About Oarly
A reminder you cannot swipe away.
Phones are built to make notifications easy to dismiss, and we dismiss them all day. The one interruption people still stop for is a ringing phone. Oarly turns the moments that matter into exactly that.
Why it rings, and who for.
Oarly started from a simple observation: a notification tells you something happened, a call asks you to do something about it. So the reminder is a real call, full screen over the lock screen, with a voice that says what it is for.
- For yourself
- For anyone who has missed the dentist with the reminder sitting right there on the screen. Appointments, medication, the early flight, the renewal due in March.
- For someone you look after
- For the parent living alone, a partner, the kids. A check in call at the times you choose, in their own language, and you are told if nobody answers.
Decisions we made on purpose.
No phone number, anywhere.
We never ask for your number, so there is none to leak, sell or spam. The call reaches you through the app, over the internet.
The lock screen only says Oarly.
What the call is about is spoken after you answer, so a glance at your phone cannot give away a therapy session or a prescription.
We never read your calendar.
You get your own Oarly email address and put it on the invites you choose. No password to hand over, no account to link.
Proof before trust.
Setup ends with a real test call. You are not done until it rings and you answer it, on your phone or theirs.
A missed call is not the end of it.
A reminder rings up to four times and a check in up to five, and when nobody answers, a notification says so.
A recorded reply, not a chatbot.
When someone answers a check in, their spoken reply is recorded and written up for the family. Nothing on the line pretends to be a person.
What Oarly will not do.
- Oarly is not an emergency, medical or health service, and it never phones emergency services.
- We do not sell your data or share it for anyone's advertising.
- This website sets no cookies, runs no analytics and has no tracking.
Who makes Oarly.
Oarly is built and run independently, from Portugal. Every number on our homepage, from the four rings to the minutes between them, is read from the code that rings your phone.
