Parent Mode - deliberately tiny and calm
→ Home: one big "I'm okay" button, nothing else competing for attention
→ Medication check-in: a soft, guilt-free checklist for the day's pills
→ "Someone's checking on you": a quiet reminder that family saw it, without feeling surveilled
→ Help screen: three simple steps, huge type, zero complexity, built for someone who's never used an app like this before
Family Mode — where siblings actually coordinate
→ Timeline + expanded entry view: every check-in, missed med, and note, with the ability to tap in and reply to each other
→ Status card: today's snapshot at a glance
→ Escalation flow: reminder, then family, then a call, then a neighbor, never straight to panic
→ Log a note: for the stuff an app can't capture, "talked to her today, she sounded tired but good"
→ Family circle + switch-between-parents view: for the reality that a lot of us are watching over more than one person
→ Call-in-progress screen: tap "call now" and it actually connects, right from the app
→ 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
→ Phone verification for parents joining
→ 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
→ A full profile, notification, and settings system
→ A splash screen and app icon, because even the first half-second should feel like care
