SideBell

Accessible call bell, offline

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

One tap, and your caregiver knows. No internet, no account, every feature free forever. Built for people who cannot call out. SideBell is a care assistance calling tool. The person tapping needs help; their caregiver's phone raises an alert immediately — no internet, no account, no subscription. TWO DEVICES, TWO ROLES One app, one choice on first launch: • Patient side: full-screen buttons, one tap to send. Comes with items like "Not feeling well" and "Water"; the caregiver can add, rename and reorder them to match real needs. • Caregiver side: an alert sounds and speaks the item name aloud, so you know what is needed without looking at the screen. Urgent calls repeat until you acknowledge them. After tapping, the patient sees whether the call was delivered and whether the caregiver acknowledged it. They never have to wonder if their call for help was heard. WORKS COMPLETELY OFFLINE The two devices connect directly over Bluetooth. Calls never pass through a server. It works during a power cut, without Wi-Fi, anywhere — and nothing ever leaves your devices. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO CANNOT CALL OUT • Large targets, high contrast, Dynamic Type • Full VoiceOver and Switch Control support • Buttons need a single tap — no swiping, no long press — so iOS Eye Tracking and Dwell Control can drive them directly • The caregiver's alert is not silenced by the ring/silent switch EVERY FEATURE IS FREE No subscription, no paid unlock, no ads. There is a "Support the developer" option inside the app, but it is exactly that: buying unlocks nothing, and not buying takes nothing away. IMPORTANT NOTICE SideBell is a care assistance calling tool. It cannot replace emergency medical alert services. In an emergency, call your local emergency number. It works over Bluetooth, so its range is limited; it cannot send calls when the app is closed or the device runs out of battery. Before relying on it, test together with the person you care for, in the places you will actually use it.
