Handover helps parents share everything that matters when someone else takes over care. Create a simple, structured handover in under 60 seconds and share it as a secure link via SMS. No complicated logs, no long explanations, and no caregiver app downloads required to view a handover. Perfect for sharing care with partners, grandparents, babysitters, or childcare providers. Handover is designed to reduce mental load, prevent missed details, and make transitions calmer for everyone. Key features: • Fast, guided handover input • Secure handover links shared via SMS • Clear sections for routines, feeding, sleep, notes, and reminders • No manual data logging or ongoing tracking • Designed for real-life parenting, not perfection Caregivers can simply open a handover link without creating an account. For those who prefer ongoing access, caregivers also have the option to create an account to view connected families and handovers in one place. Handover offers a 14-day free trial, with ongoing access available via in-app subscription.

The task is big. Your first step doesn’t have to be. Just Start helps you begin the task you keep putting off. Describe what feels hard to start, find one small action, and take it into a short focus session. MAKE THE FIRST STEP SMALLER Ask the app’s AI for a concrete first step for your own task. Still feels like too much? Ask for a smaller action. If AI is unavailable, you can write your own step or use the timer directly. START WITH TWO OR FIVE MINUTES Begin a short session without answering a survey. Pause when you need to. Longer focus and break presets are available when you want more time. SUPPORT WHEN YOU WANT IT Choose visual timers and ambient sounds. Pro adds more sound options, mixing, and optional AI check-ins. These check-ins are automated messages, not a live person working beside you. KEEP A LITTLE MOMENTUM See your focus history and progress. Return to a recent task or use a routine for something you do regularly. Optional account sync is available; an account is not required to start. START FREE The free app includes up to three focus sessions and three AI task requests per day, core progress tools, and three ambient sounds. Pro adds unlimited focus sessions and expanded support. AI requires internet access and is subject to service limits. PRIVACY The timer and local progress work offline. When you request AI help, your task and relevant context are sent through our server to our AI provider. Optional account sync sends account and synced app data to our cloud service. Read the privacy policy before sharing sensitive task information.
