Mindris

Built by a brother motivated by his sister. Mindris gives you specific steps for the person you actually care for, in the moment you need them.

When someone you care for is in crisis, general advice is useless. You do not need an article about de-escalation. You need to know what works for this person, right now.

Mindris ("MIND-riss") is a support tool for people caring for someone with a neurological or developmental condition. You build a profile of the person once. When something happens, you describe it in a sentence, and you get specific steps built around them.

HOW IT WORKS

Build a profile. How they communicate. What their behaviors actually mean. Known triggers, early warning signs, and the things that make it worse. What calms them, which comfort items they respond to, and who they trust. What must never be done.

Describe what is happening. Type it or say it out loud, because your hands are often full. Pick how serious it is.

Get steps you can act on. Not general strategies. Steps that name their items, respect their limits, and account for what has already worked before.

IT LEARNS WHAT WORKS

Rate what helped and what did not. Mindris remembers. Strategies that worked come back. Strategies that failed stop being suggested. Over time it stops offering advice you already know does not work for this person.

BUILT AROUND HOW THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENS

It never suggests an item you do not have with you. It never suggests anything on your do not do list. If the trigger is still present, the first step is always removing them from it. If you ask a direct question, you get an answer, not a protocol.

Past situations are grouped into conversations you can scroll back through and continue.

PRIVACY

Mindris holds detailed information about someone who often cannot speak for themselves, so we have been careful with it.

No analytics. No advertising. No trackers of any kind. Your profile is never shared with insurers, employers, schools, or other users.

Your description of the situation and the profile are sent to OpenAI to generate guidance, because that is the only way advice can be built around one specific person. You are asked to agree to that before you enter anything, in plain language, not buried in a policy.

We ask you to use a nickname rather than a real name. It costs you nothing and it removes the detail that would matter most if data were ever exposed.

Delete your account from Settings at any time. It removes everything, permanently.

IMPORTANT

Mindris is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe, and it is not a substitute for your care team.

Always seek the advice of a doctor or other qualified health provider in addition to using this app, and before making any medical decision about the person you care for. Never disregard professional medical advice, or delay seeking it, because of something this app told you.

Suggestions are generated by an AI system and can be wrong. You know the person you care for better than any software does. In an emergency, contact emergency services.

WHY THIS EXISTS

My sister has Dup15q Syndrome. I grew up watching my parents figure things out in the moment, with no way to hold on to what worked and no way to hand it to anyone else.

Mindris is the tool I wanted them to have.
