Porchlight
Know your parents are okay — without the daily worry calls.
On-device Apple Watch trends. Sharing only with the parent’s say-so. A calmer way for families to stay close.
The quiet worry
You want to know Mom’s week looked steady — without turning every evening into a status check. Porchlight turns Apple Watch patterns into plain-language trends the family can understand together.
Three calm steps
01
Wear as usual
Porchlight learns a personal baseline from HealthKit on the parent’s iPhone — on device.
02
See the trend
Status stays simple: Steady, Calibrating, or Worth a look — relative to their usual range.
03
Share on their terms
Invite family only after consent. Revoke anytime. Digests stay plain and careful.
Built for everyday peace of mind
Emergency products help in a crisis. Porchlight helps you notice gentle drifts earlier — so check-ins feel informed, not anxious.
Emergency-only tools
- Helpful when something urgent happens
- Little insight into week-to-week patterns
- Can feel like surveillance if always “on”
Porchlight
- Personal trends computed on the parent’s device
- Clear status: Steady, Calibrating, or Worth a look
- Sharing only with explicit, revocable parent consent
Monitoring with Mom — not surveillance of Mom
The parent chooses what to share, sees the same view family sees, and can revoke access anytime. Porchlight is designed so care feels mutual — grounded in consent, clarity, and respect.
Opt-in by the parent
Nothing is shared until they approve — per metric, with a clear preview.
Same view, both sides
Parents always know exactly what family members can see.
Revoke in two taps
Shared summaries are scheduled for deletion within 24 hours after revoke.
A report you can take to a visit
Export a doctor-ready PDF of summarized trends — clearly labeled as wellness data, not a medical record — so appointments start with context instead of guesswork.
Questions families ask
Straight answers — no jargon, no pressure.
No. Porchlight is a wellness app. It shows trends relative to someone’s usual range and never replaces a conversation with a doctor.
