Just checking in is an expression used to start an email. It is intended to be a friendly way to prompt someone to respond or perform a given action.
However, because it is so commonly used to remind someone of something they need to do, it can come across as passive-aggressive. To avoid this, it can be replaced with other expressions, such as โIโd love to get an update on โฆโ
In more personal contexts, โjust checking inโ is often used when asking about someoneโs well-being (e.g., โI just wanted to check in on youโ). Here, it doesnโt have a passive-aggressive connotation.
