For families and caregivers

• Keep sessions short — about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Choose a calm time of day, when they are rested.
• Sit beside them, not across from them.
• Let them lead. Follow the stories they want to tell.
• Never correct or pressure. Celebrate whatever they remember.
• It’s fine to stop early. End while it still feels good.
• Repeat favorite cards often — familiar is comforting.

• Your photos stay only on your device. There is no account and no cloud.
• Install the app on your home screen — it helps protect your photos from being cleared by the browser.
• Use the monthly backup reminder to save a copy of your deck.
• Only share deck files with family you trust.
• Family Deck has no built-in AI. Your photos never leave your device. If you choose “Polish with Claude”, your words go to your own Claude account, not to us.

1. Open My Deck and tap Share this deck.
2. Give it a name, like “Mom’s Deck”, and tap Share.
3. Choose how to send it — email, AirDrop, WhatsApp or a text message.
4. The other caregiver opens My Deck, taps Import a deck, and picks the file.

The file goes straight from your device to theirs. Nothing is uploaded to us.
