On their phone, tablet, or the web
Each family member joins from wherever they are — phone, tablet, or a browser. From then on, contributing a note or a reminder takes seconds.
How it works
The family contributes. The home helps. Mom does nothing.
Pakito moves the work of caring off your parent — who can't carry it — and onto the family and the home, where it belongs. It comes together in three honest parts.
One · the shared place
One simple place the whole family shares.
On every family member's phone — and on a tablet or the web, wherever they happen to be — there's one place to organize care for your parent, across siblings and across cities. The daughter who tracks the medications, the son who remembers the doctors, the grandchild who stopped by Sunday: it all flows into the same place.
There are no forms. You type what you'd say to a sibling, in plain language, and Pakito turns it into the right appointment, the right reminder, the right note — and files it where it belongs. The simplicity is the point. Forms are friction, and friction is why families give up on these apps after two weeks.

Two · the home that helps
The home notices what no one is there to see.
Quiet, privacy-respecting awareness lets the home itself contribute to her care — the same way a family member does, by noticing and telling the others. It learns the shape of her normal day, and lets the family know when something is off.
When Mom hasn't been in the kitchen all day, when she got up at 3 a.m. and didn't come back, when the stove's been on too long — the family hears about it. Mom doesn't have to. There's no camera, no pendant, nothing she has to wear, charge, or remember. This isn't a feed of her every move. It's a way of knowing she's okay.
And it all runs on a small private hub inside your parent's home — not in the cloud. What the home notices stays in the home; only the things that matter ever reach the family. The awareness is yours, not ours.
No kitchen activity since this morning — might be worth a call.

Three · Pakito in the home
A gentle voice, and a calm screen she can read.
In the home, Pakito has a voice and a presence — it speaks to Mom, and it shows her things on a big, calm screen. Reminders appear in her line of sight, not buried in a phone she has to unlock. And every morning, it reads her the brief: who came by, who's calling, what's ahead today — and there on the screen for as long as she wants to look.
It's built visual-first, because hearing fades — a parent who can't hear is never left out. That's not an accessibility afterthought. It's the foundation.
Good morning, Mom. Melissa called yesterday, and Christopher is coming for dinner Friday.

Setting it up
If you can set up a Ring camera, you can set up Pakito.
Pakito is something a family does for itself. One family member acts as the admin — the person everyone already relies on for the home network or the cameras. You set it up yourself, on your own terms, with no stranger installing equipment in your parent's home.
Off-the-shelf sensors
Affordable, widely available sensors for presence and activity — placed by the family. No cameras. No wiring you'd need an electrician for.
One technical point person
Not a developer — just someone comfortable with home technology, who can be the family's point of contact for setup.
Ready when you are
