Frequently asked questions
Getting started
Which role should I choose?
You choose a role when you create your account. Pick the one that describes you:
- Guardian — you're coordinating care for a loved one. You create the care plan and build the family circle around them.
- Family Caregiver — you help care for a loved one. You follow their care plan, log tasks and medications, and stay in touch with the family circle.
- Professional Caregiver — you provide care services to families. You apply when you sign up, then manage your visits, schedule, and availability.
- Care Recipient — you're the person receiving care. You can keep your own care plan, track your medications, and keep your loved ones informed.
Can I change my role later?
Each account has one role, and it can't be changed in the app. If you picked the wrong role, email support@vytier.com from the address on your account and we'll help.
Where can I use Vytier?
Vytier works on iPhone, on Android, and in your web browser at app.vytier.com. You sign in with the same account everywhere. A few features need the phone app: signing in with Face ID or fingerprint, push notifications, and connecting a wearable.
Which languages does the app support?
English, Español (Spanish), हिंदी (Hindi), தமிழ் (Tamil), and తెలుగు (Telugu). You choose a language the first time you open the app, and can change it anytime under Profile → App Settings → Language. A few screens are still shown in English only.
Your account & signing in
I forgot my password. How do I reset it?
On the sign-in screen, tap Forgot Password?, enter your email, and tap Send Verification Code. Enter the 6-digit code we email you, then choose a new password and tap Update Password.
I didn't get my verification code.
Check your spam or junk folder, and make sure you entered the right email address. If it still hasn't arrived after a minute, tap Resend OTP on the code screen.
How do I change my password?
Go to Profile → Account → Change Password.
Can I sign in with Face ID or my fingerprint?
Yes, in the iPhone and Android apps. Tick Remember Me when you sign in, then tap Enable when the app asks to turn on biometric login. Next time, tap Sign in with Biometrics.
Your family circle
How do I add a Care Recipient?
As a Guardian, open the Recipients tab and tap +. Enter their email and tap Invite to send them an invitation. If they don't use email, tap Add Manually and fill in their details yourself.
How do I invite a Family Caregiver or Professional Caregiver into the family circle?
As a Guardian, open the Recipients tab, tap ⋯ next to your Care Recipient, and choose Manage Careteam. Then tap Invite Family Caregiver or Invite Caregiver and search by their email address. If they don't have a Vytier account yet, the app offers to invite them to join.
I was invited to a family circle. How do I accept?
Sign in to Vytier with the email address the invitation was sent to. If you don't have an account yet, sign up with that address first. On your home screen, open Pending Invitations and tap Accept or Reject. The invitation email itself doesn't have accept buttons.
How do I remove a Care Recipient?
In the Recipients tab, tap ⋯ next to them and choose Remove from caseload. You can remove them from your list only, or also cancel their care plan.
Care plans, tasks & messages
How is a care plan created?
A Guardian answers a short care assessment about the Care Recipient, reviews the suggested plan, adds any tasks, and taps Confirm Care Plan. A Care Recipient can do the same for their own care. To change it later, tap ⋯ and choose Edit Care Plan.
How do I mark a task or medication as done?
Tap a task to check it off. Only the person who completed a task can uncheck it. For medications, open Manage Medications and tap Mark taken or Skip for each dose.
How do I book an appointment or visit?
Open the Calendar, tap Book Appointment, choose a time, and tap Confirm Booking. A visit with a Professional Caregiver shows as Pending Approval until they accept it from their Schedule.
How do I message my family circle?
Open the Messages tab. You can message people one-to-one, and each family circle also has a group conversation. Messages arrive in real time.
For Professional Caregivers
How do I clock in and out of a visit?
From your dashboard, tap Start Visit, then Clock In. During the shift you can complete care tasks and tap Add Care Note. When you're finished, tap Clock Out.
How do I set my availability or time off?
From your dashboard, tap Set Availability and then Add Available Hours. To block out days you can't work, open Personal TimeOff and tap Add PTO.
Health data & wearables
Can I connect a smartwatch or fitness tracker?
Yes. A Care Recipient can connect a wearable in the iPhone or Android app, through Apple Health on iPhone or Health Connect on Android. Any device that shares data with those, such as Apple Watch, Fitbit, Garmin, Galaxy Watch, or Oura, can sync its readings automatically. Others in the family circle can then see those vitals. Wearables can't be connected from the web app.
How do I turn notifications on or off?
The iPhone and Android apps send push notifications after you sign in. To turn them on or off, use your phone's settings for the Vytier app.
Privacy & your account
How do I delete my account or get a copy of my data?
