Caregiver Apps

8 apps that caregivers actually use — for coordinating a care team, keeping medications straight, making daily routines predictable, giving someone a voice, and finding places you can actually get into. Every listing shows what devices it runs on and what it costs, so you know before you download.

Care Coordination

Keep everyone who helps on the same page — shared calendars, task lists, and one place for updates so you're not repeating yourself to five people.

Caring Village

App

Builds a private "village" around one person's care: a shared calendar, to-do lists, secure messaging, a medication list, and a folder for medical and legal documents everyone helping can reach.

Available on iPhone & iPad, Android, Web

Free with paid upgrade · Paid tier adds multiple villages, more members, and extra storage

Available on iPhone & iPad, Android, Web

Free · Donor-supported 501(c)(3) nonprofit, no ads

Medication & Health Tracking

Dose reminders, refill alerts, and symptom logs you can hand to a doctor instead of trying to remember how the last three months went.

Medisafe

App

Medication reminders with refill alerts, drug-interaction warnings, and a "Medfriend" feature that pings a family member if a dose is missed. Tracks measurements like blood pressure and glucose alongside doses.

Available on iPhone & iPad, Android, Web

Daily Routines & Behavior Support

Help with the hard moments and the shape of the day — spotting what sets things off, and having a strategy ready before the next time.

NeuraParent

App

Parenting support for neurodivergent kids. Describe a hard moment — a refusal, a shutdown, a meltdown — by voice or text and get strategies shaped by your own child’s history, plus pattern tracking that surfaces triggers you had not spotted.

Proloquo2Go
