Hi Mum, we're coming for lunch on Sunday!
Everything that matters, in large print. Nothing else.
FA6LIT does not replace your apps: it puts them within finger's reach, in words everyone understands.
Big cards, nothing else
Call, Messages, Contacts, Gallery, Weather… Each card has its own colour and word, written large. No tiny icons, no hidden menus. Keep your finger on a card and slide it: the most useful ones move to the top.
Talk to the phone
Tap the yellow button and say "Call Mary", "Read my messages" or "What time is it?". The phone makes the call or answers out loud.
Messages come to you
A text or a WhatsApp message arrives: it shows up large on the home screen. "Listen" reads it aloud, "Reply" answers without hunting for the app. New emails and missed calls are counted on their card.
No more getting lost
The Home button always brings you back to the same screen, even after a restart. Here, you cannot break anything.
Help is on the screen
The Help card shows every button and says what it does, in one sentence. Just tap the line to open it.
The call fills the screen
When the phone rings, FA6LIT takes over the screen: the name in large letters, a big green button to answer, a smaller red one to decline. Nothing else to look for.
A voice assistant, with nothing to learn
Tap the big yellow "Speak" button and simply say what you want. FA6LIT understands everyday sentences and answers out loud.
- "Call Mary"Says "Calling Mary", gives three seconds to cancel, then calls. Add "on speaker" to talk without holding the phone, or "on WhatsApp" for a WhatsApp call.
- "Send a message to Mary"Opens FA6LIT's own writing screen for Mary: a big Dictate button, Read back aloud, then Send. Nothing goes out without that tap.
- "Write an email to Mary"Opens a new email to Mary: you write it (or dictate with the keyboard microphone), then tap Send.
- "Wake me up at 7"Sets the phone's alarm for that time.
- "Read my messages"Reads your new texts and WhatsApp messages aloud: who is writing, and what they say.
- "Read my emails"For new emails: says who wrote to you, and how the email begins.
- "Who called me?"Says who tried to call you, as long as the missed call is still shown on the phone.
- "What time is it?"Tells the time; "battery" says how much is left.
- "Open Facebook"Opens any app on the phone by its name: Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, the bank…
- "The weather"Opens the card you ask for: gallery, alarm, internet… And "I'm lost" opens Help.
To read messages, emails and missed calls, FA6LIT needs notification access, allowed once. To reply, the Dictate button writes down what you say — you read it back, then you send.
For people who don't like phones. And for the people who help them.
An ordinary Android phone that becomes simple, without buying a new phone.
Seniors
Calling, seeing family photos, reading messages, without fighting the phone. FA6LIT gives exactly that.
People who hate smartphones
Too many icons, menus and updates? Here it's one word per card, large print, and messages read aloud.
A first smartphone
No jargon: "Internet", "Alarm", "Gallery". And always a way back.
You, setting it up
A few minutes to set everything up, and far fewer "the screen changed, I broke everything" calls.
And for their safety: SOSBY
FA6LIT makes the phone simple. SOSBY, from the same publisher, looks out for the person: after a fall, a faint or in danger, their loved ones are alerted straight away.
Already on the home screen
The red SOSBY card sits on FA6LIT's home screen: one tap opens SOSBY, or introduces it if it isn't installed yet.
Seven presses, loved ones alerted
Seven presses on the power button, even with the phone in a pocket: loved ones get the location, photos and sound, and it rings at their end even on silent.
Falls detected
If the person falls and doesn't get up, a 30-second countdown lets them cancel, then the alert goes out by itself.
SOSBY is a separate app, with its own 15-day free trial and then a subscription.
What's on the phone stays on the phone
FA6LIT reads messages to show them in large print. It doesn't keep them, and doesn't send them anywhere.
No account
No name, email address or phone number to give.
No ads, no trackers
No analytics, no profiling, and no cookies on this website.
As few permissions as possible
No microphone for the app, no precise location, no call log. Your texts are read on the phone because FA6LIT becomes your Messages app: they never leave it.
What you're probably thinking
"Mum will never manage."
It's made for her: one word per card, one gesture per action, and a button that always takes you back to the start.
"What if he taps anywhere?"
The home screen comes back with one tap. And FA6LIT only calls when asked: it says the name and gives three seconds to cancel.
"Another subscription…"
No. Fifteen days to try it, then a single purchase. Nothing to cancel.
A few minutes, once and for all
Install FA6LIT
From Google Play, on the person's phone. It becomes the home screen.
Set up the essentials
Allow messages to be shown, arrange the cards in the right order.
Hand the phone back
From then on, just tap a card, or speak.
Fifteen days to try it, one purchase to keep it
Everything is open for fifteen days, with no bank card. After that, a one-time purchase on Google Play unlocks FA6LIT for good: no subscription, nothing to cancel. And even without a purchase, the phone can still make calls.
FA6LIT makes the phone simpler, but nobody is watching behind the app. In an emergency, call 112 (911 in the US).
