Invite only · June 2026

I'm building something for our families. Want in?

You're here because I shared this with you personally. Read on to learn what Daily Howdy is, and sign up at the bottom if you'd like to be one of our first testers.

What we're building

A 2-minute daily game that connects you with your parent.

Every morning, you and your parent play the same quick games — word challenges, memory puzzles, and a shared trivia question. Compare answers. Share a mood. It's fun for them. It's peace of mind for you.

The daily game

Two quick games and a trivia question, drawn from a rotating library of 14 game types. New theme every day.

The connection

Play the same games, then compare answers side by side. Share a mood and leave each other a note.

The signal

Over time, a private trend dashboard reveals patterns that a phone call never will — quietly and without clinical language.

How the beta works

Three steps to get started.

1

Sign up below

Drop your name and email at the bottom of this page. I'll send you a personal invite when the beta is ready.

2

Get your invite

You'll receive an email with a link to create your account — no payment, no credit card. Then invite your parent.

3

Play together

Each morning, you both get the same games. Play whenever it's convenient — it takes about 2 minutes.

What's included

Full access. On us.

As a beta participant, you get everything — the same features we'll charge for at launch. No limits, no expiration.

All 14 game types

Word games, memory challenges, pattern puzzles — a different pair every day.

Private trend dashboard

See patterns emerge over weeks and months. Only you see this — never your parent.

Missed-day alerts

Get a gentle nudge if your parent misses a day, so you can check in.

Family management

Up to 4 family members can connect with the same parent.

Daily mood & notes

Share how you're feeling and leave each other a message every day.

Free — no payment ever

The beta is on us. No credit card, no trial expiration, no strings.

Why I'm asking for your help.

I've been building Daily Howdy for the past year because I wanted a better way to stay connected with my own aging parent. Not surveillance. Not a medical device. Just a small daily ritual that's fun for her and meaningful for me.

I'm inviting you because I trust you. I need real families using this every day — not filling out surveys, not writing reports. Just playing the games. Your daily use is the feedback. If something feels off, I want to hear about it. If your parent stops wanting to play, that tells me something too.

There's no in-app feedback tool. I'll check in with you personally over the coming weeks. If you have a thought, just text me or reply to any email. That's how this works — it's a conversation, not a test.

What to expect

A few things to know before you start.

It's early

You might hit rough edges. Things may look unfinished or behave unexpectedly. That's why you're here — to help us find those things.

It's real

This is the actual production app, not a prototype. Your data is real and will carry forward. Nothing you do here is throwaway.

It's private

Your game data is yours. We don't sell it, we don't share it, and your parent never sees scores or trends. Same privacy protections as launch.

Bill will check in

Expect a personal message from me every week or two. I want to know how it's going — the good and the bad.
