Handrail is for the days when everything is somewhere, and nothing is where you need it. It does three things and stays out of your way. It knows when you have to leave. Add a shift, and Handrail builds the day around it — pack, leave warning, hard leave, arrive. The alarms fire at the right time and name the things you always forget: badge, lunch, keys. It reads your paperwork. Take a photo of a bill, a letter, a posted schedule, even a schedule you wrote on paper. Handrail tells you what it is, what it costs, and what's due, then asks one question — "Set a reminder for the 28th?" — and files it where it belongs. Nothing is added until you say yes. It answers when you can't remember. Everything you capture lands in a vault you can ask in plain words. "When does my registration expire?" "How much was the dentist?" You get the answer and the paper it came from. And when your day comes apart, Reset gives you one small step. Just one. WHAT'S FREE Shifts, leave-by alarms, the prep timeline, essentials, and Reset. Forever. WHAT'S PRO Reading your captures, "What am I forgetting?" and Ask Handrail. Try a few for free, then $4.99 a month or $59.99 a year. Built for people with ADHD and anyone who lives on a changing schedule. No feed, no streaks, no nudges. Handrail only sends a notification when it's time to leave. Privacy: your captures are stored privately and are only read when you ask. Voice notes are turned into text on your phone. You can delete your account and everything in it from Settings at any time.
