Coming to the App Store and Google Play
When a family shares the care of one person, everything ends up in one person's head. CarerNote gets it out of there — into something the rest of the household can read without having to ask.
Every feature free for 14 days — and the medication list is free forever.

Half a sandwich at lunch, plenty of water.

Slept well — up at 7, bright this morning.
The problem it was built for
They get asked by the sibling who visits on weekends, by the paid carer who covers Thursdays, by the locum who has never met her, and at four in the afternoon by the person who already answered them at nine in the morning.
That person becomes the only working copy of the record. Everything runs through them, which means everything stops when they are asleep, at work, or finally taking a week off. CarerNote exists to make the household survive that week.
Medications
Nobody transcribes a box of tablets correctly at the end of a long day, and the ones most worth getting right have the longest names. So you point the camera at the packaging and check what comes back.
The photograph stays. Months later, when someone asks whether it really said 500 milligrams, the answer is not a memory of typing it — it is the box.
A medication that has not been checked by a person is marked as such and is kept off anything you print. A reading nobody has confirmed is the camera's guess, not the household's record, and it should never reach a doctor looking like a fact.

Handover
At the end of a shift CarerNote assembles what is still due, what was given, and what anyone noted. You read it, add anything it could not know, and send.
It goes as plain text through whatever the household already uses — the group chat, a text message, email. Not a notification. Not an in-app inbox.
That matters more than it sounds. The carer who covers Thursdays does not need the app, an account, or a password to read a handover. Asking her to install something before she can receive one is the same barrier as asking her to sign up.

What actually arrives on her phone
Margaret Chen — handover, Monday, August 25 at 6:12 PM STILL DUE • Metoprolol 50 mg — 2:00 PM — OVERDUE GIVEN TODAY • Metoprolol 50 mg — 8:05 AM, You NOTES • 9:05 AM (Priya) Slept through. Bit unsteady getting to the bathroom — worth mentioning Thursday. FROM ME Back tomorrow at 8. Her daughter is calling tonight. — Recorded in CarerNote by family. Not a medical record.
The rest of it
A hospital corridor is exactly where you need to write something down and exactly where the reception dies. Everything saves to the phone first and catches up later — the app never waits for a network to let you in.
Her doctor, her allergies, which hip it was, where the spare key is. The facts that get asked for under pressure, kept somewhere that isn't one person's memory.
Before an appointment, CarerNote pulls the confirmed medication list and the recent notes into one printable page — so the ten minutes get spent on the questions rather than on reconstructing the last three months.
No sign-up, no password, nothing to log into, no verification step. You open the app and it works — and so does everyone you invite, for as long as they need it.
To let someone else in, you read them four digits. That is the whole mechanism — because a 78-year-old husband at the end of a long day will not create an account, and the richest thing in the record is what he knows.
Paying is the one exception, and it happens here on the website rather than in the app. Whoever subscribes gives an email address for receipts and types the record code the app shows them. There is still no password, and still nothing to log into.
Pricing
The trial covers everything, on either plan, and runs once per household, ever — a record that has already had its trial is charged from the start. A card is taken at signup and charged when the 14 days end unless you cancel first. Cancelling needs nothing but the email you signed up with. And whatever happens after, the medication list and its PDF stay free, forever.
US$4.99A$6.99 / month
US$7.99A$10.99 after beta
Billed every month. Cancel any time — the record stays yours.
US$39.99A$55.99 / year
US$59.99A$84.99 after beta
Billed every 12 months. One decision for the whole year of care.
Founding rate: the beta price is held for the first 50 households and stays theirs for 12 months from the first payment. After that, the published rate applies with 30 days' notice by email.
One subscription covers the whole household, paid by the person who created it. Everyone they invite uses CarerNote in full, free, forever — a rotating paid carer never hits a wall she has to pay to pass.

The member limit is enforced on invitation, never retroactively — a household that reaches four members during a trial keeps all four; it simply cannot add a fifth.
When a trial or a subscription ends, nothing already created is locked, hidden or deleted. Every entry, medication and photograph stays readable and exportable on the free tier, forever. Only the paid capabilities above stop being available.
Where it's up to
CarerNote is real software that works — the medication list, the shared log, invites, the handover, the answer sheet and the visit pack are all built and tested. It is being used by exactly one household: the one that needed it.
