A quick tour

Ten screens from the app itself, photographed with a made-up family: Margaret, her husband Peter, their children Helen and Tom, and Rosa, who comes in three mornings a week. Nothing here is drawn for the page - this is what you will see.

The Overview on a computer: the menu down the left; in the middle, Margaret's check-in, three of ten things done today, Rosa here since 07:58 and what is later today; on the right, the day's counts.
On a computer. The same app runs on a phone - every screen below is from one.

  1. Today, what needs doing first

    Open the app and this is the first screen: everything today for everybody you look after - anything late or due first, then what is later, with what is done folded into one line.

    • Who has said they're OK today - here Margaret, from the tablet in her kitchen.
    • Who is here, and since when.
    • How much of the day is done, with one button on each thing still to do.
    The Overview on a phone: Margaret's check-in this morning, three of ten things done today, Rosa here since 07:58, and the morning routine three steps in, under Later today.

  2. The month at a glance

    The date at the top picks the day for every screen. Open it and the month shows which days have something on them.

    • A dot under any day with a dose, a task, a shift or a note.
    • A shaded day with a coloured dot for an appointment, in the colour of the person it's for.
    • Tap a day and the whole app moves to it - yesterday's doses, next Tuesday's visit.
    The calendar open on a phone: October, with dots under most days and four appointment days shaded.

  3. Every medicine, and what it's for

    Each person's medicines with the dose, the times and the reason they take it, so somebody new can follow it without asking.

    • Important medicines marked, and chased if a dose goes unrecorded.
    • Stock counted down, with a reminder before it runs out.
    • Medicines given only when needed carry their own limits - a minimum gap and a daily maximum.
    The medicines list on a phone, under Margaret's name: Metformin 500 mg for diabetes, a tablet at eight and six, marked important, and Ramipril for blood pressure.

  4. Routines, ticked off as they're done

    A routine is the same few things every morning or every evening. It sits on the day as one row and opens into its steps.

    • Each step says who did it.
    • "Tick off the rest" when the morning went to plan.
    • A routine can repeat by itself - every day, or on the days you choose.
    Margaret's morning routine opened on a phone: washing and dressing, breakfast and a short walk ticked off by Rosa, the crossword still to do.

  5. Appointments, and the questions to ask

    Who is going, who is taking them, and the questions the family wrote down beforehand.

    • Anyone in the family can add a question before the day.
    • The answers and the doctor's notes are written up afterwards, with the follow-up date.
    • Reminders before each one, as far ahead as you choose.
    The appointments list on a phone: a diabetes nurse review today with two questions to ask, and a cardiology check-up in three days with Tom going.

  6. The care log

    What actually happened, day by day: meals, sleep, mood, anything worth knowing - written by whoever was there.

    • Speak a note instead of typing it.
    • Readings like blood pressure and sugar, flagged when they're outside the usual range.
    • Notes the family keeps to itself are hidden from hired carers.
    The care log on a phone, a day at a time: under Today, Margaret ate all of her breakfast and slept through the night.

  7. The charts a nurse asks for

    Fluids, bowels, turning, pain and behaviour - kept a line at a time, and printed for the nurse.

    • How much has been drunk against the day's aim.
    • A reminder when the fluids fall short or a turn is late.
    • A month on one sheet, with each day's fluids added up.
    The fluid chart on a phone: 450 of 1,500 ml drunk so far today, tea at 08:20 and water at 10:00.

  8. Who is coming, and their hours

    The rota for everybody who helps, paid or not - and, for those who are paid, the hours that become their pay.

    • Standing arrangements book themselves a month ahead.
    • Carers clock in and out on their phone, and the handover writes itself.
    • Hours agreed, payslips and holiday counted - the paid half of allfami.
    The rota on a phone: Rosa from eight till two today, already here, and booked for her next morning too.

  9. What the family has paid for

    Who in the family paid for what - the pharmacy, a taxi, a rail in the bathroom - and who owes whom.

    • Split the way you agreed: half each, or any shares you like.
    • The fewest payments that even everybody up.
    • A receipt with each cost, and the year's list for the tax return.
    Shared costs on a phone: to even up, Tom pays Helen £46.40 - then where everyone stands, with costs split half each.

  10. A screen at home

    An old tablet in the kitchen, showing the person their own day in big letters - the time, the next medicine, who is coming.

    • One big button: "I'm OK today".
    • Set up with six digits, like a television - nobody signs in on it.
    • If the family allows it, a regular medicine can be marked taken from it.
    The screen at home on a kitchen tablet: the day and the time in big letters, a big I'm OK today button, the next medicine at one o'clock and Rosa there until two.
