Care coordination for families
Hebrew-first. Built by a caregiver, for caregivers.
One person. One AI. $612.
Israeli family caregivers manage medications, shifts, and tasks for sick or elderly loved ones.
54% of women say caregiving weighs on them. Ages 50-59 carry the heaviest burden — caring for children AND aging parents.

Medication changes buried in group chats. Critical info gets lost in the scroll.
Handwritten med lists, sticky notes on the fridge, verbal handoffs between shifts.
Every existing caregiver app is English-only. For a 70-year-old Israeli, that's not an option.

Spiritual companion (malaveh ruchani) who works with caregiving families every week. Non-technical. Never wrote a line of code.
He saw families struggling with care coordination — and instead of writing a business plan, he built the solution.
Lionel described what caregivers need. AI (Claude Code) wrote the code. He tested on his phone. Repeated 102 times in 6 days.
His real skill: product thinking. Knowing which features matter because he sits with these families.
Google and Apple won't build a Hebrew-first caregiver app for 1.2M people. The market is too small for them.
Israeli medical terms, HMO workflows, Bituach Leumi integration, spiritual care. This is local knowledge.
Not designed by engineers guessing what caregivers need. Designed by someone who lives it.
Open source ethos, donation-based. Not VC-funded with pressure to monetize user data.
Not "young caregivers" — the entire family. Grandchildren, parents, siblings, all coordinating together.
New features ship in hours, not months. 131-490x cheaper iteration means faster product evolution.
