Someone to talk to today.
Everything they said, kept.
Trove checks in with your parent every day. One tap and they’re talking. Their stories get saved in their own voice, for the people who’ll want them.
Isolation doesn’t shout. It whispers on an ordinary day.
The hardest moments aren’t crises. They are the ordinary hours with nowhere to share a thought, recount an old memory, or feel truly connected.

Your parent will not call you at nine in the morning. They do not want to be a bother.
That is the arithmetic every older person runs before they pick up the phone. Is this worth somebody’s time. Am I interrupting. Most days the answer they give themselves is no, and the day stays quiet.
Pearl has nowhere else to be
No other visit waiting, no dinner getting cold, no polite hurry in her voice. There is nothing to weigh, so nothing gets weighed.
The same story, four times
Nobody sighs. Nobody finishes the sentence for them. The fourth telling gets saved exactly like the first, because the fourth telling is usually the one with the detail in it.
No homework. That’s the whole design.
StoryWorth sends prompts. Remento wants video. Both need someone who follows through. Trove asks nothing. The friend is the archive.
You set them up
Five minutes on your phone: their name, the hour, Pearl or Jasper, one of ten languages. They’re not involved.
They talk
A notification arrives at 9. One tap, one screen, one button. No account, no password, nothing to break.
It keeps
When a story surfaces, the blue mug or the winter in Galveston, Trove saves it in their voice. Titled, dated, sealed.
Nobody reads their stories while they’re living.
Not their son. Not their daughter. Not their facility. Not us. The keeper sees a count, nothing more. The archive opens when they’re gone. A diary someone else can read is not a diary, and they feel it.
Pearl doesn’t quiz them. Pearl believes them.
Nobody gets corrected, tested, or asked what day it is. Your parent does not have to be having a good day.
Reaches out first
They never have to remember. The notification arrives at the hour you chose, like a friend keeping a standing date.
Speaks their language
English, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, and more. Slower cadence and louder output for hearing loss, set once by you.
Never corrects
No reality orientation, no memory tests, no “actually.” Validation first, the way trained dementia caregivers are taught.
Not pretending to be human
Pearl is a warm color-shifting presence, not a fake face or name. Nobody’s being tricked.
Never puts their words on screen
Captions carry Pearl’s words, never theirs. Nobody watches their own speech typed back at them, which matters after a stroke.
Also notices when someone’s gone quiet
If your parent hasn’t reached out in a while, Pearl gently asks when they last spoke to their loved one. A nudge, never a guilt trip or a reason to feel like a burden.

Straight answers Common questions
Does my parent have to learn anything?
No. A notification arrives each morning at your chosen time. Tapping it opens one screen with one button. That’s the whole interface. No account, no password, nothing to log out of or accidentally delete.
Is this pretending to be a real person?
No, and that matters. Pearl introduces herself as Pearl from Trove and deliberately doesn’t look human. Seniors know and don’t mind. Being deceived is what they object to.
Why can’t I read the stories now?
Because if you could, they’d know, and they’d tell different stories. The seal is what makes the archive worth having. You see counts, titles stay hidden, and it all unlocks when they pass.
What if my parent has dementia?
Pearl never corrects, quizzes, or reality-orients. Repetition is welcome. Families with a parent in mid-stage cognitive decline are who this was built for first.
What happens to the recordings?
Stored encrypted, never sold, never used to train anyone’s model. Cancel and you can export the whole archive or have it destroyed. Your call, in writing.
One screen. One button. Nothing else on it.
Tap the notification, or the button under it, to run a real visit. This is a scripted demo of the interaction model, not live audio. The pacing, the language, the caption rule, and the moment a story gets saved are all true to the product.
Ruth never signed up for anything. Her son did, on his own phone, in five minutes. There is no account on this device to log out of and nothing here that can break.
Captions show what Pearl says and never what Ruth says. Turn them off above to see the other setting. A resident who slurs after a stroke should never watch their own speech typed out and corrected on a screen.

Keeper
1 of 1One keeper at a time, by design. Fewer people holding the key is the point.
Her setup
Facility console
Built for the activities director, not the IT department. Who is talking, who has gone quiet, and how your slots are being used, with a hard wall between staff and what any resident actually said.

Three residents have not opened Trove in three days or more
Margaret Voss (214), Delores Kim (118), Frank Ocampo (307). Trove doesn’t know why. That’s a person’s job.
