Weβre sorry β the games canβt start on this tablet
This tabletβs software is a little too old for the games. On a tablet from about 2015 or newer, everything works straight away β nothing to install. Your photos are not affected.
Three short moments, side by side: remembering photos, naming pictures,
and questions you ask aloud. About five minutes.
Keep it light. Stop at any frustration and try another day.
This adds to the trends, it is not a test or diagnosis.
Let's look at three photos together
A calm little pauseβ¦
Breathe in as it grows⦠and out as it settles.
Which of these did we just see?
Tap them together, take all the time you like.
What is this?
Ask aloud, then mark how it went.
Lovely time together

π· Photos (0)
Tap a photo to caption it (βTommy, 1998β) or add a voice note. Captions appear in Memories and power gentle memory practice.
π΅ Music (0 MB)
Melody sound
Built-in melodies
Music when left alone After a minute untouched, the tablet drifts into their photos. This decides whether it plays music too, or stays quiet.
Songs from their era play softly in Memories (old CDs or archive.org/details/78rpm are good sources). Until you add some, the music box plays gentle old melodies.
ποΈ Difficulty
Puzzle pieces
Matching grid
Who Is This?
βAutoβ quietly adjusts, harder after easy wins, easier after struggle. Never announced.
ποΈ Family voice
Hearing a familiar voice makes the app feel like home. Record a hello and a few words of praise, or add clips made elsewhere (any audio file, an AI voice works too). Your voice is used instead of the robot voice wherever it can be.
Hello greeting
Praise in your voice
Short and natural works best: "Lovely job, Mum!", "That's the one!", "Well done, love."
π² Games shown on home screen
Fun comes first. These games help most when theyβre simply enjoyed, thereβs nothing to get right, no session to finish, no score to chase. Follow their lead, and let short visits be enough. The app starts with a small set; switch on more whenever theyβre ready.
π Sound & voice
Cheerful sounds
Spoken praise
Spoken prompts in Memories
π₯ Check-in together
A 5-minute guided moment for the two of you. Keep it light; stop if it frustrates. Results feed the trends below.
πΎ What to notice (thatβs all the feedback needed)
β’ Which games bring smiles, humming, or stories, do more of those.
β’ Which photos or songs spark memories, add captions and more like them.
β’ If anything frustrates, simply hide its tile for a while. Nothing is lost.
The trends below take care of the numbers quietly, your job is only the joy.
π± Wellbeing trends
Looking at
Built quietly from everyday play, never a test. Patterns to share at doctor visits, not a diagnosis.
π Activity (last 30 days)
Activity will appear here once games have been played.
π Tip: lock the tablet to this app
On iPad: Settings β Accessibility β Guided Access (triple-click the side button to start). On Android: App pinning in Security settings. This stops accidental swipes out of the game.
Stop the screen locking: iPad: Settings β Display & Brightness β Auto-Lock β Never (easiest while itβs plugged in). Android: Settings β Display β Screen timeout. Left awake on the side, the tablet drifts into their photos on its own after a minute, so it invites them over instead of waiting to be picked up.
Make it a routine: the same time each day works wonders, with a cup of tea after breakfast, or in the good hour the trends show. Familiar rhythm is half the comfort.
πΎ Keep a copy safe
Everything here, the photos, recordings, settings, and history, lives only on this device. Save a copy now and then and keep it somewhere safe, like a computer or an email to yourself. If this tablet is ever lost, broken, or replaced, the copy brings it all back. Free, always.
π§Ή Start fresh
Erases everything on this device: photos, recordings, settings, and history. Useful after trying the app out, before setting it up for real. If you might want any of it back, save a copy first (just above).
