GrammyFone
Big photo buttons
A face to tap instead of a name to find. Phone call, FaceTime video or FaceTime audio, per person.
For parents and grandparents
Big buttons for the people they love.
GrammyFone turns an iPhone into a calm, big-button phone: a large photo for everyone they call, and one red Emergency button. You set it up from your own phone, and keep it up to date from anywhere.
Free to download. GrammyFone Family is a one-time purchase, shared with your Family Sharing group.
Set it up once, from your phone.
No fiddling with settings on their phone during a visit. You pick the people and photos; GrammyFone sends it over.
On your phone
- Add the people they callChoose from your contacts or type them in, add a clear face photo, and sort them into Family and Friends.
- Send it to their phoneShow them the QR code on your screen, or print a page with the codes and the instructions already on it.
- Change it whenever you likeA new number or a new grandchild? Change it on your phone and theirs follows. You never have to touch their phone again.
On their phone
- Point the camera at the codeNo app to search for, nothing to type. The camera does the rest.
- Tap “Yes, this is my phone”GrammyFone asks whose phone this is, and they tap the green button that says it. The big faces appear. Done — nothing else to do.
No account, no password, nothing to remember. Their iPhone just needs to be signed in to iCloud.
Made for shaky hands and tired eyes.
Everything is large, high-contrast and one tap away, with a gentle confirmation so nobody calls by accident.
Extensions dial themselves
A care home or a surgery switchboard often needs an extension. Add it to the number and GrammyFone waits, then dials it — nothing for them to key in.
Emergency, with location
One button calls the emergency number and alerts the family with where they are. It can dial an extension too.
Widgets
Put a loved one's photo on the Home Screen or Lock Screen and call with one tap.
Remote updates
Several family members can help manage the same phone, each from their own iPhone.
Readable everywhere
Follows the text size and dark mode settings, with extra large layouts for the largest sizes.
Private
No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Contacts sync through your own iCloud, not our servers.
One purchase. The whole family.
Free: set a phone up by hand, with up to four people — your own phone, or theirs while you have it.
GrammyFone Family is what you buy to do it over iCloud instead: set their phone up from yours, and add or change people afterwards without ever touching it again. One purchase, shared with your Family Sharing group. No subscription.
