For the sandwich generation

You're the seam — between your kids and your aging parents.

Coordinating two cells, two calendars, two sets of routines, and the cognitive load is on you. ConKarma is built around that shape — multi-cell membership, separate state per cell, clean separation, you as the only person who sees both sides.

ConKarma is built for the seam you occupy between your kids and your aging parents — multi-cell membership with clean separation, where you're the only person who sees both sides. You belong to your immediate-family cell and your parents' cell at the same time, each with independent state: separate DNA balance, separate calendar layer, separate role. A cell switcher in the home tab moves you between them, and nothing leaks across — the kid in one cell sees nothing from the other, and neither does the parent.

From your view, calendars sync across both cells, recurring chores work in either direction, and the read-only grandparent digest lets elderly parents stay involved without installing the full app. You can be the parent in your kids' cell and an adult member in your parents' cell at once; those roles don't conflict. The elder cell earns its keep when more than one person shares the coordination — skip it if a personal calendar event already covers it.

01

Two cells, one orchestrator

You belong to your immediate-family cell and your parents' cell at the same time. Each has independent state: separate DNA balance, separate calendar layer, separate role. The cell switcher in the home tab is the way you navigate them. Nothing leaks across — the kid in cell A doesn't see anything from cell B; the parent in cell B doesn't see anything from cell A. You are the only seam.

02

What flows naturally today

Calendar sync across both cells from your view. Recurring chores in either direction. Shared journals within each cell. The grandparent-companion read-only digest works for elderly parents who don't want to install the full app — same surface that ferries grandparent presence into the kid cell ferries you into the elder cell.

03

The role you play in the elder cell

Adult member, not administrator. Cell-management decisions (who joins, what subscriptions, what visibility) stay with whoever owns the cell — usually a parent. You can be the parent role in your kids' cell and the adult role in your parents' cell simultaneously; those roles don't conflict and don't bleed.

04

What's honestly not built yet

Medication adherence tracking. We hear the ask often and it's real. The compliance surface is also real (HIPAA in the US, MHRA in the UK, EU patchwork) and getting it wrong is dangerous. We'll ship it when we can ship it correctly. Until then, pair ConKarma with a dedicated med-adherence app and use a shared calendar event for "did the meds happen?".

05

When the elder cell is worth it

When more than one person is involved in elder-care logistics, when a calendar needs to exist that survives the orchestrator getting sick, when there's actual coordination value. Skip it if you're the only person and a personal calendar event already covers it — the cell's value is shared state across people, not a private tool for one.
