Friends and family can sign up and follow along in a couple of taps.

Stay coordinated

Stay coordinated

They sign up for what they can help with. You get one calendar and hub with everything in one place.

What you get

Aflote helps you share the mental load, so you're not the only one holding it all in your head, or the only one carrying everything.

Activate your support circle.

People want to help. They just don't always know how. “Let me know if you need anything,” friends mean it, but asking feels like a burden, and every offer becomes one more thing for you to coordinate.

Until now. Aflote makes it easy to communicate what you need, and just as easy for the people who love you to show up.

Ways to ask for help

Everything in one place.

Every claimed task, upcoming appointment, and the pharmacy and doctor's numbers everyone keeps needing, all in one shared place.

No more group texts to figure out who's doing what, and no more of it living only in your head.

Consolidated calendar and tasks

Keep everyone close.

Post one update and friends and family can see how your loved on is doing, so you're not repeating the same news over and over.

People stay close and can send love back, even from far away.

Shared updates and messages

Private, always.

A serious illness is deeply personal. You choose exactly who's in, and your Flote is never findable through search.

Never indexed

Search engines can't find your Flote, so no one stumbles onto it.

Only who you invite

Yours to open or keep close, and nothing reaches anyone you haven't added.

Never sold

Your information is never sold to advertisers, ever.

Sea otters holding paws

We hold each other afloat.

Otters hold paws so they don't drift apart while they sleep. Fire ants link bodies into living rafts to survive floods. There's an instinct, when life turns, to come together.

Asking for help doesn't mean you care any less or aren't doing enough. It's how the people who love you get a chance to show up.

That's what we wanted to build. A place where those around you can hold you up, and you can let them.
