What's New in Elderella 1.16 Care team chats — Talk with your family right inside Elderella. Start a group chat or a one-on-one for each elder, share photos, and type with your voice. Mention Ella and she answers in the chat. Trackers — Keep track of anything in your own words: headaches, sleep, blood pressure, how a new medication is going. Ella records each entry from what you say, reminds you when it's time, and follows up on what you wrote. Pins — Pin up to three things to an elder's home, like a medication, a document or a task, and open each one in a tap. Widgets — Add a widget for each elder to your Home Screen, and capture a note from Control Center without opening Elderella. Visit summaries — Long voice notes now start with a short summary of what was said. (Plus and Premium) Family schedule on the TV — Put the elder's day on a TV, with who is with them each day. Sign the TV in by scanning a QR code. A new look — Ella and the Elderella icon are now our firefly. Works offline — Your elders, notes and pins stay readable with no signal, and your changes send when you're back online.

What's New in Elderella 1.15 Never lose your work — Voice notes, photos, medications, appointments, documents, and care team changes are now saved on your device and sync on their own when you're back online, so nothing slips away if your connection drops. Chat with Ella, for the whole care team — Everyone on your care team can now chat with Ella, not just the primary caregiver. Ella only ever shows each person what they're allowed to see.

Import a voice memo — Bring an already-recorded voice memo into a note instead of recording it again. Pick a care team member as the provider — Choose someone from the care team in an event's Provider field. Clearer care team invites — Say what you're asking of each person you invite, see who has and hasn't responded, and send a gentle reminder to anyone who hasn't. Open what Elderella already has — When Elderella shows something it already has on file, tap the row to jump straight to it. Heads-up before a trial ends — A clear warning before a trial ends, the screening number stays through its paid month, and care team members are told when a paused trial affects their access. Faster sign-in — Your login code fills in automatically and more reliably. Smoother recording and playback — Recording waits for a Bluetooth headset to be ready, and voice-note playback lets you drag and tap to seek accurately. Better prescription capture — See the photo before it sends, return to the medication screen afterward, and more details are pulled from the label. A more careful Ella — Ella no longer claims things she didn't check, and she won't offer upgrades when you're just asking a question. Better briefings for everyone — Every caregiver gets their briefing content and an accurate view of the day.

What's New in Elderella 1.12 Allergy safety - Elderella now notices allergies in your messages and photos, checks them against the medications on file, and warns you if something could clash. Send Ella a photo in chat - Snap a pill bottle, a lab result, or a letter right in the chat, and Ella reads it, replies, and files what she finds. App lock - Elderella now locks itself behind Face ID or your passcode by default, so a picked-up phone can't open your care details. Now open to everyone - Connect a family group chat on Signal, and link your Gmail and Google Drive to pull in care documents, all available to everyone now, not just early testers.

Record your appointments - With Plus or Premium, record what the doctor says right from the appointment, and get a reminder before the visit. Medications - Bring back a stopped medication, see the list grouped by time of day, note what each one is for, and let Ella tidy up duplicates.

Chat with Ella, out loud — Tap the mic and just talk to Ella instead of typing. She now shows you the steps she's taking as she looks things up, lets you stop her mid-answer, marks where each fact came from, and replies in whatever language you write to her in. Care Briefings, all in one place — Every briefing you've generated now lives together, where you can read it in the app, correct anything that isn't right, regenerate it, or share it as a PDF. Briefings open as a proper document you can rotate to landscape and zoom through. Medications that keep up with you — Adding a medication no longer pauses while Elderella checks for interactions; the check runs in the background and tells you if something turns up. And when a medication looks like one already on file, Elderella says so before it gets added twice. Appointments that fill themselves in — Paste a confirmation email or text and Elderella pulls out the date, time, and place for you, along with a suggested list of questions to ask. You can comment and reply on any appointment, and reorder your tasks right in the list. A Care Team that's easier to build — Add a member straight from your phone's contacts, let addresses autocomplete as you type, and let Elderella catch the duplicates before they happen.

Care Map A new guided space that helps you map out everything your loved one needs — from everyday care to the harder long-term decisions. Smarter medications Elderella now spots when a new medication is the brand or generic version of one already on the list, recognizes over-the-counter supplements, and makes interaction warnings clearer with a place to review them anytime. Care Team details, filled in for you Add a doctor or care professional and Elderella looks them up online to fill in their contact details for you. Switch between loved ones faster A switcher right in the home header lets you move between the people you care for, and Elderella remembers who you looked at last. Invite Ella to your appointments Add Ella to a calendar invite and the appointment shows up in Elderella automatically. Smoother and more reliable Many speed and stability improvements so Elderella stays responsive even under heavy load.

Introducing Call Protection — never miss what the doctor said Give your elder a dedicated Elderella phone number to share with doctors, pharmacies, family, and anyone else who calls. Calls ring through to their real phone like any other call, but Elderella sits quietly in the middle, recording and transcribing every conversation. Read exactly what was said, search the call history, and keep your elder's real number private. Available on Plus and Premium plans. A brand-new Home screen — We've rebuilt your daily care snapshot from the ground up. Smarter cards, milestone celebrations, and a cleaner layout make it easier to see what matters most today. Medication safety — Elderella now flags risky drug combinations when you add or edit a medication, and asks you to confirm moderate interactions before saving. Better source citations — When Ella references something, she now points clearly to the note, task, event, or medication she used — with friendlier labels so you know where the answer came from.

Round-bottle pill capture Cylindrical prescription bottles wrap the label around the bottle. Elderella now takes a few quick shots and stitches them together so the medication name, dosage, and instructions come through clean. Pill photos for everyone The pill photo feature is now on for every user. You'll see a photo of each medication where one is available. You can also upload your own photo and it will be used for that medication going forward. A "More" button on every elder The per-elder bottom-bar button has been renamed from "About" to "More" — clearer that it's where you'll find everything related to that elder. Lists inside tasks Tasks can now have a checklist of subtasks. Add steps under a task, check them off as you go, and the parent task tracks your progress. Plus countless other improvements Dozens of smaller refinements: better Ella conversations, smarter notifications, clearer Care Team layouts, polished briefing PDFs, a tighter trial flow, and a long list of quality-of-life fixes throughout the app.

Improved notifications. When multiple reminders arrive together, you now see your Elder's name in the title and each task called out by name instead of repeated headers. Task reminders also turn on automatically when you add a due date, defaulting to a sensible noon time. Tapping a task's disabled reminder opens the edit screen at the due date section so you can turn it on. Revamped onboarding flow. Clearer steps from start to finish, a new "How did you find us?" question, an optional WhatsApp family group setup that adds Ella as a participant, and a redesigned Add to Team flow where you enter details first and choose whether to invite afterwards. When you add a new Elder during onboarding, your SMS routing switches automatically so Ella understands which loved one you're texting about. Support for tentative events. Events your Elder mentions as "maybe" or "possibly" are now saved as Tentative so they don't clutter your confirmed calendar. You can see at a glance which events are set and which still need a decision. Redesigned home screen. Post-onboarding and reminder cards now use a single unified system with proper priority ordering, so the most important cards rise to the top and the layout stays consistent as you move through setup.
