Blyzko Start for free

Every morning, you know that all is well at home

You’re in Warsaw or Berlin. Mum, dad or grandma stayed at home. Every morning the Blyzko bot asks them how they are and shows the answer to the whole family. No reply? You’ll be the first to know.

Eurostat, August 2026. People who left for work or study aren’t counted here.

Parents often stay behind, somewhere far away. They don’t want to leave the flat and the streets they grew up on, where they know every face. Some simply can’t picture starting a new life in a foreign country at seventy. And now there’s a border and a thousand kilometres between you.

You call in the evening and write in the family chat. After a siren you wait for a short “all OK”. Sometimes you wait half a day, because mum’s phone is on silent and the power only came back around lunchtime.

I know each of you cares as much as you can, as far as a busy life allows. But loved ones rarely write first, so as not to bother you, and not everyone can call every hour, or even every day.

Right now it all hangs on the family chat

Who got through to mum after the siren, where her passport is, who sent how much for her medicines. It’s all somewhere in the chat, between photos of the grandchildren and stickers. And when you need something urgently, you can’t find a thing.

This is what an ordinary family chat looks like

In Blyzko, none of this gets lost

  • “Did anyone get through?” In the morning the bot asks mum how she is. If she doesn’t answer, you’re the first to know.
  • “Where’s her passport?” Document numbers and doctors’ phone numbers are on everyone’s phone.
  • “How much should I send?” Blyzko sees who has already put in how much, in money and in time, and suggests how to share the care fairly. In euros, zloty or hryvnias.

How to start

  1. Create your family

    Enter mum’s name, the country she lives in and the time to message her. It takes a minute.

  2. Send her a link

    Mum opens it in Telegram and taps “Yes, message me”. That’s all she needs to do.

  3. Invite your brother and sister

    Also with a link. Everyone sees the same thing you do, wherever they live.

The next morning you’ll see your first green tick.

A day with Blyzko

This is how it looks in Telegram, on mum’s phone and on yours. These are the bot’s real messages, translated from Ukrainian. Tap any moment of the day.

In the morning, you know all is well

At a time that suits mum, the bot sends the question “How are you today?” with two big buttons.

  • She tapped “I’m fine”: you get a green tick.
  • She didn’t answer: half an hour later the bot asks again. Still silence? We message the whole family, and then the neighbour.
  • She tapped “I need help”: everyone knows straight away. Whoever answers “I’ll handle it” first is shown to the others, so three people don’t all call at once. And with one button mum can send her location right in the bot, so you see on a map where she is.
  • She’s staying with her sister or she’s in hospital: pause the bot with one tap. It won’t bother her while everyone already knows she’s fine.

Sharing the cost of care without awkward conversations

One of you lives nearby and drives mum to the doctor. Another lives far away and helps with money. Blyzko sees both: purchases, transfers, hours of help. You can see at a glance who has put in how much for mum, and there’s nothing to chase up in the chat.

  • Time counts as care too. Half a day queuing at the doctor’s matters as much as a bank transfer.
  • Your brother pays in zloty, you pay in euros, your sister buys medicines in hryvnias. Blyzko converts it all at the National Bank of Ukraine rate.
  • If someone has put in more, Blyzko suggests who should send how much to whom, so the care is shared equally, and nobody has to say “you owe me”.

Medicines, doctors and documents on everyone’s phone

Even if you live in another country. And Blyzko reminds everyone about tablets and appointments.

  • Mum gets a reminder about her tablet in the chat. Everyone sees when she ticks it off.
  • The whole family sees doctor’s appointments. It’s clear straight away who’s driving her.
  • A card for the doctor: allergies, diagnoses, what she takes. You can show it right there in the consulting room.
  • Forward a discharge letter or a photo of test results to the bot, and it lands in everyone’s folder, encrypted with the family key.
Folder (Ukrainian version): a card for the doctor with allergies and diagnoses, and mum’s documents

Only your family can see mum’s documents. Not even we can

Passport, tax number, discharge letters and photos of test results are encrypted with your family’s key: numbers while still on the phone, files from the bot as soon as they arrive. What sits on the server is a jumble of characters, and the key to it is held only by you and your relatives. A file you forward to the bot passes through Telegram and stays in your chat with the bot, where you can delete it.

Only the family has the key
Relatives get it along with their invitation. We don’t have the key, so nobody can read the documents: not us, not someone who hacks the server, not anyone who comes asking.
A new phone opens the documents only with the family’s permission
Bought a new phone and signed in to Blyzko on it? At first you won’t see the documents there, just a lock. Tap “Ask the family for access” (in the app: «Запросити доступ у родини»): four digits appear on your screen, and one of your relatives gets a request with the same digits. If they match, your relative taps “Confirm” and the documents open. That way a stranger can’t open them, even if they somehow get into the app.
A lock on the folder
Documents can be opened with your face, fingerprint or phone passcode. If someone picks up your phone, the folder stays locked.
They open without internet
In hospital the signal often drops just when you need a discharge letter. With the lock turned on, documents are stored on the phone, also encrypted, and open without a connection. Only with your face, fingerprint or phone passcode.
The family code on paper
It’s worth writing it down and keeping it with your documents. If every phone in the family is lost, only this code can open the folder: even we can’t recover the key, and that’s by design.

