Your mum's phone. Managed by you.
You don't live in her house, but the phone mess ends up being yours: the icon that moved, the call she can't answer, the pill she can't remember taking. Quiles Mayor turns her Android into a simple phone —her six people, a red button that alerts you, reminders— and lets you adjust it from yours when needed. You set it up one afternoon and stay close without hovering.
WHY IT HELPS
Enough, without asking her to relearn anything.
Her people on the home screen
Six large faces in fixed tiles. Yours where you left it. Your sister's, also. Two weeks in, she stops asking why anything has moved.
A red button that alerts you
Hold 3 seconds. Five-second countdown to cancel if she pressed by mistake. If she lets it run, you —the family member she chose— get an alert with the last known location. It does not call emergency services; it calls you.
You adjust it from your phone
New medication? A grandchild to add to the screen? You edit it from your phone and it syncs to hers. No need to drive over for every change.
HOW IT FITS YOUR WEEK
One afternoon to set up. Then peace of mind.
Start the free trial
14 days, no charge. You get the link by email to install and pair your phone with hers. If it doesn't fit, cancel and nothing is charged.
Set it up with her beside you
Add her photo contacts, her medication, her SOS contact. Twenty minutes in the living room while you make her a coffee. After that, changes happen from your phone.
Stay close, without hovering
If she presses the button, you're alerted. If she misses a pill, you're alerted. The rest of the time her phone just works and you don't have to open anything.
WHAT WE DO NOT DO
Your parent is not a tracking target.
We are not an emergency service. The SOS button alerts the family member she configures; it does not dial emergency services or a monitoring centre. It is not a medical device and does not replace one. For a health emergency, you call the emergency number yourselves.
No continuous GPS. Her location is shared when she presses SOS, or when she opens "Where am I?" herself. That's it. You will not know what time she went to the chemist.
No cloud. Photos, contacts and medication live on her phone. Sync to yours is end-to-end encrypted. Only what genuinely needs a server passes through ours: the SOS alert when you're on different networks, and scam-shield updates.
No analytics, no ads. Zero external SDKs. What happens on the phone stays on the phone.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Everything in. No premium modules.
- Home screen with her six people. Large faces and names, fixed positions, no automatic reshuffling.
- Family SOS button. Hold 3 seconds, 5 to cancel, alert to the family member she configures with the last known location. Alerts the family, not emergency services.
- Full-screen medication reminders. Hard to dismiss by accident. If she hasn't responded after 45 minutes, we alert you.
- Remote management from your phone. Edit contacts, medication and settings from yours; it syncs encrypted to hers. No trip for every change.
- Scam and call shield. Only authorised contacts get through; the "I'm from your electricity company" scams don't. Known-scam lists update in the background.
- Medical card on the lock screen. Allergies, blood type, contacts. Useful when decisions have to be made fast.
- Optional read-aloud. Each screen is read out if you enable it.
- "Where am I?" Large clock and a text address when she feels lost or disoriented.

Why a subscription and not a one-time payment? Because some things genuinely need a live server: getting the SOS alert through when you're on different networks, and keeping the scam shield up to date. We charge only for that, not for the features that live on her phone. A hardware monitoring pendant service runs around €30–37/month; here you pay under €5 and use the phone your parent already owns.
COMMON QUESTIONS
What you'll want to know before you start.
Is this a monitoring service or an emergency service?
No. Quiles Mayor is a family-managed simple phone. The SOS button alerts the family member she configures; it does not call emergency services or a 24/7 monitoring centre, and it is not a medical device. For a health emergency, you call the emergency number yourselves.
Why a subscription and not a one-time payment?
The relay that gets the SOS alert across networks and the scam-shield updates need a maintained server. The subscription pays for that upkeep. What lives only on her phone (home screen, contacts, medication) keeps working even if you stop paying.
If I stop paying, does the SOS shut off instantly?
No. There's a long grace period and we alert you, the caregiver —not your parent. The on-device features keep working. What depends on a server (SOS relay, up-to-date scam shield) is what degrades, and never without warning first.
Does it need the internet?
Not for calls, reminders or the medical card. The cross-network SOS alert and sync to your phone do use a connection; SIM or wifi is fine.
How is it different from a Doro or an Emporia?
They're fixed hardware, €180 to €250, the battery tires in two years, and they force your parent to learn a new phone. Quiles Mayor installs on the Android she already has, or a cheap second-hand one if hers is slow. The investment is in software, not a piece of plastic.
Does it work for advanced dementia?
No. If your mum no longer recognises faces or gets lost inside her own home, this won't help her. She needs in-person care. Telling you that is more useful than charging you a subscription for something that won't work in her case.
My mum lives in another city. Do I have to install it myself?
The initial setup needs the phone in front of you once (twenty minutes). After that, changes happen remotely from your phone. If you can't go, a sibling or a patient nephew can set it up following the wizard.
PRIVACY
We only use a server for what genuinely needs one.
The medical card and contacts are GDPR special-category data and stay only on your parent's device. Sync to your phone is end-to-end encrypted. Only the essentials pass through our server: the SOS alert when you're on different networks (it carries the encrypted envelope, it doesn't open it) and the known-scam list. No photos, contacts or medication.
Payment is handled by Paddle (Merchant of Record), with a 14-day no-questions refund on top of the free trial. Support at [email protected].
