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

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.

ToDoMemo is a small, honest app for a problem a lot of families quietly live with.