No App Store. An icon and notifications in a minute

Blyzko is a web app: there’s nothing to download or update. Add it to your Home Screen and it opens like any other app, with its own icon and alert notifications.

  6. Most important: turn on notifications
  14. Most important: turn on notifications

This is Safari on iOS 26. On iPhones with iOS 18 or earlier, the “Share” button sits right at the bottom of the screen, and the rest is the same. Notifications work from iOS 16.4 onwards.

This is Chrome. The menu item is worded slightly differently in different versions, so look for “Install” or “Home screen”. In Samsung Internet, tap the menu button at the bottom, then “Add page to” and “Home screen”.

Without this step, alerts only reach you in Telegram. With it, Blyzko itself will ring your phone, even when the app is closed. Turn on notifications on every phone that has Blyzko.

An SOS button on mum’s home screen

One tap, and the whole family knows mum needs help and can see where she is. She doesn’t need Telegram for it.

  7. If mum feels unwell
  15. If mum feels unwell

This is Safari on iOS 26. On iOS 18 and earlier, “Share” sits right at the bottom of the screen, and the rest is the same.

This is Chrome. In newer versions the item may be called “Install app”.

Back Tap works on iPhone 8 and later. You can also put the same shortcut on the Action button or say “Hey Siri, SOS Blyzko”.

Calling an ambulance: one tap, and the phone offers to dial the number.

Test it together with mum and warn the family first: the icon raises a real alert. Tap it, then “Cancel, it was an accident” («Скасувати, це випадково»).

What changes with Blyzko

Now

  • You call every evening and don’t always get through
  • After a night-time siren you stare at the family chat for hours
  • One person remembers everything: tablets, doctors, where the passport is
  • You keep track of who put in how much in your head, in three currencies, and say nothing so as not to offend anyone

With Blyzko

  • Mum’s answer arrives by itself in the morning. You call when you feel like talking
  • If something’s wrong, everyone knows at once, and you can see who’s already dialling her number
  • Tablets, doctors and documents are on everyone’s phone
  • Blyzko sees what everyone contributes and suggests how to even it out

And you stop being the family dispatcher who keeps everything in their head.

Who Blyzko is for

Mum or dad living alone

The most common case: knowing in the morning that all is well, without the “so how are you doing” call.

Grandma and grandad

Grandchildren can keep an eye on them too. They’re often the best with phones anyway.

Loved ones after hospital or with a long-term illness

Tablets on time, doctor’s visits, discharge letters in one folder.

A neighbour or carer nearby

They join for free, with a separate “helper” link. They see alerts, medicines and how to reach mum. You decide what else to show them, and they never see the family’s money.

Who makes Blyzko

My name is Maxim. I’m Ukrainian, I live in Germany and I run maxim:reply, a YouTube channel about mindfulness. I often say there that life can’t be put off until later. Yet a call home is the thing we put off most, usually with an “I’ll ring her tonight”.

Blyzko won’t replace that call. It’s there so that by morning you already know all is well at home, and you can ring mum just to talk.

What Blyzko doesn’t do

It doesn’t touch your money
You make transfers in your own bank. Blyzko just keeps an honest count of who put in how much.
It doesn’t dig into medical records or Diia
The folder only holds what you’ve forwarded to the bot or entered yourself. We don’t need your Diia passwords.
It doesn’t sell data or show ads
Data is stored encrypted on a server in Germany, under EU data protection rules. Documents are encrypted with a key that only your family has.
It doesn’t replace an ambulance
Blyzko helps you notice in time that something’s wrong. In an emergency, call 103 in Ukraine or 112 in the EU.

The first month is on us

Use Blyzko free for a whole month, no card needed. By then you’ll know whether mum has got used to answering and whether you feel calmer.

After that, one subscription covers the whole family. One person pays, everyone uses it: brother, sister, grandchildren, the neighbour.

Yearly

€55 a year

One month free: that’s less than €4.60 a month.

Monthly

€5 a month

Cancel any time, right in the app.

The first 333 families pay €5 a month or €55 a year. After that, it’s €7 a month or €77 a year.

Coming soon

For a push-button phone: a morning call in a family member’s voice

Every morning Blyzko calls mum, and she hears her daughter’s or grandson’s voice: “Morning, mum, it’s Anya. If you’re fine, press one.” She doesn’t need a smartphone or internet. It works on any phone in Ukraine and across Europe.

