Built Rootcall with Flowstep, an app for anyone who's ever laid awake wondering if their parent is okay, three states away and out of easy reach πŸ’› My grandmother lives alone. Every "did you call her today?" text between me and my siblings started to feel like guilt disguised as love. I wanted something gentler, not a tracking app, not another notification to ignore, just a small, warm way to know she's okay without making her feel watched That's Rootcall. One tap in the morning says "I'm okay." Family sees it. Nobody has to ask.
21 screens, built out into a full, working experience across two modes:
Parent Mode - deliberately tiny and calm β†’ Home: one big "I'm okay" button, nothing else competing for attention β†’ Medication check-in: a soft, guilt-free checklist for the day's pills β†’ "Someone's checking on you": a quiet reminder that family saw it, without feeling surveilled β†’ Help screen: three simple steps, huge type, zero complexity, built for someone who's never used an app like this before Family Mode β€” where siblings actually coordinate β†’ Timeline + expanded entry view: every check-in, missed med, and note, with the ability to tap in and reply to each other β†’ Status card: today's snapshot at a glance β†’ Escalation flow: reminder, then family, then a call, then a neighbor, never straight to panic β†’ Log a note: for the stuff an app can't capture, "talked to her today, she sounded tired but good" β†’ Family circle + switch-between-parents view: for the reality that a lot of us are watching over more than one person β†’ Call-in-progress screen: tap "call now" and it actually connects, right from the app β†’ Weekly recap: a small, warm celebration, "7/7 check-ins this week" instead of a cold analytics dashboard The details that make it feel real β†’ Phone verification for parents joining β†’ A push notification mockup on an actual lock screen, so you can see exactly what "Eleanor hasn't checked in yet" looks like the moment it matters β†’ A full profile, notification, and settings system β†’ A splash screen and app icon, because even the first half-second should feel like care
Color and shape were just as intentional as the flows, warm cream, deep navy, one bold coral accent used only where it matters most, because this needed to feel like care, not surveillance.

Built entirely in @Flowstep prompt by prompt, screen by screen. Thank you @Contra HQ for the challenge, this one meant a lot to design.
