Two apps. One family.
When you can’t be there, Closeeye can.
Stay close to a parent who lives far away. Ask how they are, and get an honest answer.
See how it worksAn app of your own. You talk, it listens, and it remembers what you choose.
See your appWhat she shares in hers is what answers you in yours. Nothing else.
Ask about the person you worry about.
Try it yourself. The family below is made up: a daughter in Toronto, her mother in Hyderabad. Pick a question and see what comes back, and where the answer came from.
ABOUT MOTHER
What would you like to know about Mother?
Tap a question, or type your own.
Or ask it something it was never told
It only answers from what it has been told. Anything else, it says it doesn’t know, instead of guessing.
The family side
Stay close, even from far away.
You set Closeeye up. You decide who is in it. Six things happen, roughly in this order. None of them need the person you love to be good with phones.
Their side of it
They get an app of their own.
Closeeye Elder. Not a smaller version of yours. Three tabs. Bigger text if they want it. A microphone instead of a keyboard. And it is theirs from the first minute: they can start it on their own, keep their own memories, build their own circle, and invite nobody at all. Family connection is something they choose, not something done to them.
Closeeye Elder is in store review now. This page will link to it the day it is live.
That page is written to them, not about them. If they are reading this over your shoulder, hand them the phone.
When it stops being a question
The people who turn up are people you chose.
Software cannot sit with anybody. So Closeeye does the one thing it can do well: it reaches the people you named, tells them the same thing at the same time, and shows them all one page, so nobody has to repeat themselves.
A hold, never a tap
Asking for help takes a three-second hold. Opening the screen calls no one. It says so on the screen, so it is safe to look.
Everyone told sees the same page
Who was reached, when, what has happened since, and who is with them now. One shared timeline, not five phone calls.
And the part we will not soften
Closeeye cannot call an ambulance and does not send anyone. It is not an emergency service. If somebody needs help now, call your local emergency number, and it will tell them to, plainly, rather than let them wait.
A hand, in person
Tell us what you need.
Sometimes a family needs more than an app. Someone to look in, sit awhile, or go along to the doctor. Closeeye does not have a care service, but we are a small team, we start where we live, Hyderabad, and a person reads every word of this. Tell us what you need and we will call you back.
Not for emergencies. If somebody needs help right now, call your local emergency number.
We have it.
A person will read this and call you back. If it is easier to talk, you can also write any time: hello@closeeye.app
Trust
Private to your family.
This is somebody’s mother. The rules have to be short enough to remember and specific enough to check.
01
Private by default
Nothing is shared until somebody chooses to share it, one thing at a time. It never asks your phone where you are. Your family’s information is not sold. You can withdraw consent or delete your data whenever you like.
02
AI with boundaries
It answers from what it was given and says when it wasn’t given anything. Every answer can say where it came from. It is not medical advice, it does not diagnose, and it never invents a fact about a person to fill a silence.
03
Your family stays in control
You decide who is in the space and what they see. Turning something off stops it from then on. Removing somebody takes effect immediately, and they won’t be told. Sharing simply stops.
04
Human support when appropriate
The people reached in an emergency are people you named. For everything else, you write to us and a person reads it. We do not pretend software is company.
The only permissions it asks for: the microphone, so you can speak instead of type; photos, when you choose to send one; and notifications. And the person you set Closeeye up for is never the one asked to pay.
How it works
Three steps, and the third one never really finishes.
01
Bring your family together.
Add the people you love, and send an invitation to the one you set this up for. They accept it in their own Closeeye with one tap. And it works just the same if nobody else joins.
02
Share what matters.
An appointment. A routine. The name of the doctor. A voice letter, a photo, a thing worth remembering. You choose each one, and you can change your mind about any of it without telling anyone.
03
Stay close.
Ask what you would ask if you were in the room. Hear their voice on a bad day. Know what changed since you last looked, and who will be reached if something ever goes wrong.
It is already on the phone in your hand.
Closeeye is on the App Store and Google Play. You can set it up in an evening, and send one invitation when you’re ready.
Questions
The eight things people actually ask.
Is Closeeye an AI medical service?
No. It gives general guidance, never professional or medical advice, and it prints that under every answer. It does not diagnose anything, it does not read any medical device, and it will not tell you whether somebody is well.
What it can do is hold the things your family told it: the doctor’s name, the appointment, the tablet that is taken in the morning. When you ask, it gives them back.
Does my parent need to be good with smartphones?
No. Their side of Closeeye has three tabs, and the main thing on the first one is a circle you hold and talk to. There is no password, no email, no sign-up form and nothing to keep up to date.
They can set the reading size larger, and the app follows their phone’s own text setting to begin with. Everything they can do, they can do by speaking.
Does my parent need their own account?
They get their own Closeeye, made for them. You send an invitation from yours; it appears in theirs, with your name and how you’re related, and they accept it with one tap. There is no code to read out and no password to remember.
They choose what you can see, one thing at a time, and can change their mind whenever they like.
What app does my parent use?
Their app is called Closeeye Elder. It speaks and listens, keeps the text as large as they like, and holds their own memories and their own people. They can accept your invitation with one tap, or start entirely on their own and add nobody at all.
Closeeye Elder is in store review now. This page will link to it the day it is live.
What information does Closeeye see?
What you tell it, and what your family choose to share. That is the whole list. It does not gather anything on its own: every entry in your family’s history exists because somebody did something in the app: added a person, played a letter, asked a question, asked for help, or said they were alright again.
It does not collect your location. Closeeye never asks your phone where you are, so there is nothing to collect.
Is my family’s information private?
It is private to your family. Nothing is shared automatically, and nothing is sold. You decide what anyone else can see, one thing at a time, and you can change your mind whenever you like without telling anyone.
Paying for a membership never shows anybody more. What a person shares is their choice, paid or not.
Can Closeeye contact someone if something is wrong?
Yes: the people you named. If somebody asks for help, Closeeye reaches the people you chose and shows all of them the same page: what happened, when, and who is with them now.
It needs a phone number to do that. Without one, there is nobody to reach, and it will tell you so at the time rather than fail quietly.
Is Closeeye an emergency service?
No, and it never claims to be. It cannot call an ambulance and it does not send anybody. In any emergency, call your local emergency number and your doctor first.
When somebody asks it for help, it says exactly what it did and did not do, including “nobody has been called” when that is the truth.
Where is Closeeye available?
On iPhone and Android. It was built for families split across countries, so it handles that case properly: different time zones on the same page, and each person reading in their own language: English, Telugu, Hindi or Spanish.
Membership is not switched on yet. Closeeye is free right now, there is nothing to pay and nothing to set up, and if that ever changes you will hear it from us before you see it on a screen.
