Captain Patch
Read full descriptionHide full description
Getting a toddler to wear glasses or an eye patch every single day is a battle every parent of a child with amblyopia knows too well. Captain Patch turns that daily struggle into a reward — and into a habit. ———————————————— HOW IT WORKS ———————————————— Your child browses a visual library of their favourite cartoons and movies. The moment they press play, Captain Patch quietly activates the iPad's or iPhone's front camera and checks they're wearing their prescribed eyewear. When their glasses or patch are on — as required — the show begins. The moment their glasses or patch come off, even for a second, the cartoon pauses. A friendly animal wearing its own eye patch pops up on screen. The second your child puts their eyewear back on, the movie resumes exactly where it left off. No nagging. No battles. Just cartoons. ———————————————— CONFIGURABLE FOR YOUR CHILD'S PRESCRIPTION ———————————————— Every child's treatment is different. In Settings, you choose: Eye patch only — left eye or right eye Glasses only Eye patch and glasses together Captain Patch checks for exactly what your child has been prescribed — nothing more, nothing less. ———————————————— PRIVACY FIRST — EVERYTHING STAYS ON DEVICE ———————————————— The front camera never records or stores video. Detection runs entirely on-device using on-board computer vision. No images, no data, no cloud. Ever. ———————————————— YOUR MEDIA, YOUR LIBRARY ———————————————— Captain Patch works with videos stored locally on your device. Browse by category in a clean, visual interface — no subscriptions, no streaming, no internet required. ———————————————— TRACK PROGRESS, CELEBRATE WINS ———————————————— Daily and weekly wearing statistics for glasses, patch, or both Achievements and milestones to keep kids motivated A growing cast of adorable patch-wearing animal companions that appear when it's time to put the eyewear back on ———————————————— BUILT BY A DAD, FOR PARENTS LIKE YOU ———————————————— My two-year-old was diagnosed with amblyopia. Getting them to wear their patch and glasses every day was a constant battle — so I spent a weekend building a solution. Within days, their compliance transformed. Captain Patch is the app I wished existed. I'm sharing it hoping it helps your family too.

Burned out — and rest is not helping? Take a short burnout self-assessment, understand what may be draining your energy, and start a structured recovery plan built around your real workweek. Reset helps turn burnout recovery into clear, manageable next steps. Get daily guidance, small actions, and progress tracking—so you can see your recovery take shape over time. WHY RESET? Most wellness apps give you a library of calming content and leave you to work out what to do next. Reset gives you a clearer recovery loop: Understand your pattern → follow a plan → check in daily → adjust with real progress. WHAT YOU GET BURNOUT SELF-ASSESSMENT Complete a short, evidence-informed wellness assessment to explore your current burnout pattern, including overextension, disengagement, energy depletion, and work stress. YOUR 12-WEEK RECOVERY PLAN Follow a structured recovery plan shaped around your assessment and daily check-ins. Small, realistic actions are designed for demanding workdays—not perfect routines. PERSONALISED AI GUIDANCE Receive focused daily guidance based on your check-ins. Reset helps you reflect on the pattern behind your fatigue and choose one practical micro-action for today. 3-MINUTE DAILY CHECK-INS Track your energy, mood, stress load, and sleep in a few minutes. Build a clearer picture of what helps, what drains you, and how your recovery is changing. QUICK RESET SESSIONS Take a short pause when work stress feels too high. Use guided breathing, mental clarity, tension-release, and work-stress reset activities. PROGRESS TRACKING AND WEEKLY INSIGHTS See your plan average, check-in consistency, energy trend, main pressure points, and weekly recovery insights in one place. RESILIENCE MODE After completing your recovery milestones, continue with a lighter maintenance mode to protect your energy and support healthier work patterns.
