The light's on for you. Grief doesn't keep office hours. It arrives at 2 a.m., in the grocery aisle, on an ordinary Tuesday. The Light's On is a quiet place to keep the people you've lost close, and something steady to reach for on the days that knock you down. Keep them close Save their stories, photos, recipes, and the things they always said. Record their voice, or your own telling a story about them, and the app writes down what was said so you can read it too. Add as many photos, videos, and documents as you like, with no limits on length or size. Write to them Letters to the person you miss, private unless you choose to share one. Tell them about your day, what you're thankful for, or anything you didn't get to say. Say it out loud if that's easier. Keep what they gave you What you're carrying forward: their lessons, their habits, the way they treated people. Good moments worth saving. Notes written on a lighter day for your future self, shown back to you when things feel heavy. When it's hard "I need a moment" is at the bottom of every screen: slow breathing, gentle words, and a soothing sound if you want one. At night there's a dim, quiet space for when sleep won't come. "Talk to someone" is at the top of every screen, one tap from 988 and from a ready-made message to someone you trust, because it's hard to find words when you need them most. Hard days, handled gently Add birthdays, anniversaries, and the day they died, and choose when to be reminded. The app can help you tell your people what you need before the day arrives, so you're not carrying it alone.
