DoseGuard is the shared medication tracker built for families with multiple caregivers. When more than one person is giving medicine to a child, miscommunication can lead to missed doses or dangerous double-dosing. DoseGuard eliminates that risk. WHY DOSEGUARD? Coordinating your child's medication schedule across parents, grandparents, babysitters, and daycare providers is stressful. Paper logs get lost. Text messages get buried. Memory fails at 3 AM. DoseGuard gives every caregiver a single, reliable source of truth. KEY FEATURES SHARED CAREGIVER TRACKING Add parents, grandparents, babysitters, and other caregivers. Everyone sees the same medication log in real time. No more guessing whether someone already gave the next dose. DUPLICATE DOSE PREVENTION DoseGuard automatically alerts you if a dose has already been logged within the medication's scheduled interval. This built-in safety check helps prevent accidental double-dosing. MEDICATION MANAGEMENT Add each medication with its name, dosage, frequency, and schedule. Track prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and supplements all in one place. CHILD PROFILES Create a profile for each child with their name, date of birth, weight, and allergies. Weight-based dosing information is always at your fingertips. DOSE LOGGING WITH HISTORY Log every dose with a single tap. See who gave it, when, and any notes. Review the complete history anytime to spot patterns or share with your pediatrician. TODAY'S DASHBOARD See your child's next scheduled dose, today's summary, and recent activity at a glance. The dashboard keeps you informed without overwhelming you. SMART REMINDERS Enable notifications to get timely reminders when the next dose is due. Works even when your device is asleep. CAREGIVER ROLES Assign roles like Parent, Grandparent, Babysitter, or Doctor to each caregiver. Know at a glance who is responsible for each dose. ALLERGY TRACKING Record allergies for each child so every caregiver has critical safety information right on their device. DESIGNED FOR FAMILIES DoseGuard was designed from the ground up for the real-world chaos of family life. The interface is clean, simple, and fast because when your child needs medicine, you don't have time to navigate a complicated app. PRIVACY FIRST All data stays on your device. We don't collect, sell, or share your family's health information. Period. IMPORTANT: DoseGuard is a tracking and organizational tool. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations. Always consult your child's healthcare provider regarding medication decisions.

FoldLight is a widget-first controller for the lights on your own Home Assistant server. Put your lights on the Home Screen, Lock Screen, and in Control Center โ then toggle, dim, warm, or recolor them without ever opening an app. There's no FoldLight account, no cloud, and nothing to sign up for. Paste your Home Assistant address and access token once and you're set. FoldLight talks only to the server you already run. WIDGET-FIRST CONTROL Small and medium Home Screen widgets with a power toggle, brightness steps, and preset swatches โ each one acts directly on your lights, no app launch required. KNOWS EACH LIGHT Every light shows exactly the controls it supports โ on/off, dimming, color temperature, or full color โ detected automatically from Home Assistant. PRESETS Save Warm, Focus, Movie, or your own scenes and apply them from a widget or from Control Center. CONTROL CENTER & LOCK SCREEN Toggle your main light or apply a preset straight from the iOS system controls. LAUNCHER TILES, SIRI & SHORTCUTS One-tap tiles to Home Assistant or any page you use, plus App Intents for every action so you can automate them or ask Siri. TRY IT WITHOUT A SERVER Demo mode is on by default and works with sample lights, so you can explore everything before connecting. PRIVATE BY DESIGN FoldLight collects nothing. Your server address and token stay in your device's Keychain and traffic goes straight to your machine โ over your LAN or securely over Tailscale. Home Assistant is a trademark of the Open Home Foundation. FoldLight is an independent client and is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the Home Assistant project.
