Nora

A Last Bench venture

Technology that remembers with you.

The problem: Families supporting someone with memory difficulties are often left choosing between a clinical device and a generic assistant that has no sense of their routines or the people who matter to them.
What it’s building: A calm, voice-first companion woven into daily life — reminders, routine and family connection — with anything location-based strictly opt-in.
Key concept: Everyday, human technology rather than a clinical product — Nora is upfront about what it is and isn't.

In more detail

Nora is a warm, voice-first companion built for everyday family life — for people who experience memory difficulties (including but not limited to early dementia) and for the people around them. It helps with everyday reminders, routines and appointments, remembering family and familiar faces, opt-in help finding the way home, opt-in family coordination, and emergency contacts. Nora is currently in development; meinnora.de presents it as an early-access signup ("Nora kommt bald") and is upfront that several features are still "in Entwicklung."

Important

Nora does not replace human memory, medical care, professional supervision or emergency services, and does not guarantee safety. It is not a medical product, holds no medical-device approval, and currently has no GDPR or ISO certification. Location features are opt-in only.
