MARY
Built from lived experience · UK

Because every moment of independence matters. And every family deserves reassurance.

The Mary app creates a simpler experience on the supported person’s Android phone, while the companion app keeps everyone connected, informed and reassured. Between them they help people live independently for longer, giving families the confidence to care together.

What Mary is

Connected family support, made simpler

Mary is a connected care app system for the whole family. The Mary app creates a simpler experience on the supported person’s Android phone, while the companion app helps family members coordinate support, share memories, stay informed and stay connected wherever they are.

Created initially for families living with dementia and memory-related conditions, Mary Care is designed to support independence as needs change over time.

  • A simpler Android phone experience for the person being supported
  • A shared family space, so no one carries it alone
  • Reminders, location reassurance and HELP
  • Memories & games to share
The Mary family

One platform, for two sides of your family

Two apps work together: Mary creates a simpler experience on the supported person’s Android phone, and Mary Companion helps the family around them care together.

Why Mary exists

Protecting independence, confidence and connection

When everyday life gets harder, what families fear losing most is close to home, the independence, confidence and connection that keep someone feeling like themselves. Mary exists to help protect exactly that.

The UK’s most feared health condition

Behind every diagnosis is a family adapting to a new reality. What they fear most is close to home: losing independence, losing connection, and losing the everyday moments that make someone feel like themselves.

Wherever you are

Mary meets your family where you are

Caring rarely follows a straight line. Whether you’re planning ahead or facing something urgent tonight, Mary is built to help from that exact moment.

Planning ahead

“We want to prepare for what’s ahead.”

Understand what comes next, protect independence and make confident decisions before support becomes urgent.

Starting to struggle

“Managing everyday life is becoming harder.”

The workarounds that once worked are getting harder to keep up. Mary makes caring feel manageable again, before breaking point.

In crisis

“Something’s happened and we need help now.”

A fall, a wandering moment, a sudden change. Mary helps you organise support quickly and regain a sense of control.

Built from lived experience
Mary began with one family trying to protect the independence, confidence and connection of someone they loved. That experience still shapes every decision: keep technology calm, help families care together and preserve the human relationships that matter most.
