The library
Short pages for real life. Free to read, no sign-in. Each one is written and checked by our small team; the pages that touch on health wait for a clinician's sign-off, and each page says where it stands.
Digital life
A quieter phone, photos you can find, and wishes written down.
- A phone-free first half hour
Keeping the phone out of reach for the first part of the morning, so the day starts with you and not your messages.
5 min
- The notification clear-out
Fifteen minutes to turn off the alerts that do not need you, so the ones that matter can be heard.
15 min
- Twenty minutes with the photographs
Sorting a few photos at a time into albums you will actually look at, and sharing a favourite with someone in it.
20 min
- A note about your digital life
Writing down which accounts you have and what you would want done with them, so nobody has to guess.
20 min
- One shared calendar for the people who help
Appointments, visits and who is doing what, in one calendar everyone involved can see, so fewer things fall through.
20 min
- A reminder that actually helps
One well-worded phone or speaker reminder, at the right time and in the right place, for the thing that keeps being forgotten.
10 min
- A video call they can answer with one touch
Set up video calling for someone who finds technology hard, so one touch connects them to a face they love.
30 min
- An honest look at your feed
Scroll for five minutes and notice how each account leaves you feeling, then mute or unfollow the ones that leave you worse.
15 min
- A voice note instead of a text
Thirty seconds of your voice, sent to someone who would like to hear it, carries more than a typed message can.
5 min
- Three questions for a health page
Who wrote it, when, and what do they want from you: three checks before you trust health information online.
10 min
- One small piece of tech for living at home
A lamp on a timer, a doorbell with a screen, a big-button phone: one simple device, chosen with the person, can support independence.
20 min
- Lock the front door of your email
Your email is the key to most of your other accounts, so a strong password and two-step sign-in there protects much of the rest.
