The safe payment rule
Only send money to a bank account you already have saved, or pay the business directly (garage, hotel, train). Never send money to a new account or a friend’s account.
Scammers pretend to be family. FamFA asks the real one.
When Mum gets a text from a “new number”, one tap sends a check to the real Tom’s phone. FamFA also reminds her about her tablets, and tells the family if a dose is missed.
Coming soon. Be the first to know when it’s ready.
- Large text, big buttons
- Built for parents and grandparents

Had a message or call? Check with the real person.
Mum taps “Is it really Tom?” and says what they asked for. Tom’s own phone asks him straight away, he confirms with Face ID or fingerprint, and the answer comes back to Mum in seconds. Try it below.

Where is everyone? One calm map for the family.
When someone chooses to share, the family sees them on one simple map. After a worrying call, you can see where Mum is before you ring her back.
- Opt-in, person by personNobody appears on the map until they tap “Share my location too”.
- “Where is Mum?” in one tapIt sits right on Mum’s card in the Family screen.
- Everyone togetherSee the whole family at a glance from your home screen.
Add a medicine in three short steps.
Do it for Mum from your own phone. Plain questions, big choices, and a summary to check before you save.
1
Name it
Choose who it’s for, then type the medicine.
2
Set the times
Once, twice or more a day, at the times that suit.
3
Check and save
Choose when the family is told about a missed dose.
Check this looks right
Remind Mum to take 1 tablet of Metformin twice a day at 08:00 and 20:00, every day. If it is not marked done within 1 hour, the family is told.
Two sides of the same family.
Everyone picks a side when they first open FamFA, and gets a home screen made for them.
For Tom: everyone at a glance
- Answer “Is it really you?” checks from your own phone
- Set up Mum’s medicines and hear about missed doses
- See where everyone is, if they choose to share
- Add family members by scanning a QR code
Simple rules that keep you safe.
FamFA comes with a short set of tips in plain words. These are the two that matter most.
Signs of a scam
- They say their phone is lost or broken and this is a new number.
- They want money sent to a friend’s, landlord’s or “new” account.
- They say it has to happen right now.
- They ask you not to tell anyone.
- They ask for a code that was texted to you.
Before you start
Does Mum need to be good with phones?
No. Her screen shows only what she needs today: her tablets with a big Done button, and an “Is it really…?” button for each person. You set up the rest from your phone.
What happens when someone taps “Is it really Tom?”
They choose what was asked for (money, bank details, a code, or just checking) and can add a note. Tom gets a notification on his own phone and answers yes or no. The check is saved in Activity so the family can see it.
Who is Beacon?
Beacon is FamFA’s friendly guide. It appears around the app and changes expression to show whether things look fine, are being checked, or need your attention.
What if Tom doesn’t answer?
Then don’t send anything. Real family can wait while you check. Scammers are the ones who say it has to happen right now.
Do we have to share our location?
No. Each person chooses whether to share. Until someone taps “Share my location too”, the map stays empty.
How do we add people?
Open Family and tap “Add someone with a QR code”. They scan it on their phone and join your family group.
Look out for each other ♡
Same people. A safer tomorrow.
FamFA is nearly ready. Join the waitlist and we’ll email you when you can set it up with your family. It takes a few minutes and one QR code.
