Caring for someone in palliative care shouldn't be done alone.

Alongside is a free app that supports families and caregivers of people in palliative care. It helps you organize, connect, and take care of yourself, too.

No downloads · No sign-up · Free forever

Everything you need to care for a loved one, in one place

Most health apps are cold and clinical. Alongside was born from real experience and built for people, not for hospitals.

Tasks & errands

Organize medical, administrative, and shopping tasks so nothing slips through the cracks.

Medication tracking

Clear times, doses, and instructions. Mark what's been taken and stay on top of it all.

Activities together

Meaningful moments adapted to how your loved one feels today, backed by science.

Emotional support

A private space just for you, to write how you feel without anyone seeing it.

Medical records

Prescriptions, tests, and results, always within reach and stored in your own Drive.

Memory of the day

Export a PDF journal of the moments you shared. A tangible, priceless keepsake.

Not just a nice idea. Grounded in research.

Music therapy and conversations about memories reduce anxiety and improve emotional connection in palliative care.

Written for caregivers, with care.

Built from the inside, not the outside

This project was born from the personal experience of caring for a loved one in palliative care. That's why it's human, warm, and honest.

From real experience

Not built in a lab. We know what it feels like.

Your privacy, intact

Your notes and journal stay on your device. Your documents stay in your own Drive.

Free, for real

No paywalls on the essentials. If it helps and you want to support it, that's up to you.

Start today. You're not alone in this.

Open Alongside on your phone or computer. Nothing to install.
