A Day With ToDoMemo

A real problem a lot of families quietly deal with — and how one small reminder app helps, one tap at a time.

"Did I eat breakfast today?"

Grandma Sato is 78. Most days she's fine — but some mornings, by lunchtime, she genuinely can't remember whether she already ate.

Her daughter sets it up — once

Five minutes, from her own phone: create an account, add a notification group with her own email address, hand grandma the tablet.

📱 One-time setup
✓Sign up with an email + password
✓Add a notification group (daughter's email)
✓Done — nothing to maintain day to day

One big button, nothing else to learn

This is a real screenshot, not a mockup. Tap it after each meal or dose — that's the entire interaction. Color and text make today's status obvious at a glance.

A gentle nudge, right on time

If a meal time passes with nothing logged, the app plays a real doorbell chime — not a demanding alarm, more like someone knocking to check in.

🔔
Ding-dong — time to eat

Miles away, her daughter still knows

When a reminder goes unanswered for a while, an email goes out automatically. At the office, one glance at her phone tells her whether it's time to call.

🔔 ToDoMemo: dinner not yet logged
Sato-san hasn't logged tonight's dinner as of 19:30.
This is an automatic notice — no action needed if everything's fine.
🔍 How this works — no shared login required
✓Grandma's account has a "notification group" — her daughter's email just needs to be added there, once.
✓That's enough to receive alert emails. The daughter never needs an account of her own for this.
✓Want to see the exact same live records from her own phone, not just alerts? Then she signs in with the same email + password as Grandma's account — ToDoMemo shares one login per family, not separate linked accounts.

The pattern that mattered

A week later, the history page — a real screenshot, real sample data — shows one evening where dinner landed three hours late. A small gap, but worth a phone call that same night.
