Telocare is about microdosing on self-care - taking care of yourself when you don’t have time to open your phone, let alone go to a yoga class, or to the gym, or cook a super healthy meal.
Telocare is a lock screen app. It is used 95% from your lock screen, 5% from in the app itself––the inverse of pretty much every app ever.
You answer a series of questions from the lock screen by swiping left SLOWLY, clicking view, and then choosing one of the four smiley faces based on how you feel in comparison to normal:
- Great
- Good
- Ugh
- Horrible
You open the app itself to review how you’re doing and see what you might need to work on, but beyond that we want you to be getting on with your life, not looking at a screen.
Note on permissions:
Push notifications - We use notifications on your lock screen to encourage you to check in with yourself and how youre feeling/doing. Thats it.
Location - Sharing your location with Telocare allows you to see how much time you are spending in specific awesome situations like being in nature, or at the gym. Your location data is always stored on your phone, and as soon as weve worked out how many points to give you for being in nature/at the gym etc. those past locations are wiped.
Health - Granting Telocare access to your Apple Health Kit will integrate all other fitness, health and meditation apps you are already using into your garden, rewarding your hard work without you having to input it a second time. Same story as location, all data stays on your phone. We simply use health data to work out how many points to give you. Dont want us seeing health data, dont enable Health Kit access. Simple.
