Sentinel Dialer

Sentinel Dialer tells your loved one who is calling, and quietly keeps track of the calls they might have missed. It is built for elderly users and people with memory challenges, and for the family who look after them. WHO IS CALLING - Sentinel names the caller while the phone is still ringing - If the number is not one they have saved, Sentinel says so plainly - No accusations and no guessing: a saved contact is named, an unknown number is simply called unknown - Sentinel never blocks a call. It tells you who it is and lets you decide WHY THIS MATTERS Scam calls arrive all day, and each one leaves behind something that looks like a missed call. For someone with memory trouble that is genuinely distressing: they cannot tell a real missed call from a stranger, so they worry they have missed their family. Sentinel answers that question, both while the phone rings and afterwards. DID I MISS A CALL? - Each contact card shows when they last spoke - Missed calls that still need returning are marked clearly - A "Clear Missed Calls" bar appears when calls are waiting; one tap clears them - Daily call counts, so a caregiver can see at a glance how the day went SIMPLE AND SAFE TO USE - Large, easy-to-read contact cards - Two-column grid shows favourites at a glance - No confusing menus or tiny buttons - Home screen widget: one tap to call the emergency contact A PAUSE BEFORE EVERY CALL - Every call asks for confirmation before dialling - A personalised warning screen: "MOM, WAIT. READ THIS." - A five-second pause before the buttons appear, so there is time to read - Prevents accidental calls and scam callbacks EMERGENCY ACCESS - Quick 911 button always visible - Set a designated emergency contact - Two-step confirmation prevents accidental emergency calls CAREGIVER CONTROLS - PIN-protected settings - Choose which contacts appear on the home screen - Customise warning messages and names - Reorder contacts by importance or call frequency ACCESSIBILITY - Light and dark themes - Colourblind mode for red-green colour vision - Large touch targets throughout - Haptic feedback for confirmation Perfect for: - Elderly parents with memory challenges - Anyone who wants a simpler phone experience - Caregivers managing a loved one's phone PERMISSIONS Caller ID needs the phone's "Caller ID & spam" role, which you are asked for once and can hand back in Settings at any time.
