A suspicious text. One tap for help. Family takes it from there.
Mom gets a text saying her bank account is locked. Before calling the number in the message, she taps “Is this a scam?”
It lands on your family’s shared desk, where whoever is available can step in with a clear answer: “Let’s check—call the number on the back of your bank card,” or “This looks like a scam. Don’t respond.”
When she needs a familiar voice or a helping hand, the same simple screen has large, easy-to-find buttons to call family or ask for help.
The preview opens straight to a sample family's desk in your browser. It doesn't call, text or alert anyone.
- One loved one. A family of support.
- Call 911. Call my family. Alert my family. Always available, even on the free plan.
- Location shared with permission. Your loved one decides whether to share.
- No passwords. No account numbers. We’ll never ask for either.
Features
Everything your family needs. Simple enough to feel familiar.
A text that doesn’t seem right. A caller asking for money. A moment when Mom needs someone to pick up.
Evenhold gives your loved one a simple way to reach out—and your family one shared place to respond, work out what’s needed, and take care of it together.
-
“Is this a scam?” Help starts with one tap.
Your loved one shares a suspicious text, email, or details of a call with the family. Whoever is available can respond with a clear next step: “Let’s verify this—call the number on the back of your bank card,” or “This looks like a scam. Don’t respond.”
-
Alert my family
One button. A quick confirmation. Family knows help is needed.
On the Free plan, the alert reaches one family member in the app. On Family plans, it reaches every caregiver.
-
A calm, simple screen for your loved one
Large, easy-to-read text. One clear button per line. With Tap and Talk, they can say what they need in their own words.
No ads. No upgrade offers. No sales pop-ups. Ever.
-
One shared desk
One place for the whole family to see what needs attention: pending requests, open alerts, the safety checklist, the emergency card, and who’s already stepped in. Less catching up. More helping out. Nobody carries the worry alone.
-
Break-glass sheet
A little preparation for the day someone gets locked out. Fill out this printable sheet together by hand, so your family knows where important information is kept and who to call. No passwords on the sheet. None stored by Evenhold.
-
Loud alerts Coming to the iPhone and Android apps
When family needs you, an alert should be easy to hear. With your permission during setup, alerts are designed to sound even when your phone is on vibrate or silent. Your phone’s settings still determine what gets through, so setup will include a test alert to help you check.
Location, with their OK
A little reassurance. On their terms.
See where your loved one is when they choose to share, without needing to call throughout the day.
- Family and Family Plus include a live map in the Location tab.
- On Free, an alert can include their last known location.
- Only your loved one can turn sharing on, from their own screen.
- They can pause sharing anytime, and the family can see that it’s paused.
Location sharing isn’t a medical alert service and doesn’t detect falls. It depends on their phone being with them, powered on, and connected to a signal.
How it works
Set up by family. Ready in minutes.
-
You get things ready
Add your loved one, their emergency information, and the family members who help. A step-by-step guide walks you through each part.
-
Your loved one says yes
Install Evenhold on their iPhone or Android phone and send their personal invite. They open it and tap “Yes, this is my phone.” No passwords to remember.
-
Help starts with a big, clear button
-
Your family takes it from there
Requests and alerts arrive on the shared desk. Whoever is available can step in with a clear next step, and everyone can see what’s being handled and what’s been taken care of.
Be one of the first families to try it
We're opening Evenhold to a small group of families first.
Why we built it
Built by a Navy veteran, a dad, and someone looking after family, too.
Caring for family, especially from a distance, often happens between everything else: a worried phone call, a suspicious text, a reminder scribbled somewhere. Keeping track can become one person’s job without anyone meaning for it to.
That’s why we’re building Evenhold: one calm screen for your loved one, and one shared place for family to help.
We believe asking for help should feel easy, staying independent should come with dignity, and the basics of keeping family safe should be free.
Our mission
Make it simple for families to care for the people they love, so loved ones stay safe, connected, and independent, with technology that feels easy from the first tap.
Trust and privacy
Your family's information stays your family's
What the app will keep
- Your loved one's name and the emergency card you fill in
- The family members who help, and how to reach them
- Messages your loved one sends for a scam check, and the family's answers
- Alerts and a simple activity log of who did what
- Location, only if your loved one turns it on
What we never ask for
- Passwords or PINs for any account. There's no password box anywhere in Evenhold.
- Full Social Security, card or bank account numbers, or security question answers. No form in Evenhold asks for them.
- Access to bank or credit accounts. Evenhold doesn't log in to or watch them.
If a scam message shows a number or password: a scam check shares what your loved one sends, so the caregivers in your family can see anything written in it. Cover or cross out account numbers and codes before sending if you can. When a picture is added, the picture itself isn't uploaded; the app keeps only its file name. See the privacy policy for details.
Your loved one stays in charge
- Location sharing starts only when they say OK on their own screen
- They can pause it anytime, and the family sees that they paused it
- No ads or sales pitches on their screen
Evenhold is in preview. Right now the only thing we collect is the email address you enter to join early access. See our privacy policy.

FAQ
Questions families ask
Does it work on a flip phone?
Not the big-button screen. That part needs an iPhone or Android smartphone. If your loved one has a flip phone or landline, the family can still use the printable emergency card and break-glass sheet, but scam checks, alerts and location need a smartphone.
Does my loved one need to set anything up?
Very little. You set things up from the family side. Your loved one opens the invite you send and taps "Yes, this is my phone." There are no passwords for them to remember. Location sharing is optional, and only they can turn it on.
How is this different from Life360, EverSafe, Carefull or Aloe Care?
Those are well-known services, and each has its own focus, such as family location sharing, watching bank and credit accounts for unusual activity, or a medical alert device. Evenhold is a family help desk: your loved one asks, and the family answers. It doesn't watch bank or credit accounts, it isn't a medical alert or 24/7 monitoring service, and it isn't identity theft insurance. Some families may use Evenhold alongside those services.
Will an alert wake me up if my phone is on silent?
That's the plan for the iPhone and Android apps. Alerts are designed to break through vibrate and silent once you allow it during setup, and setup will include a test alert. We can't promise every alert will sound, because that depends on each phone's settings and permissions. In an emergency, your loved one should always call 911.
Does Evenhold call 911?
No. The Call 911 button asks first, then opens the phone's own dialer, and the call goes through the phone itself. Evenhold doesn't monitor anyone or dispatch help.
Does Evenhold block scam calls?
No. Evenhold helps you turn on your phone carrier's free call filtering. Scam check answers are a first read to help your family decide, not a guarantee.
Is it available now?
Not yet. Evenhold is coming to iPhone and Android, and we'll open it to a small group of families first. You can try the preview in your browser with sample data today.

Evenhold is not an emergency service
Evenhold doesn't monitor your loved one, dispatch help, or contact 911 for anyone. The Call 911 button simply opens the phone's own dialer, and every call goes through the phone itself. In an emergency, always call 911 directly.
