How it works

Three simple steps to protect your loved one with as little disruption to their routine as possible.

1

A fresh, protected line

We set up a new protected Caring Owls number and move your family's calls and texts to it. It's a brand-new line, so the scammers who already have their old number don't reach it. Prefer to keep their current number? Porting is available with our concierge setup. If your loved one doesn't text, we can often protect their existing number without a port.

2

Set up approved contacts

Family members add trusted contacts through a simple web dashboard. Only approved people can call or text your loved one.

3

Scammers are blocked silently

Unknown callers and texters are filtered before they ever reach the protected line. Family is notified and can review any blocked attempts.

Built for safety and simplicity

Protection that works in the background so your loved one doesn't have to think about it.

📞

Call Filtering

Only approved contacts ring through. Unknown callers are sent to voicemail, which family can review and approve.

💬

Text Filtering

Scam texts never appear on your loved one's phone. Approved contacts can message normally. Unknown texts are held for family review.

🦉

Family Dashboard

Manage approved contacts, review blocked attempts, and monitor activity from any browser. Multiple family members can share access.

📱

Still a real iPhone

Calling and texting work the way they always have. No locked-down senior phone, no new interface to learn.

🔔

Real-Time Alerts

Get notified when unknown numbers attempt contact, when your loved one calls an unknown number, or when voicemails need review.

🆘

911 Emergency Access

Emergency calling always works. A dedicated 911 button connects directly through the native cellular network for maximum reliability.

Designed for caregivers

You're already doing so much. Caring Owls gives you one less thing to worry about.

Manage contacts remotely

Add or remove approved contacts from anywhere. No need to physically handle your loved one's phone.

Review and approve

When a legitimate caller is blocked, listen to their voicemail and add them to the approved list with one click.

Share with family

Invite siblings, spouses, or other caregivers to the dashboard. Everyone stays informed, everyone can help manage.
