She has someone every day.
"You'll get her stories, not a status report."
Someone who remembers her, wants her opinion, and lets her decide what gets passed on. One day, you'll have every conversation.
$49/month per family · the first 50 families get two weeks free
One warm phone call. A world of quiet reassurance.
No app for your parent to learn, no wearable to charge. Just a familiar voice on the phone, at the same time every morning.
Ottilie calls, right on time
Every morning, at the hour she prefers, Ottilie rings for a warm, unhurried chat — about sleep, breakfast, the neighbours' cockatoos. She chooses when. She chooses what gets shared.
We remember
What she mentioned, what she cares about, the lemon tree that's finally fruiting. Not a checklist. A conversation that builds on itself, day after day.
Family gets her stories
A warm Sunday letter about her week — her stories, not a status report. And a quiet nudge if something's worth a ring.
Choose your voice — Otto or Tilly.
Every family picks the voice their parent connects with. Hear both below.

Simple counts. No scores.
Raw counts compared to her own baseline. No scores, no severity colours, no composite indices.
Everything worth knowing, nothing you have to dig for.
A peek at what lives inside the family dashboard — designed mobile-first, because that's how adult children actually check.
Voice notes, woven in
What she mentioned, how she sounded, what she said mattered this week — right inside the family view as gentle, readable notes. Not a science project.
Mum said Thursday was a good dayConversation patterns, over time
A simple view of how she's been over the week — call by call, in plain language. So a gentle change is noticeable before it's a worry.

The stories she told, the things she asked about, the names that came up. The family letter is built from these — her words, not our summary.
She mentioned the shed three timesDaily rhythm, at a glance

A weekly note about her week — her stories, her highlights, the things worth knowing. Reads like a message from home, not a status report.
Sent Sunday evening · every week"I want that lovely lady to ring again — she was my favourite."
Our founder spent several months as an emergency call operator. The calls she remembers best weren't the emergencies — they were the test calls, the ones where an elderly caller just wanted to talk. "I want that lovely lady to ring again," one caller said. "She was my favourite."
Her own grandmother had a seizure alone at home. She had a medical alarm — she never wore it. She declined rapidly over the next two weeks, and the family didn't know until it was too late.
Ottilie exists because a daily voice — not a button, not a wearable, nothing that makes her feel labelled or unwell — is what people actually want and actually use.
If that sounds like something you'd want for your family, we'd love to have you along for the journey.
A letter about Mum, not a report.
The weekly digest reads like a note from home — the highlights, the little things she said, and how she's really doing.
She talked about the cockatoos, the scones you promised, and a "bit of dizziness" standing up on Friday morning. Dr. Nair has been notified.
Ottilie
Not just a chat. A relationship.
It remembers her
"How did Thursday go with your sister?" No volunteer service can do this — different person, no continuity. Ottilie remembers what she said yesterday, last week, last month. Being known is the deepest thing you can offer someone whose world has narrowed.
It wants something from her
Her opinion, her recipe, her advice, her memories. Every other product positions her as someone to be managed. This one asks her to give. That addresses the actual mechanism of loneliness: loss of role, not lack of contact.
It's hers
"Anything from today you'd rather I didn't pass on?" She controls what gets shared. The one thing in her week that isn't being managed for her.
Nothing to learn, nothing to wear, nothing to charge
She just answers the phone. No app, no wearable, no button, no tablet. The lowest-friction product in her life.
Her stories arriving
Not a status report, not a dashboard. A piece of their mother: the lemon tree fruiting, the dog being cheeky, the recipe she shared. Something they stay subscribed to.
You won't be blindsided
You see her at Christmas. We talk to her every day. You'll never be blindsided again — because you see the slope, not the cliff.
For the family: she has someone every day — and you get her stories, not a status report. Relief from the guilt loop. Better calls, not fewer. A human note, not a dashboard.
Ottilie is a social connection service, not an emergency service. It's not monitored 24/7, and it doesn't replace a personal alarm or a call to 000.
The weekly letter
"Dear Sarah — this week Mum answered six of seven morning calls. She talked about Dot's bowling, the shed, and the scones. Ottilie remembered them all."
Sunday evenings. A letter about Mum, not a report.
Built with her dignity in mind, always.
Ottilie is a companion for your parent, not surveillance. Every family member sees exactly what they're permitted to, and every touch is logged.
Consent that renews
Data-sharing consent is explicit, revisited regularly, and always visible to your parent and the family.
A full audit trail
Every view, note, and permission change is timestamped — who touched what, and when.
Roles, not free-for-all
Primary contact, family, neighbour — each sees the right slice, nothing more. She decides what gets shared.
Ottilie is a social connection service — your data is never shared with third parties without explicit consent.
