Your phone,
made familiar.
Keep the Android phone you already own. Elsie gives you large, clearly labeled essentials and a home screen that stays put, so the things you reach for every day are easy to find, without learning a new device.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Elsie strips the home screen down to what actually gets used, and keeps the rest one tap away.
Big, clear buttons
Phone, Text, Camera, Magnifier, Meds, and more: large, color-coded, and plainly labeled. Turn any of them on or off, and they stay where you put them.
Speed dial with faces
The people called most, with their photos, right on the home screen. One tap to call.
Medication reminders
Simple, friendly nudges to keep doses on schedule. A scheduling aid, not a medical device.
Full-screen magnifier
Turn the phone into a magnifying glass for small print, labels, and menus.
Today's weather
The temperature and forecast icon, right at the top of the home screen with easy access to a 7 day weather forecast
Still your phone
Nothing is monitored or hidden away. Every app is still there, and you stay in charge.
What it actually looks like.
Screenshots from Elsie Home. Big type, big targets, and a big Back button for easy navigation
Big buttons. Plain words. Nothing hidden.
Tap the green button to make a call. Tap the blue one to read a message. Everything else is still on the phone, one tap away, and it stays where you left it.
Help at the start. Then step back.
Set up the buttons, add the people they call most, and pick the medication times. It takes an afternoon on the couch together. After that, it's their phone. No more talking someone through menus over the phone.
How it works
Elsie installs like any app and becomes the home screen. It's still the same phone, with every app still on it.
Install Elsie Home
Get it from Google Play on the Android phone they already own. It works on almost any phone from the last several years.
Pick the essentials
Turn buttons on or off, add speed-dial people with photos, and set medication times. Skip anything and come back later.
Make it home
Set Elsie as the home screen. From then on, pressing Home always lands on the same calm, clear page.
Pricing
The home screen is free. Always. The phone your parent uses should never be behind a paywall. If we ever charge, it's for the family layer on your side.
