A minute a day adds up

With dementia, small changes are easy to miss. A quick daily note gathers into a picture worth having — one to look back on, and to share with a GP or family.

Why we made this

"Carers give so much, often quietly and alone. This is a small way to lighten the load — to help you remember, notice, and feel a bit more supported."

Your privacy comes first

This is personal — built to keep what you record safe, and yours.

Common questions

A few things people often want to know.

Who is this for?

Family and friends caring for someone living with dementia — built around everyday caring, not clinical use.

Does it cost anything?

No — it's free to create an account and use.

Is my information safe?

Yes. Everything sits behind your own password-protected account and is visible only to you.

Can more than one person help?

Each carer has their own account today. Shared access for family is planned.

Does it give medical advice?

No — it's a personal organiser. For health matters, speak to your GP. In an emergency, call 999.
