Is Gran okay? When did anyone last visit? GranWatch answers that question โ€” for every member of the family, at a glance, without anyone having to ask. A colour-coded status ring tells you everything. Green means Gran was visited recently. Yellow means it's been a while. Red means the family needs to act โ€” and everyone gets a private nudge. No nagging group chats. No guilt. Just a quiet, shared awareness that keeps the whole family connected to the people who matter most. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add Gran's profile Create a profile with her name and photo. Set how often she should be visited โ€” once a week, twice a month, whatever works for your family. The ring starts counting. 2. Invite the family Share a link or invite code. Everyone joins the same profile in seconds. No app download required for family members โ€” they can join straight from their browser. 3. Log visits, stay green After each visit, tap "Log a Visit". The ring resets to green. If it turns yellow or red, the family gets a gentle nudge โ€” privately, without anyone being called out publicly. That's it. No complex setup. No learning curve. BUILT FOR FAMILIES WHO LIVE APART Whether you're across town or across the world, GranWatch keeps the whole family on the same page. Overseas workers checking in on parents back home. Families spread across cities and continents. Adult children juggling jobs and their own kids while trying to stay connected to ageing parents. GranWatch was built for exactly these situations โ€” when love is there but logistics are hard.
