Care cards for your phone

The letter for the trustee. The cards for the sitter.

Pocket-size care cards, drawn from your letter: one topic each, sized for a phone screen, ready to message whoever is stepping in.

For the person helping tonight

One card says exactly enough.

The letter holds the whole story. A care card hands over just the piece the moment calls for: the emergency steps, the medications, the bedtime routine. One topic per card, in type large enough to follow at a glance, at arm’s length, on a hard night.

Each card is an image, sized for a phone screen and drawn from what you have already written. Save them to your phone (an album of their own, or marked as favorites) and they are always on hand: message one to tonight’s sitter, or send the set to the family group chat. No app, no online account, nothing to install.

Like the letter, the cards are free and made entirely on your device. Nothing is uploaded, and we never see a word.

Invented details, not a real person.

Think in Bundles

Named sets, same cards

A bundle is a list of card keys and nothing more, so a new one is a line of configuration. Families can also hand-pick. Each file downloads named for the person — Danny — Emergency Protocol.png — so the camera roll stays legible.
