Connected where it's useful.
The first Max is being built around home Wi-Fi. Mobile connectivity and location are planned for when the walker leaves home. If Max is offline, the app should say so plainly — not pretend everything is fine.
Keep your walker. Add Max.
Your walker,
made smarter.
Max is a connected companion designed for the walker you already own. Find it around the house with one big button — or just call his name.
Prototype in development. Built around a real walker in a real home.
Finding a walker shouldn't be a project.
Max started with a simple problem: Dad leaves his walker somewhere in the house, then has to work out where it went. Phones can already help us find keys, bags and other things we misplace. A walker has room for something much more useful.
So the first job is deliberately boring: make the walker easy to find. Everything else has to earn its place after that.
One big button. That's the point.
Open Max on your phone and tap FIND MAX. The walker flashes and plays a clear locator sound. When you've found it, tap STOP. No map-reading. No menus. No hunting through settings.
MAX
Try the concept control. No walker is connected.
Or don't open the phone.
Max is being designed so the obvious things can be said naturally. Ask where he is and he can answer, flash and make some noise. Push-to-talk and the big phone button stay there when voice isn't the right answer.
“Max, where are ya?”“Over here.”
Keep the walker you already trust.
Max isn't a new walker. He attaches to, clips onto or sits with the walker you already use. You keep the fit, feel and routine you already know. Max adds the useful bits around it.
No replacement walker required.
Simple for the owner. Useful for family.
The everyday controls stay deliberately small. Behind them, we're building remote support so authorised family can check whether Max is online, see what went wrong and help without turning every small problem into a house call.
The owner uses Max. The complicated bits stay out of the way.
More than a locator — where that's actually useful.
Once finding the walker and talking to Max are reliable, the same interface can handle useful extras such as reminders, simple questions and the people that matter to you. The rule is simple: if a feature makes Max harder to use, it doesn't belong.

This concept ad shows the experience we're building: keep the walker you already own, find Max with one button, or just call his name. The hardware shown is illustrative while the real prototype is being tested.
MAX concept — Your walker, made smarter.
Max is currently being prototyped. The concept images and video show the experience we're building; final hardware and availability may change as we test it in real use.
Who is Max for?
For someone who wants to find their walker without fuss.
For family who want to help without hovering.
For anyone who thinks accessible technology should mean fewer steps, not more settings.
Questions worth asking.
What is Max?
Max is a connected companion designed to attach to or sit with the walker you already own. The first job is making the walker easy to find. From there, we’re building simple voice interaction, connectivity and remote support around the same device.
Do I need to buy a new walker?
No. That’s the point. Max is being designed to work with an existing walker rather than replacing it.
How does Find Max work inside the house?
The useful indoor answer is simple: make the walker obvious. Max can flash and play a locator sound so you can follow it. We don’t need to pretend GPS can tell you which room it’s in.
Can I just talk to Max?
That’s the direction we’re building towards. The goal is to make simple requests such as “Max, where are ya?” feel natural, while keeping a large phone button and push-to-talk as reliable fallbacks.
Does Max work away from home?
The first prototype is focused on home Wi-Fi. Mobile connectivity and location are planned for away-from-home use once the core home experience is reliable.
What is Max’s regulatory status?
Max is an early prototype and no final regulatory classification has been made. It is not currently being offered as a fall detector, health monitor or emergency-response system.
Is Max available to buy now?
Not yet. Max is currently being prototyped and tested. Join the waitlist if you’d like to follow development, help test it or hear when availability becomes clearer.
Is Max just an AirTag for a walker?
No. AirTag is very good at tracking an object. Max is being built so the walker itself can be connected, loud, visible, conversational and remotely supportable.
Interested in Max?
We're building the first Max around a real walker in a real house. Join the waitlist if you'd like to follow the project, test an early unit or hear when Max becomes available.
