MINDER helps you start it — gently, over a card game if you like — and grows it into a circle of people who check on each other. Built before anyone needs it. Strengthened as they do.
private by design · AI stays on the device · works with secure messengers like Signal · free to start
Dad’s fine. But the envelopes are piling up, and you noticed.
MINDER inventories the obligations that keep life independent — bills, refills, rides — and alerts only on exceptions. Silence is a good report.
You know you should ask about the will. You don’t know how to start.
Conversation starters ride on game nights, easiest first. The legal ones arrive when the room is already warm.
You’d be there in a heartbeat — if you knew which heartbeat.
Roles, check-in rhythms, and a clear escalation path: friend, family, caregiver, counsel. Everyone knows their part before it’s needed.
MINDER is not a monitor and it is not for "patients." It's the infrastructure a family builds together, ideally while everyone is well — so that if a day comes when someone isn't, the right people already know what matters and are already in the habit of showing up. And when the starting point is someone already drifting out of reach, the circle is how you team up to bring them back in — several people, small check-ins, nobody carrying it alone.
A preparedness conversation across six domains — finances, legal, health, daily living, social, digital — and each domain covered earns its check. Nobody starts with all six; the missing checks become your family’s roadmap.
One trusted person, a named role, and permissions granted by scope with an expiry — staged so everyone sees exactly who can see what. Revocable anytime, in one gesture.
Asynchronous check-ins at each relationship’s natural pace — maybe weekly with your sister, now and then with an old friend. MINDER nudges sparingly, never nags, and the questions deepen through play, not paperwork.
your circle, assembling — one arrival at a time, each greeted in its own style
Nobody opens with "where is your will?" MINDER keeps 78 conversation starters keyed to game nights — Uno, Jenga, Scrabble, Catan — so the big questions arrive as small ones, exactly when everyone's laughing. Answers file themselves into your family's story library and legal packet, with consent, every time.
Warm memories come first. Health care proxies come later — after a Wild Draw-4, when they're easy.
A time you felt loved.
Uno — after any color-matching card. Frequent, low friction. Saves to the story library.
The AI runs on the device. Family messages travel end-to-end encrypted. Every permission is granted by name, by scope, with an expiry date — and revocable in one gesture. There is no company server holding your family's life.
Your family already talks somewhere private. MINDER meets them there — check-ins and nudges arrive over the encrypted messenger you already use, Signal first among them. Not another inbox.
Reads the address book and calendar you already keep — birthdays, appointments, the people who matter — with permission, on the device.
The network runs on the open Matrix protocol. No lock-in: your family’s data is portable, federated, and never parked on our servers.
Language models run locally — zero cost per question, nothing sent to a cloud unless you explicitly opt in for a specific task.
deny-by-default access · consent tokens with expiry · tamper-evident audit trail your family can read
Another app, Ruth? More AI in the house, more listening, another subscription that locks you in.
That’s exactly why I asked you first. Go on — ask it.
Fair worries, Marc. The models run on this phone. Nothing leaves it, and a question costs nothing.
Until the company folds and the family’s data is hostage.
The network runs on Matrix — open and end-to-end encrypted. If MINDER disappears tomorrow, the data walks out with the family.
And I’d be checking in over… what, exactly?
Whatever secure messenger you already use — Signal, say. No new inbox. And anything Ruth grants you, she can revoke in one gesture.
…Fine. Who holds the spare key?
Now you’re in the circle.
MINDER is built for two of you: someone who wants to help, and someone who could use a hand with the digital side of life. The connection forms at their pace, on their terms — here is how founding minders do it.
You onboard yourself before anyone else — your accounts, your people, your six checks in progress. When you arrive with your own circle, you’re inviting them into something you do, not something you’re doing to them.
The ask is never "I’m worried about you." It’s "be in my circle." They join as your minder first — the roles are mutual from day one, and nobody is cast as the patient.
The first assistance mode is Advise & Remind: no accounts, no passwords, no monitoring. Supported actions and delegated authority come later — each by explicit, named, revocable consent.
Check-ins over the messenger they already trust, an interface that grows calmer as needs change, voice when typing is hard — and game nights carrying the questions that matter.
"I set this up for myself — my accounts, my people, my what-ifs. I'd like you in my circle. And honestly, I'd feel better if we did yours too."
We're recruiting people like you: healthy, organized, quietly worried about someone — and willing to go first. Founding minders build their own circle, connect one person who needs digital support, and shape what MINDER becomes. In return: the standard tier free forever, a direct line to the research team, and the printed Network Health drill kit.
Real families never beta-test safety. Every agent behavior was exercised against synthetic families first — over 1,000 interactions across six agents and 46 tools — with the results below, before the first household joins. The research behind it is in independent peer review.
someone always goes first — crossing alone, greeting on the way, holding the far side until the others arrive
The founding cohort is 30–50 households, onboarded personally, starting late 2026. We ask three things and nothing else — no phone number, no address, no marketing consent buried in the fine print.
For geriatric practices, health systems, community-based organizations, and researchers in aging. Partners get what families get — plus the evidence layer: the full validation suite, a readable audit trail, and a pilot protocol we design together.
1,000+ synthetic interactions before any human household; zero security violations; deny-by-default held across all seven roles. You review the raw validation suite, not a summary slide.
Every agent action lands in a tamper-evident audit trail — readable by families and reviewable by your compliance team. Consent is scoped, named, time-bound, revocable.
We co-write the protocol: your population, your outcome measures, IRB-ready documentation. Research basis submitted for independent peer review.
Matrix underneath, on-device models, data portable by design. If a pilot ends, families keep everything — there is nothing to migrate off of.
