Organised support leads to better care.

When someone is unwell, recovering, or simply going through a hard stretch, they shouldn’t have to organise everyone around them too. Support Captains lets them choose someone they trust to help coordinate their needs — efficiently allowing those in their network to know how and when to best offer their support.

Help should not become another thing to manage

When someone is unwell, people often ask, “What can I do?”

It comes from a good place. But when everyone asks separately, the person receiving care ends up repeating the same information, coordinating schedules, and worrying about whether they are asking too much.

Let them rest.

Support Captains turns scattered offers of help into coordinated support. The person at the centre chooses who they trust to help lead, while everyone else can see exactly when and how to show up.

The care circle stays informed, needs become easier to meet, and the person at the centre can stay focused on whatever matters most to them.

How it works

Organised by those they trust. Everyone gets to help.

1

Choose someone you trust

The person at the centre chooses one or more people they trust to help carry the communication and coordination, so they do not have to manage everything alone.

2

Turn good intentions into meaningful help

The captain shares what is actually needed — a meal, a ride, an errand, or a visit — so friends and family can stop wondering and start helping.

3

Make it easy for people to show up

Helpers open a private link and choose something that works for them, knowing their support is needed, useful, and appreciated.

What makes Support Captains different

Good intentions become real help.

When someone wants to help, it should be easy to say yes.

Friends and neighbours can open a private link, add their first name, and choose a task that works for them. No account. No app. No password.

The family members organising the care circle do sign in, so private information stays protected and access remains in the family’s control.

Everyone else can simply help.

  • Helpers choose a task from a private link — no account required
  • Everyone can see what is needed, claimed, and complete
  • Trusted family members manage the circle and control private access

Try it → claim a task on the board.

What’s inside

Ready when it matters. Private by default.

The board gets help through the door. Behind it sits the part no one else builds — a private place for the information your family can’t afford to lose, ready the moment you need it.

One link, ready to send

The Care Team Report

Everything a new helper, a sibling flying in, or a home-care agency needs to get up to speed — generated from your circle and shared as one clean link. No re-explaining from scratch.

Nothing about them without them

Consent, built in

Your loved one chooses their own captain and agrees on their own screen. The app even asks if they truly want this — and stops if they say no. No one is ever managed against their will.

Included free

The Hospital Packet

When the ambulance comes, you won’t be digging for pill bottles. Medications, allergies, conditions and contacts on one printable page — ready for the ER in seconds. Free to create.

Person by person

You decide who sees what

The neighbour sees the errand. Only family sees the health record. Nothing sensitive is open by default — you set the trust, one person at a time.
