For grandparents
You don't need a smartphone tutorial to stay close. ConKarma emails you a weekly note about what your grandkids did. Once a week, the kids ask you a question — "Grandpa, what was YOUR 8th birthday like?" — and you record an audio answer right from the email. No app to download. No password to remember. Just the link in the email, and your voice on the other end.
ConKarma lets you stay close to your grandkids without downloading an app, learning a new interface, or remembering a password. Your son or daughter invites you from their Cell, and once a week you get an email digest with a signed link — click it and you see a nicely rendered page of highlights from the week in any browser, no login. Once a week the kids also ask you a question, like "Grandpa, what was YOUR 8th birthday like?", and you can record an audio answer right there in the email.
It's read-only and private: the links are single-use and expire in 14 days, the audio you record goes only into the kids' archive, and there's no account, no tracking, and no marketing. The digest arrives Sunday morning with no streak nags or guilt reminders, and if you ever want out, you reply STOP and the parent is notified to remove you.
Your son or daughter invites you from their Cell. You get a weekly email with a signed link. Click it to see the digest landing page (rendered nicely; works in any browser, no login). That's it. No app to update, no password to forget, no notifications to mute.
Once a week, the kids see 'Ask your grandparent something.' Their question — 'Grandpa, what was YOUR 8th birthday like?' — arrives in your weekly digest with a record-audio button right in the browser. Your answer goes into the kids' archive, unlocked at the right age. Multi-decade payoff.
Weekly digest (Sunday 7am local). Highlights from the week — milestones, mood high points, a photo or two if shared with you. Plus this week's 'Question for Grandpa' if there is one. No streak nags, no 'you haven't opened in 3 days' reminders. It's just the email, nothing extra.
Read-only on the digest, single-use signed links (each email's link expires in 14 days). The audio you record uploads only to the kid's archive — not stored on a profile of yours, not used for anything else. No account, no tracking, no marketing. If you stop wanting it, reply STOP and the parent gets notified to remove you from the digest list.
You don't have to install ConKarma to receive the digest, leave a question, or contribute a photo or memory. Every grandparent-companion surface lives on the web at conkarma.app/grandparent/* — your daughter emails you a link, you click it, you're in. No account, no password, no app store.
Open any digest, tap the speaker icon, and the page reads itself aloud — in your language, at a pace you can follow. Same for the 'Question for Grandpa' prompts. Works in the browser, no installation. If you do install the app later, Spoken UI is the same thing on the in-app surfaces. Pair it with the OS text-scaling at 2× and the digest becomes legible without glasses for most readers.

Your answer uploads only to the kid's archive, unlocked at the right age — it isn't stored on a profile of yours or used for anything else. The digest links are single-use and expire after 14 days, and there's no tracking or marketing.
Yes. Open any digest, tap the speaker icon, and the page reads itself aloud in your language at a pace you can follow, including the question prompts. It works right in the browser, and paired with your device's text-scaling the digest becomes legible without glasses for most readers.
