Keep them known.

A private family memory system for dementia caregiving. Real and materially built — a research preview, not yet proven with a family in daily use.

Facts fade.
Love remains.

Known helps families hold onto the details that make their person who they are.

Private by design

Your family’s stories stay in your family. Built so they stay that way.

Small details. Big impact.

The little things help others connect in a big way.

Better care together

Help anyone caring for your loved one feel confident and connected.

Where this actually stands

A research preview, not a launch.

Known is materially built — real portrait, card, and handoff flows, not a mockup.

What it hasn’t done yet is what MedinaCHF and Hearth have: run for a real family, day to day, and prove it actually helps in the moment care gets hard.

This page is a research preview, shared honestly as what it is — not a launch.
