CareGoals on iPhone

The most private place to say the hardest things is already in your pocket.

People don't need another app, another game, another activity to talk about the end of life. They need permission. And the deepest permission there is comes from privacy — a place so safe that nothing you say leaves it. On your iPhone, that's exactly what CareGoals is built to be.

Why this, and not another feature

Permission comes from privacy.

Death is always in the room. What's been missing was never a cleverer tool — it was a place safe enough to finally speak.

You can say things to no one that you can't yet say to the people you love. That's not avoidance; it's how the words get found. So CareGoals on your phone isn't a flashy AI trick to perform for. It's the opposite: plain questions, and your answers saved only on your device. You can rehearse the truth in private, and only then decide who gets to hear it.

The honest state of it

What works today

No overclaiming. Here is exactly how CareGoals meets your iPhone right now.

Works today

Private on your device, and Apple-native where it counts

  • Saved only on your device. Your answers live in your own browser, not on our servers.
  • Apple Intelligence Writing Tools work right inside CareGoals' text boxes on a supported iPhone — on-device help to find or soften a word, if you want it. You never have to; the words are yours.
  • Add your wishes to Medical ID. Put your health-care proxy and a note pointing to your care wishes in the Health app's Medical ID — visible from the lock screen, where first responders look. Health app → Medical ID → Edit.
  • Install it as an app. In Safari, tap Share → Add to Home Screen. CareGoals opens full-screen, like any app.
  • Carry it. A printed wallet card and a QR that opens your document — from your emergency door card and your Care Wishes.
The honest part

Nothing you write leaves your phone

There is no AI in CareGoals' questions. Your answers are saved in your browser on this device and aren't sent to us or anyone else; they leave your phone only if you print them or share a link.

The threshold is open. You don't need a reason, or permission from anyone else.
