Kinshift: Family Caregiving

Kinshift is a free caregiver app for families sharing the care of an elderly parent or loved one. Everyone sees whose turn it is to visit or call, covering for each other takes a yes, and a short update after every visit keeps the whole family in the loop.

Ask everyone, or one person • The turn stays yours until someone says yes, then the schedule changes for all AN UPDATE AFTER EVERY VISIT • Quick tags: meds taken, ate well, low spirits, slept badly, had a fall • Add a note, and flag anything the others need to know today • Everyone reads the same journal, so nobody has to ring round TASKS ANYONE CAN TAKE • Pick up the prescription, book the eye test, call the insurer • Give it a day, take it with one tap, tick it off when it's done CARE INFO IN ONE PLACE • Medications, allergies, doctors, pharmacy, emergency contacts, door code and routine • Every helper reads and edits the same ten pages, and can share them as text in a hurry FOR THE WHOLE CIRCLE • Brothers and sisters, a spouse, a neighbor, a paid aide: everyone joins with a six-letter code • No account, no email, no password Kinshift is not a medical app and doesn't give medical advice.
