that help households stay informed and connected without constant back-and-forth.

At the heart of Esen Life is real-time family location tracking. Parents can see exactly where their children are at any given moment and view a log of past locations for added context. It's not just about monitoring—it’s about reassurance. For caregivers with teens or elderly parents, that visibility can offer significant peace of mind.

The app also allows users to define Safe Zones, like a school, workplace, or home. Once set, Esen Life will automatically notify you when a family member arrives at or departs from these zones. It’s a simple way to stay updated without the need to send a check-in message.

Another highlight is the secure family messaging feature. The app supports text, photo, video, and location sharing—all within a private, encrypted environment. Whether it’s a quick “on my way” message or sharing a moment from a child’s soccer game, the communication stays direct and personal.

Perhaps one of the most vital tools is the built-in Emergency Help Button. With a single tap, a user can send an urgent alert along with their live location to chosen contacts. It’s a small feature that could make a big difference in moments of distress.

Beyond safety, Esen Life includes a shared family calendar to coordinate appointments, birthdays, and school events. It even sends reminders, helping reduce the mental load often carried by one or two family members. There’s also task management built into the app, allowing users to assign chores and track their completion—a simple way to boost collaboration and teach younger users responsibility.

A helpful touch for tech-conscious parents: the app notifies you when your child’s phone is running low on battery. It’s a small detail, but one that helps prevent unnecessary worry when a phone unexpectedly goes dark.

With a clean interface and a focus on family-first functionality, Esen Life doesn’t try to do too much—it does what it’s designed for, and does it well. As families juggle work, school, extracurriculars, and everything in between, this app acts as a quiet but steady hand in the background, helping everyone stay safe, on track, and just a bit more connected.

Smarter Scheduling With Calendar Integration

What truly sets 60 Second Workouts apart is its calendar-smart reminder system. Users can connect the app to their work calendars or manually select preferred times, and the app intelligently finds open slots to nudge them to move. If a meeting runs long, no problem—just hit “delay,” and the workout will pop back up later. Already completed it? Tap “done” and carry on with your day.

Safe, Guided, and On Demand

Every workout comes with tap-to-watch form videos and modifications, ensuring you perform each movement correctly and safely—even in your living room or office. And for those who want a bit more, the on-demand builder allows users to create extra sessions focused on specific areas like core, back, or flexibility—ideal for personalized tuning.
