For families living far apart

Stay close without watching closely.

CareBear gives Priya recent activity context and a prepared backup plan without asking Meena to share her location, wear a device, or prove she is okay every day.

“I don’t want to be tracked.”
The tension

The usual check-in options ask Meena to give something up.

Priya needs more than an unanswered call. Meena wants to keep her independence. Most products force one of them to compromise.

01 · LIVE LOCATION

“I don’t want you tracking me.”

A live map gives Priya more access than Meena is comfortable sharing.

02 · MEDICAL WEARABLE

“I’m not old.”

A pendant can feel stigmatizing and only works when Meena remembers to wear it.

03 · REPEATED CHECK-INS

“Please stop checking on me.”

Priya keeps asking. Meena feels watched. Neither one gets real reassurance.

CareBear is the useful middle between guessing and surveillance Three comparison cards. Guessing and repeated calls provide too little context. CareBear provides recent activity, a chosen wait time, and a prepared backup plan without sharing location. Live location and surveillance provide too much access.

The privacy boundary

A signal passes through. A location trail never does.

Activity passes through. Location stays private.
What Priya sees

Three clear states. Never a map.

Priya does not need to interpret raw motion logs. CareBear translates them into simple, human-readable context.

Set it once

Meena chooses who, when, and what.

The setup is short because the product is designed to disappear into normal life afterward.

01

Create followers

Add your trusted people as followers so they can receive your lost contact alert.

02

Set up delayed message

Select number of days you want CareBear to wait before sending out lost contact alert. Set a custom message you want to include in lost contact alert. It can be anything you want your follower to be aware of, such as pet care notes, school pickup details, neighbor contacts.

03

CareBear will take care of the rest

CareBear quietly uses your phone’s motion activity, so your followers can know you were recently active. If you stop moving past your wait time, CareBear alerts your followers and sends them delayed messages.

Then Meena goes back to her life.

Why CareBear is mostly silent

Normal motion resets the timer. Only prolonged stillness crosses the threshold.

The default experience is a simple check-in confirmation, not an alarm. A lost contact alert only appears after prolonged stillness.

A normal week

Activity keeps returning the timer to two days.

Meena does not need to tap anything. Her ordinary phone motion is enough.

When contact is lost

Stillness continues past Meena’s chosen wait time.

The threshold is deliberate, not a constant stream of alarming notifications.

Why it feels different

Reassurance for Priya. Independence for Meena.

CareBear stays out of the way on normal days and becomes useful only when the family’s prepared plan is needed.

For Priya

Enough context to stop guessing every time a call goes unanswered.

Reassurance without needing to ask, “Where are you?”

For Meena

Independence without a map, pendant, or daily proof that she is okay.

A backup plan that respects the life she already has.
A quieter kind of safety net

Set up a backup plan before anyone needs it.

Choose a trusted follower, a wait time, and the practical message you would want them to have.