Didn’t pick up? Half an hour later Blyzko calls again, and then messages the whole family. The children still have the same app: medicines, doctors, documents, shared costs.

€22 a month or €222 a year, calls to any country included. First week free.

Cheaper than a personal alarm, and no devices needed. It costs more than the standard subscription because we pay the phone operator for every call.

I want calls for mum

What’s included

  • A morning question for mum, and an alert to the family if she doesn’t answer
  • The “I need help” button, the “I’ll handle it” reply, and a quick way to send her location if she’s in danger
  • Medicine reminders and doctor’s appointments
  • Shared costs: family expenses in any currency, plus hours of help
  • A document folder and a card for the doctor
  • Up to 12 people in one family, including a neighbour or carer. No extra charge for them

Help if something doesn’t work

We’ll help you set mum up

Stuck on a step? Tap “Message us” in Telegram or email support@blyzko.app, and we’ll walk you through it. Ten minutes is usually enough.

Our promise

If it’s not right for you during the free month, you don’t pay. We don’t even ask for a card, so there’s nothing to charge.

You can cancel your subscription right in the app: “Family” → “Subscription” → “Cancel subscription” («Родина» → «Підписка» → «Скасувати підписку»). No calls and no talking you round.

If mum doesn’t answer the bot even once in the first 30 days of your subscription, we’ll refund you. Just write to us at support@blyzko.app.

14 days to change your mind. Withdraw during that time and we’ll refund the days you didn’t use. Details in the terms.

The “I need help” button always works, even without a subscription. Stopped paying? The bot no longer messages mum in the morning, but if she feels unwell, the family will still know straight away. A family’s data is kept for a year without a subscription.

The first 333 families pay €5, and their price won’t go up as long as the subscription isn’t interrupted for more than a week. For those who join later, it’s €7.

Questions

Mum isn’t good with phones. Will she manage?

She needs to tap one button under a message. For the first families, we call mum ourselves and help her do it. For people with a push-button phone, we’re preparing a call: mum hears a recorded message in her daughter’s or grandson’s voice and presses 1.

Can she call for help without opening the bot?

Yes. Put a red SOS icon on mum’s home screen: one tap, and the whole family gets the alert and her location on a map, just like after “I need help” in the bot. Works on iPhone and Android, no App Store needed. On iPhone she can also trigger SOS with a double tap on the back of the phone.

What if she’s just asleep or popped out to the shop?

That’s why we don’t raise the alarm straight away. First comes a repeat message half an hour later. We only write to the family after a little over an hour. You choose the time of the morning message yourself, to fit mum’s routine.

My brother won’t want to use it

You can start on your own. Expenses and hours of help are recorded the same way. When you want to show your brother how much has already been spent, send him a link. Numbers usually convince people better than talking does.

Mum lives in a different time zone

The message arrives at her local time. You enter the country mum lives in, and Blyzko takes the time difference into account, even if you’re in Berlin and she’s in Dnipro.

What if mum’s power or internet is cut off?

The message gets through as soon as she has a connection again. If there are scheduled power cuts in her town, set the morning message for a time when the power is usually on. And if mum has gone to stay with relatives or is in hospital, turn on the pause, and Blyzko won’t raise the alarm for nothing.

Who sees mum’s documents and medicines?

Only the people you’ve invited. A neighbour or carer gets their own separate link and sees alerts, medicines, where mum is during an alert and how to reach her. You can open up her doctor card, doctors, visits, tasks or documents to them yourself with tick boxes, and close them again at any time. The documents themselves are encrypted with the family key, and we can’t read them. Helpers never see the family’s money. An invitation link works for a week, and you can replace it with a new one at any time.

Mum uses Viber or WhatsApp, not Telegram

For now the bot works in Telegram: many parents already had it installed by their children, and it takes a few minutes. We’ll add WhatsApp in the coming months, with Viber after that. Message us on Telegram and tell us which messenger your family uses: it helps us decide what to build first.

How safe is it?

Family data is stored encrypted on a server in Germany. Documents are encrypted with a key that only your family has: not even we can open them. We don’t have passwords; sign-in is tied to your phone. Only the people you’ve invited can see anything. Even with an invitation link, a new person gets into the family only after one of your relatives taps “Let in”. A neighbour or carer never sees money, and sees documents only if you open them up yourself. You can replace an invitation link with a new one at any time. The full list of services your data passes through is on the Data page.

Do I need to download it from the App Store?

No. Blyzko opens in the browser and goes on your phone’s home screen like a normal app: here’s how on iPhone and Android. Mum only needs Telegram.

Is the app in English?

Not yet. The app and the Telegram bot currently speak Ukrainian and Russian, which is why the screenshots on this page are from the Ukrainian version. English is coming.
