Virtual CareGiver turns any TV or monitor — on a tabletop or mounted on the wall — into a gentle, always-on orientation display. You update it from a simple web app, on your phone or computer, from anywhere. Your loved one just looks at the screen — no buttons, no passwords, no confusion.
Three steps. No IT department required.
Connect the device to the TV with an HDMI cable and power it on. From your phone, join the device’s temporary setup network to give it their Wi-Fi, then scan the QR code that appears on the screen and sign in with Google. That’s the whole setup — no computer, no installer.
Log in to the web app from your phone or computer. Add appointments, medication times, family photos, and daily routines. Templates make it fast — an appointment takes about 30 seconds.
The display reads your reminders straight from your own Google account — nothing of ours sits in between — and loops gently through today’s date, agenda, and photos. Large text, calm colors. No interaction needed, ever.
Everything that helps a senior feel grounded in their day — nothing that requires them to do anything.
Today’s day, date, and time — large and unmistakably clear. Always visible.
Appointments and scheduled events, listed simply with times. Reminders can be day- and time-aware, so the right reminder shows at the right time — a breakfast note in the morning, an appointment in the days leading up to it.
Gentle, timed reminders so medications aren’t forgotten — no alarms needed.
Photos of loved ones with names labeled. A familiar face is a powerful anchor.
Housekeeping, pet care, bills due — whatever helps your loved one feel in control of their day.
If content isn’t available, a calm, gentle message shows so the screen is never blank or alarming.
Templates make it fast. An appointment reminder takes 30 seconds. A new photo slideshow takes two minutes.
Type what’s happening in a sentence or two and we’ll turn it into ready-to-use slides. You review and approve everything before it ever reaches the screen.
Changes you make sync on their own — the display picks them up from your Google account and updates itself. No manual refresh needed.
The display in their room has no camera, microphone, or sensors of any kind — it only shows the slides you create. Your reminders live in your own Google account, not on our servers, and we never sell your data.
We built Virtual CareGiver for one reason: helping a parent stay oriented shouldn’t mean another app they have to learn, another password, or another subscription. Set it once from your phone; they just look at the wall.
A short, friendly checklist. Setup is done entirely from your phone in a few minutes — no computer and no installer. If you can sign into Gmail, you can do this.
The everyday kind — if you use Gmail, you’re set. You sign in with Google once during setup so the display can read the reminders you create. No Google Cloud or developer account, and it’s free.
Setup happens entirely on your phone — join the device’s temporary setup network to give it Wi-Fi, then scan the QR code on the screen and sign in. No computer and no installer to download.
Any screen they already have with an HDMI port — tabletop or wall-mounted. Not sure what to use? See our recommended displays.
The Wi-Fi name and password (or a wired connection) at their home. You enter it once from your phone during setup.
One free outlet near the screen. The device draws very little power and stays on quietly in the background.
Add favorite photos in the web app and they appear on the display, each labeled with a name. Skip it if you’d rather not.
Your loved one needs nothing — no account, no app, no buttons. Everything here is done once, by you.
Pay once for the hardware. No subscription, no monthly fees, ever. Virtual CareGiver is in early access right now — request a spot below and we’ll reach out personally before anything is charged.
One-time purchase — no subscription
Plug in and go — no assembly needed
The $99 card works with any Raspberry Pi 3 or newer you already own. Both options plug into a TV or monitor you already have — no screen is included, on purpose: the whole idea is a display far bigger than any 15-inch photo frame. Not sure what screen to use? See our recommended displays.
Reminders and photos are stored in your own Google account — not on our servers. The display is granted access to only the single deck you create for it, nothing else in your account. No subscription, no tracking, no camera, no microphone.
