Today's technology, on the phone you've always used

Someone who knows you,
on the other end of the line.
So you can handle whatever comes up.

Tech that's misbehaving, a call that doesn't feel right, or just something on your mind. Arthur is someone you can call anytime — he's never in a hurry, and he remembers you, so you never start over. No app, no new device, nothing to learn.

Arthur
Hi Susan, it's good to hear from you. Did your grandson's visit go well?
Susan
It did, thank you for remembering. But now my TV's just showing a blue screen.
Arthur
Ah — that's the input setting. Happens all the time. Grab your remote and I'll walk you through getting your shows back, one button at a time. No rush.
Susan
You're a lifesaver.

Technology that could help you
wasn't built for you.

You're surrounded by apps, devices, and services that promise independence — but the interfaces assume fast fingers, sharp eyes, and a comfort with technology that was never designed with you in mind. You don't fail technology. Technology fails you.

The phone is the one interface you've trusted your whole life. You already know how to use it. You're already comfortable talking into it. But when you call for help — with a phone that's acting up, a text that looks suspicious, or something that's just on your mind — you get a menu, a hold queue, and a stranger who's never met you.

Arthur answers. Not a script. Not a menu. A real conversation — one that remembers who you are, understands what you need, and helps you handle it yourself.

Without Arthur
"Everything on my phone got tiny and I can't read it."
[Calls the help line] "Please listen carefully, as our menu options have changed."
Gave up. Squinted at it for another week.

With Arthur
"Everything on my phone got tiny and I can't read it."

Arthur
"No trouble at all — we'll sort it out together. Grab your phone and I'll walk you through making the words bigger, one step at a time. I remember you like them good and large, so we'll get it just right."

Everything you'd ask a
patient, capable friend.

No screens. No apps. No magic words. However it comes out, Arthur understands — and takes it from there.

📱

Help with any device

Phones, TVs, tablets, the thing beeping in the basement. Ask however it comes out, and Arthur walks you through it — or helps you decide when it's time to call a pro.

🛡️

A second opinion on scams

Got a strange text, call, or piece of mail? Arthur helps you tell what's real from what's a trap — before you click, pay, or share anything.

🧠

Remembers you

Your name, your family, what you talked about last week. Every call picks up where the last one left off. You never start over, and you never have to explain yourself twice.

💬

Someone to talk it through with

Not a script, not a menu. A patient, unhurried sounding board for the things on your mind — with no stake in the outcome but yours.

📞

Checks in on you

Arthur can call you — to see how you're doing, or to follow up on something that was on your mind. You're never the one who has to remember to reach out.

🏡

Keeps you in charge

Arthur knows who matters to you, so he can remind you to loop them in. You stay the one who decides who hears what, and when.

You don't have to
say it right. Just say it.

Your phone, your TV, the thing beeping in the basement — if it's got a screen, a button, or a blinking light, you can ask Arthur about it. However it comes out. No magic words, no getting it wrong.

Why did everything on my phone get so small?
How do I send this picture to my daughter?
My TV's stuck on the wrong screen and I can't get it back.
My phone stopped ringing and I don't know what I touched.
It's asking for a password I don't remember.

Whatever it is, Arthur helps you figure out what's going on and what to do next — one step at a time, no rushing, no making you feel foolish. So you handle it yourself, without waiting on anyone.

You should know what
happens to what you say.

Anyone who asks you to talk to a computer owes you a straight answer about where your words go. Here's ours, without the fine print.

🎙️

Yes, Arthur records your calls

We're not going to bury that. Recording is how Arthur remembers you — your name, your family, the thing that was bothering you last week. Your calls are turned into notes so the next one picks up where the last one left off. If Arthur didn't keep them, he'd be a stranger every time you called.

🔒

Nobody is watching you

There's no family dashboard. We haven't built one. No one gets a feed of your calls, a report card, or an alert about how you're doing. Our small team can review calls to make Arthur better at his job — that's it. What you tell Arthur isn't a way for anyone to keep tabs on you.

🚫

We don't sell any of it

Not your number, not your conversations, not a thing. Arthur runs on a handful of outside services to make calls work and to give Arthur his voice. They're only allowed to do that job for us — not to use anything about you for their own purposes.

🗑️

You can have it all erased

Ask, and it's gone — your account, the recordings, the notes, all of it. No forms to chase, no runaround. You can stop the texts by replying STOP, and stop the calls just by saying so.

One more honest line: your information is encrypted on its way to us and only the people who need it can get to it. No system anywhere is perfect, and we're not going to pretend otherwise — but you're trusting us with real conversations, and we build like we know it. The full details are in our Privacy Policy, written to be read rather than skimmed.

What Arthur is —
and what he isn't.

We'd rather tell you plainly than let you expect something Arthur can't do. Here's the honest line.

What Arthur is

  • A patient voice on the phone who helps with your devices and the small daily snags
  • A second opinion when something looks like a scam
  • Someone who remembers you and picks up where you left off
  • A sounding board for the things on your mind

What Arthur is not

  • A doctor, nurse, or medical service — Arthur doesn't diagnose or give medical advice
  • An emergency line — in an emergency, always call 911
  • A way to move money, make trades, or handle your accounts for you
  • A monitor reporting on you to your family behind your back
If it's an emergency, hang up and call 911. Arthur is a companion and a helper — not a medical, emergency, or financial service.

Setting this up for a parent?

Plenty of people find Arthur for someone else — that works just as well. Sign them up using their phone number, since that's the number Arthur will know them by, and we'll follow up with you to get everything set. If it's easier, we'll walk them through the first call ourselves.

One thing worth saying plainly: Arthur is theirs. He isn't a way to check in on them, and there's no summary or report coming back to you. What they tell him stays between them. That's not a limitation we're apologizing for — it's the reason it works.

"My grandfather, Arthur, was the kind of man who showed up. He was helpful, kind, and handy — always there when you needed him. When it came time to name this, Arthur was the only choice."

— Dan, Founder

We're building the companion that genuinely shows up — one that remembers you, understands what you need, and helps you stay independent on your own terms.

Ready when you are.

We're welcoming a small group of first callers. If that's you, or someone you love, we'd be glad to have you.
