A local-only toolkit for family caregivers. It turns the recordings, emails and letters on your own phone into an indexed, checksummed, searchable record. With that record you can ask care agencies precise questions in writing, and show how each answer was found.
It was built by one caregiver, between shifts, with AI coding assistants writing the code and every recording staying on local hardware.
What is in this repo: code, config templates, pages and aggregate numbers only.
What never is: recordings, transcripts, names, addresses, case details, or anyone's health information. See docs/PRIVACY.md.
THE ALERT GAP · caregiver field guide (new)
If your agency's only alert sign-up is a paper form that asks for your phone company, its text alerts may never arrive. Carriers have shut off their email-to-text gateways; AT&T's went dark June 17, 2025. Shifts can sit at "ready", unpaid, with no notice.
The one-page field guide covers five questions to ask your agency in writing, what you can do today, what agencies can fix, and how to audit your agency's PDFs with scripts/pape/pape_a11y_audit.py. One fiscal agent's 16 portal PDFs: 0 passed PDF/UA-1. It also explains why transcribing your own calls is not a lie detector.

Latest · v0.9.4.1 · icons and heroes (2026-11-13)
- Both v0.9.3 and v0.9.4 animations are now plain SVG files (
site/data-finger-point.svg, site/turbo.svg, no scripts),
so they play here in the README and on the home page. Made by scripts/site/make_hero_svgs.py.
- App icons for phone-net-ICKS, in-doc-trin-8-piece and S.O.R.T.Y. (S.O.R.T.Y. release soon).
- Version, badge and page footers to v0.9.4.1. No code change to the pull scripts.
v0.9.4 · T.U.R.B.O. edition (2026-11-13)
T.U.R.B.O. Tethered USB Rapid Bulk Offload.
- Wi-Fi to USB-C handoff: a phone pull starts over Wi-Fi; before every file
scripts/wifi/pnet_wifi_pull.sh checks for the
USB-C cable, and the moment the phone is plugged in the rest of the pull moves to the cable. Unplug it and the pull goes
back to Wi-Fi, finding the phone's new Wi-Fi port on its own. A run can also start on the cable alone.
- Speed you can see: every log line and the phone's progress page show the mode with this file's speed and the run's
average:
new files 33/476 (⚡ T.U.R.B.O. · USB-C · 40.8 MB/s now · 36.9 MB/s avg). Measured 2026-11-13: about 40 MB/s
on the cable (13-42 MB/s per file; small files are slower) against 17-18 MB/s over Wi-Fi.
- Animated explainer:

v0.9.3 · D.A.T.A. F.I.N.G.E.R. P.O.I.N.T. edition (2026-11-13)

A data fingerprint is a file's SHA-256 hash, so any change shows. A finger point is the record's plain job: point at the exact minute, file and line where what was said, written, authorized and paid stop matching.
