The Problem
Sound familiar?
Forgetting appointments, running late, or feeling rushed creates anxiety for aging adults
“Mom keeps missing her doctor appointments because she loses track of time”
“Dad gets anxious and rushed when he realizes he's running late”
“I can't always be there to remind my parents when they need to leave”
“Regular alarms are jarring — they startle more than they help”
When it matters most
Doctor appointments, social events, daily routines that require leaving the house

Getting Started
How It Works
Simple by design — here's the flow.
Set a departure — enter appointment time, app calculates when to start getting ready
Customize checklist — add items to remember before leaving (keys, meds, coat)
Countdown begins — gentle reminders at 60, 30, 15, and 5 minutes before departure
Final nudge — 'Time to head out! You have everything on your list.'
Caregiver gets a quiet confirmation when their loved one marks departure complete
