For your family
Keep important details in one place.
See appointments, visits, meals, and key contacts without searching through old messages.
Cancer caregiver support for families
When someone you love has cancer, you shouldn't have to coordinate everything alone.
Aflote gives your family one shared place to organize treatment appointments, rides, meals, visits, and updates. Share one link, and the people who care can choose exactly how to help.
- Free
- Private by default
- No app download required
Facing cancer yourself? You can start a Flote for your own support circle, too.
One link.
One place.
One place.

Help should feel like help
The offers arrive. Then the organizing lands on you.
After a cancer diagnosis, people mean it when they say, “Let me know if you need anything.” But deciding what to ask for, answering every message, and keeping track of who promised what can become another job. Aflote turns those offers into help your circle can act on.
One update, not twelve texts
Tell everyone how things are going once, when you are ready, instead of repeating the same news.
Specific help people can claim
Turn vague offers into rides, meals, errands, and visits with a real person and time attached.
Less to hold in your head
Keep treatment appointments, key contacts, and the help coming this week together in one shared place.
How it works
Designed to be the easiest part of a hard week.
Start a Flote
Create a free, shared page for someone you love or for yourself.
Choose what would help
Add rides to treatment, meals, visits, errands, or whatever would make this week easier.
Share one link
Send it to friends and family so they can see what is needed and stay updated.
Let your circle step in
People claim what they can do. You see the plan without chasing every offer.
Your family is already juggling enough. Your support circle wants a clear way to help.
When cancer brings appointments, key contacts, and offers of help, Aflote connects both sides: a private place for your family to manage the details, and one shared page where friends and relatives can see what would help, claim what they can, and stay updated.
For your support circle
Let people help without making you manage them.
Post a ride to chemo, groceries for the week, or time to sit through an infusion. Your circle can choose what they can do.
For everyone you choose
Share one update instead of repeating it.
Let friends and family know how things are going once, then receive their love and encouragement in the same place.
Private by default. Always in your control.
A cancer diagnosis is deeply personal. Your Flote starts private, you choose who to let in, and you can share it more openly only if you want to. It is never findable through search.
Not indexed
Search engines never index a Flote, even if you make it public.
You approve access
Only people you approve can see a private Flote.
Never sold
Your information is never sold to advertisers.
Built from lived experience
I built the tool I wish my family had when my dad had cancer.
“When my dad was diagnosed with a rare cancer, we were overwhelmed by appointments, decisions, and friends who wanted to help. We needed one simple way to organize the support around him and protect the time we still had together. Aflote is the tool I wish we'd had.”
Veronica Pulido, Co-Founder & CEO of Aflote
Why we call it Aflote
We hold each other aflote.
Give the people who love you a clear way to show up. Start a Flote, share one link, and let your circle carry some of the practical load. Core features are free.
Questions families ask us
How do I organize help when someone in my family has cancer?
Create a free Flote, add the specific kinds of help your family needs, and share one link. Friends and family can claim rides, visits, meals, errands, and other tasks themselves, while everyone stays connected in one place.
Can I use Aflote if I am the person with cancer?
Yes. You can start a Flote for yourself and invite a trusted family member or friend to help manage it with you. A loved one can also start a Flote on your behalf.
Is Aflote free?
Yes. The core tools, including organizing help, the shared calendar, and key contacts, are free. You never have to upgrade to keep using them.
Can I choose who sees my Flote?
Yes. Every Flote starts private. Keep it private so only people you approve can see it, or make it public so anyone can view it. You can change this at any time, and your information is never sold to advertisers.
What is different about Aflote from a group text or spreadsheet?
A group text puts the coordination back on you, and a spreadsheet still needs someone to maintain it. On a Flote, your circle can claim specific help themselves, while appointments, contacts, and updates stay together.
Can more than one family member help manage a Flote?
Yes. You can invite other family members as admins so the coordination does not rest on one person.
Do the people helping need to download an app or create an account?
No app is required. Aflote works in a phone's browser, and most ways to help do not require an account.
