For families

Close by, without taking over.

Babbl is there first and foremost for your mum or dad: so they can keep handling everyday things themselves. You're involved whenever they want you to be.

Your role

Not the helpdesk. But close by.

Much of what your parent asks you now, they can simply do themselves with Babbl: understand a letter, find an appointment, look something up. That saves you phone calls — but above all, it keeps your parent independent.

And when it's nicer to do something together, or real help is needed, your parent brings you in. With Babbl, you'll know straight away what it's about.

Together

How your parent brings you in

Always at your parent's initiative. This is what you then see in the Babbl app.

Letter

“Could you share this letter with Anne as well?”

Babbl · from MumMum is sharing a letter from the council with you, along with Babbl's explanation.
Appointment

“Could you let Peter know what time my appointment is?”

Babbl · from DadDad is at the dentist on Tuesday at half past ten.
Transport

“Could you ask my daughter if she can take me to the dentist?”

Babbl · from MumMum is asking if you can take her to the dentist on Tuesday at ten o'clock. Yes, I can · I can't make it
Shopping

“My daughter is doing the shopping later.”

Honest about what you see

Involved, not watching.

What you see

  • What your parent shares with you: a letter, an appointment, the shopping list
  • A request for help, if your parent asks for it
  • Who else is in the circle

What you don't see

  • Conversations with Babbl
  • Alerts when your parent didn’t do something
  • Where your parent is, or how often Babbl is used
One app

The same app for you and your parent.

There's no separate “family app”. Everyone uses the same Babbl app, in a simple or a full view. What someone can do depends on what your parent allows — not on which app it is.

Set it up together

Your parent can set up Babbl themselves, or you can do it together — linking their email, for example. Whoever starts can then invite others.

Joining happens at home

Adding someone with wider permissions happens at Babbl, in the home, out loud. That way nobody can simply look in from a distance — not even a scammer talking your parent into something over the phone.

Encrypted

Whatever your parent shares with you travels encrypted from Babbl to your phone.
