Raise the Shade is a simple wellness check-in app for people who live alone — or anyone whose loved ones want quiet peace of mind.
Pick a time each morning. That's your daily window.
Each morning, open the app and tap once. That's it — you're checked in.
If you don't check in by your grace period, the people you trust are alerted automatically.
People who live alone
Older adults aging in place
Family members far away
Anyone who wants peace of mind
Raise the Shade started with a simple observation: people who live alone — especially older adults — shouldn't have to choose between their independence and someone knowing they're okay. A quiet daily check-in, invisible when everything is fine and present when it matters, felt like something that should exist and be available to everyone. So we built it, and we're offering it free of charge to the community, because peace of mind shouldn't come with a subscription.
