Keep everyone in the loop, without the group text

Updates, medication changes, and documents live in one calm feed. Siblings check in when they can — no more nagging.

One color for each part of care

Six colors. One for each kind of work.

Inside Kintaria, every task type carries its own soft color so the eye latches before the mind has to read. Terracotta means one thing only — a person needs to act.

TerracottaNeeds youOnly when a person must act

It shouldn't all fall on one person.

Today, caring for an aging parent means living inside a group text nobody keeps up with, a Google Doc nobody maintains, and a phone that rings at the worst possible moment. One person ends up holding everything — and quietly burning out.

Americans are now unpaid family caregivers — a 45% increase in a decade.

The average caregiver's weekly load — a second unpaid job on top of work and family.
60-67%
Of primary caregivers are women, usually adult daughters.
The hero feature

Turn a doctor's visit into shared context in minutes.

Record the appointment (with consent) or paste your notes. Kintaria drafts a plain-language summary — new prescription flagged, action items listed, follow-up questions ready. You review and edit; Kintaria never decides anything for you.

A handwritten caregiver note with the same text in two languages side by side.
How families improvise today. Kintaria does it automatically — in seven languages.
Our most defensible feature

Mom reads in her language. The kids read in English. One shared record.

The only caregiver workspace where the person being cared for and the family caring for her can each read in their own language — inside one shared workspace. Notes you write in English appear in Mom's language side-by-side. The original is always preserved as the record.

Seven languages today: English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Tagalog. Translations land in seconds — and stay accessible whenever someone reopens the workspace.

Privacy by design

Your family's information stays in your family.

What you put into Kintaria is for your family to see — not advertisers, not other families, not us. Documented below; explained in plain language on our security page.

Family-only by default
Every row in the database is gated by family membership at the Postgres layer — not just in app code. Even if our code had a bug, the database itself would refuse to return another family's data.
Encrypted at rest + in transit
All connections TLS 1.2+. Database and document storage encrypted at rest. The privileged service key never leaves the server.
Full audit log
Every insert, update, and delete on workspace content writes a row to the audit log — who, what, when. Trigger-based, can't be bypassed by application code.
No ads. No data selling.
We make money from family subscriptions. That's the entire business model. Your workspace data is never sold, never used to target ads, never shared with anyone outside your invited family.
AI off by default
AI features (visit summaries, document classification, lab-photo extraction) are opt-in per workspace. When off, no content from your workspace is sent to any AI service.
Delete your data anytime
Workspace deletion hard-deletes content from the database within 7 days. Documents are removed from object storage immediately. No silent retention.
Honest comparison

Better than the group text. Without throwing it out.

Group chats, shared docs, and Apple Notes work — until a parent's care gets complicated. Here's what changes when the work moves into Kintaria.

Group text / shared doc
Kintaria
Updates scroll past and get lost
Organized by type — notes, meds, appointments, documents
No medication tracking — just messages about it
Medication timeline with prescriber, dose, date, status
No structured visit summaries
Plain-language summaries every sibling can read
No shared health record across family
Centralized care record everyone sees the same way
Same message everyone, in one language
Bilingual side-by-side so Mom reads in her language
Sharing with the new doctor means retyping the whole history
One-tap share link, scoped, time-limited, revocable
No record of who did what
Audit log of every change — who, what, when

Everything one family needs. Nothing extra.

Built around the four-or-five things a caregiver actually reaches for, in the moment they reach.

Daily care

Shared calendar

Every appointment in one place, with the prep questions, the directions, who's driving. iCal subscription so it shows up in Apple/Google/Outlook.

Medical history with lab trends

A1c, blood pressure, kidney function — charted over time so you can see what's drifting. Hospitalizations, procedures, immunizations on one timeline.

Plain-language visit summaries

Paste in the after-visit summary, get back three bullets a non-medical sibling can understand. The new medication auto-files to your meds list; the follow-up date auto-files to the shared calendar; the summary lives next to last quarter's lab trend.

Step-by-step playbooks

Hospital discharge, after a fall, new dementia diagnosis — each one walks you through who to call, what to ask, what to write down, in the order you'll actually do it.

Voice line

Call (888) 704-0999 from your registered phone, dictate a note hands-free. For walking back to the car after an appointment, or the kitchen at 11 PM after the hospital called.

Sharing & safety

Built for health data

Encrypted at rest + in transit. Full audit trail. Private by default — your family's data stays inside your family's workspace, never used to train AI, never sold.

Share with a provider

One-time URL you can hand to a doctor or social worker. Read-only, time-limited, revocable, scoped to just what you choose.

Print-ready one-pager

A clean PDF summary for the ER, the new doctor, the cardiologist who hasn't seen the chart yet. Folds into a wallet.

This month's essay · Long-form

What the 2010s home-care apps got wrong about families

By Thrive Team · September 1, 2026 · 11 min read

A generation of venture-backed apps promised to fix family caregiving by making it more organized, more transparent, and more connected. Most of them are gone. What they misunderstood about how families actually work — and what that failure still costs caregivers today.

Earlier essay · Long-form

The house that holds everything: how aging-in-place became a policy aspiration and a private burden at the same time

By Thrive Team · August 1, 2026 · 11 min read

Aging-in-place is the stated goal of nearly every major eldercare policy in the United States. It is also, in practice, a cost-shifting arrangement in which the federal government's preferred outcome is quietly financed by the unpaid labor of adult children, spouses, and siblings. This essay traces how that happened, what it costs the families living it, and what an honest accounting would require.

Week of Sep 7
UnitedHealth is dropping prior authorization requirements for home health, a major home care employer is cutting 700-plus jobs, hospice rules may be misaligned with what patients actually need, and palliative care advocates are pushing for access well before the end of life — a week where the rules governing how care gets approved, delivered, and paid for were all in motion at once.
Week of Aug 31
Senior living capacity is tightening fast, Medicare Advantage denied 12% of prior authorization requests last year, grief support is arriving too late for most hospice families, and a California hospice fraud guilty plea is a reminder of what to watch for — a week where the systems families depend on showed their pressure points clearly.
Week of Aug 24
A Medicare bill would add home care as a formal benefit, CMS payment suspensions are disrupting hospice vendors in ways families feel, a virtual coaching program is cutting hospitalizations for family caregivers, and a community-based hospice model is showing real results on access and cost — a week where the structural gaps in how care is paid for and delivered came into sharp relief.
