Private beta, summer 2026 Encrypted Never sold
It's 11pm, and you're worrying again.
You live two hours away, maybe more. The group text has gone quiet, and you called twice today with no answer.
So you sit with it. Did she take her meds? Is he eating? You're the one who handles things, and right now you're handling them blind.
It doesn't have to feel like this. Imagine one quiet glance that says they're okay, before the worry even starts.
Close, in three simple steps.
Set it up
Get started in minutes, together. We'll walk you both through it, no tech degree required.
They get one screen
Your parent opens to one simple screen. No passwords, no menus, nothing to break.
You get one glance
Open the app and see they're safe and well, anytime you wonder.
One glance. The whole picture.
Always know they’re safe
See their location and set gentle safe zones around home and the places they go. If they ever need help, one tap sends an SOS to you first, with their exact spot pinned.
“She’s home. Battery’s fine. Took her morning meds. You last spoke 40 minutes ago.”
Stay close every day
Call, send a voice message, or share a family photo in seconds. Little moments that say “I’m thinking of you” without waiting for the phone to ring.

Everyone on the same page
Add siblings, a spouse, or a trusted neighbor to a shared care team. One calm source of truth, so the care never lives in a group text again.
For them, it just feels like family.
No learning curve. No frustration. Just a warm, simple screen that's effortless to use, because dignity matters as much as safety.
- No passwords. It's always on and ready. Nothing to remember.
- Big, friendly buttons. Tap a face to call. That's the whole thing.
- Photos from family. A new picture each day, right where they'll see it.
- Never a paywall. They never see a bill, a setting, or a sign-up. Ever.
A thread, not a watchful eye.
This isn't a tracking device, and it's nothing like a panic pendant. It's a quiet line of care between you and someone you love. On your terms, private by design.
You decide who's on the care team and what gets shared. It's reassurance, not surveillance, and it's always your call.
“A thread between us, not a leash on him.” The whole idea, in seven words
Good questions, honest answers.
Not at all. Their side is one simple screen. No passwords, no menus. If they can tap a photo, they can use it.
No. This isn't surveillance, it's connection. You both decide what's shared, and it's designed to feel like family checking in, not someone looking over their shoulder.
Yes. Everything's encrypted and HIPAA-aligned, and we never sell your data or run ads. Your family's moments stay yours.
The caregiver app launches on iPhone first, with Android on the way. Your parent's side is one simple screen that's always ready. Nothing for them to set up or update.
$14.99 a month, or $119 a year, with a 7-day free trial. One plan, no add-ons, and your parent never sees a bill.
