A calm, full-screen clock that answers the questions dementia makes hard — what day is it, is it morning or night, have I taken my tablets — with a message from you, always on the screen.
"The days blur together, and the questions repeat."
For someone living with dementia, "what day is it?" can come a dozen times an hour — and each time can bring a flicker of fear. Clarity answers it before it's asked, in big, calm writing, so a glance is enough.
The weekday, the part of day, the date and the time — big and unmistakable. The screen warms in the morning and gently dims at night, all on its own.
Leave a line only you can change — "Sarah is coming Thursday. You are safe, we love you." A familiar voice on the screen, even when you can't be there.
Tablets, meals, a visitor. When one is due, a gentle alarm keeps ringing until they tap "I've done it" — leaving a calm "done" that answers "have I already taken them?"
After dark the clock quiets to a soft, dim screen with a crescent moon — clear enough for a 3am glance, never bright enough to dazzle.
An old iPhone or iPad works perfectly. Plug it in and stand it where it's easy to see.
Type a reassuring line and the day's reminders. It takes about a minute — you only do it once.
Use the built-in guide to lock the device to Clarity, so your loved one only ever sees the calm screen.
Morning is warm and bright. The evening softens. At night it settles to a quiet, dim screen — reassuring for a 3am moment of confusion, calm enough to sleep beside.
Clarity helps people living with early-to-moderate dementia, Alzheimer's or memory loss stay oriented and reassured through the day. It's a supportive day-orientation clock and gentle reminder — not a diagnosis, a treatment, or a substitute for a carer's help with medication. It works best while a person can still read and understand a clock.

Clarity collects no data. There's no account and no tracking, and it works fully offline. The message and reminders you set are stored only on the device and are never sent to us or anyone else. That's the whole policy.
