Dementia Companion

Dementia Companion puts a warm, familiar world on the device your loved one already has. Designed for the person living with mild-to-moderate dementia to use themselves — but set up by you, the caregiver who loves them. In 20 minutes you can create something that brings real comfort on the hardest days. FAMILIAR FACES Record short greeting videos for every family member: "Hi Mom, it's Sarah, I love you, you're safe." Your loved one taps a face, and hears a voice they know. Oversized circles, no labels needed if the photos are large enough. MUSIC FROM THEIR YOUTH Curate playlists from ages 15–25 — the period most preserved in memory. One tap starts "Calm," "Happy," "From When I Was Young," or "Dance." Music therapy in the moment it's needed most. PHOTO STORIES Upload family photos with your notes. On-device AI generates a warm one-sentence caption ("You taught the grandkids to crab-fish in Cape Cod, 1994.") and reads it aloud in a clear, measured voice when tapped. THIS IS YOUR DAY A simple, large-type screen: today's date, next meal, who's visiting, the weather. Reduces "what's happening" anxiety without any back-and-forth. SUNDOWNING MODE (Family Plan) Between 4–7 PM — the danger zone — the screen brightens with a familiar voice, gentle music, and the photo album plays automatically. The hardest hour, handled. VALIDATION PROMPTS Record soothing responses to repetitive questions. When your loved one asks "where is my mother?" the app gently plays your recorded answer. NEW IN FAMILY PRO FAMILIAR VOICES — HEAR FAMILY IN THEIR REAL VOICE Using Apple's on-device Personal Voice, the app can read photo captions and morning greetings in a family member's actual voice — game-changing for distant loved ones. Consent is required for every voice and can be deleted instantly. FAMILY SYNC ACROSS DEVICES Brothers, sisters, and grandkids contribute photos, videos, and greetings from their own phones. The collection appears automatically on your loved one's device, and the caregiver dashboard stays in sync for everyone — powered by your family's private iCloud. HOME & LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS Today's date, the next meal, who's visiting, and a one-tap call to family — right on the Home Screen and Lock Screen, no app needed. A calming Live Activity stays present during the sundowning window. MEMORY BOOK & "WHAT MOM WATCHED TODAY" Export a beautifully typeset PDF keepsake of the photos and captions to print or share. Each week, send distant family a gentle note of what their loved one engaged with — the moments that bring everyone closer. MULTI-CAREGIVER ACCESS Sign in with Apple to add trusted family members with their own roles, so the right people set up content and receive wandering and check-in alerts. BUILT FOR DIGNITY Every design choice defends joy. No "patient" language. No cognitive tests. No sadness. Big, slow, warm, and quiet — the way an heirloom photo album feels, not a tablet. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Photos, voices, and memories stay on the device or in your family's own iCloud. No tracking, no ads, no data collected by us. — Caregivers set it up. Loved ones live in it. — Family Plan: $14.99/month or $129/year (14-day free trial) Family Pro: $24.99/month or $199/year — adds Familiar Voices, Family Sync, widgets, and Memory Book exports Memory Care Plan for facilities: $39.99/month Memory care facilities cost $4–8K per month. This is rounding error, and families know it. This app is a comfort and quality-of-life companion, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or monitor any condition. ——— Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://brainrash.com/apps/dementia-companion/privacy
