A private way to wrap a circle of people around someone going through something hard.
We'll only email when there's news.
The gap
When someone you love is struggling, you want to help. You send a text. You drop off a meal. You wait, and you hope it lands.
Meanwhile, they are tired. They don't have the energy to ask. They don't always have the energy to receive. But they do have the energy — sometimes, in flickers — to look at a face. To hear a voice. To remember they are not alone.
There is a gap between the people who want to help and the person who needs it. The gap is not love. The gap is mechanism.
Carry is for the gap.
A circle, in a pocket
12 videos are waiting.
There's no rush.

How it works
You record a short video for the people who love them. You explain what's going on. You add their phone numbers. We handle the rest.
Each person gets a text. They tap the link. They record sixty seconds in their browser. No app to download. No account to create. They say what they'd say if they were sitting with them.
Your friend gets a quiet feed of faces. She watches them in line at the pharmacy. At 2am. On the bad Tuesday. Whenever the weight is heaviest.
What Carry promises
No streaks. No re-engagement pings. Watch one. Watch all of them. Watch the same one ten times. There is no wrong way to receive.
No one is asked to be peppy. No one is asked to solve anything. Showing up is the whole point.
The design is calm, not motivational. The notifications are gentle. The videos themselves do the work.
A Carry is a closed circle. Videos are never indexed, never shared, never used to train models. They disappear after seven days unless you save them yourself.
What Carry isn't
Carry refuses to be loud, performative, or impatient. The list of what we won't be is shorter than the list of what we are — and more important.
Not crisis support. If someone is in danger, please call 988.
Not therapy. We don't offer advice or strategies. We offer faces.
Not a birthday montage. Tribute and Memento are wonderful for those.
Not social media. There is no public anything. No followers. No feed of strangers.
Not AI. Every face is a real person who knows them.
Carry is for the people who get carried, and the people who carry. Both have it harder than they should.
