What's in the app
Everything an elderly parent needs to stay in touch. Nothing they don't.
One-tap calls
The home screen is the contact list. Tap a face — you're calling. That's it.
Elder mode UI
Large readable text, big touch targets, no hidden menus or back buttons to get stuck on.
Locked-screen ringing
Incoming calls ring on the lock screen like a phone call, with answer and decline buttons.
Set up by family
The adult child creates and configures the account in person. The parent never types an email or password.
HD audio
Calls run on a real-time voice network. Crisp audio even on slow connections.
Cross-platform
iPhone and Android. Adult children can use whichever phone they already have.
What we deliberately left out
takeft is opinionated about simplicity. In our first release, there is:
- No chat or text messaging
- No video calls
- No profile photos to upload
- No group calls
- No call recording
- No subscription or in-app purchases
Less is more when the goal is "Grandma calls me without help."
