The senior side
Their phone shows one thing. They can't get it wrong.
What's happening today, when to be ready, who's coming, and where. Nothing to learn, nothing to sign in to, nothing to break.
It's built for someone who finds Google Calendar, a group chat, or a phone full of apps more than they want to deal with. Marlow asks nothing of them. Everything on this side follows from that. If a feature would need them to do something, we don't build it.
How it stays simple
Six things we hold to.
No login. No password. Nothing to learn.
You pair their phone once by pointing it at a code on your screen. After that it just shows their day. There's nothing to sign in to and nothing to get lost in.
A list, not a calendar.
Today, in order. Then later today. Then tomorrow. Then a line saying that's everything. No grid, no month view, no tabs.
One tap at most.
Nothing's hidden behind a swipe, a long press or a menu. Every icon has words next to it.
Big text that gets bigger.
Starts at 20px and follows the phone's own text-size setting up to double that. The screen's built to hold up at that size.
Their language, not yours.
English, Spanish, Chinese, Hindi or French. You enter the appointment once. They read it in the language they think in.
They can't delete Tuesday.
Their phone can read the schedule and nothing else. The server enforces it, so a wrong tap can't change anything.
Be ready at 9:40
They see the time that matters to them, not the time on the letter.
The clinic's letter says 10:15. Marlow takes the drive, the traffic and a bit of breathing room for someone who doesn't move quickly, and works back to the one number they need: be ready at 9:40.
The ride home works the same way. Their screen counts down to the end of the appointment, not to the moment the driver has to leave, so nobody's left waiting half an hour in a corridor.
If nobody's claimed the ride yet, they aren't told that. Their screen says Marlow is arranging it, which is true. Finding a driver is the family's job, not theirs.
Setting them up
You do the setting up. They hold the phone.
Open Marlow, show them the square on your screen, and point their camera at it. No email, no password, no code to read out over the phone. The code stops working once it's been used, and you can unpair the phone from your side whenever you like.
If the camera's awkward, there's a ten-character code they can type instead.
See it on a phone that matters to you.
If you've got a parent and a group chat full of logistics, Marlow was built for you. The everyday app is free.
