Go into «My plan» workspace_premium and you’ll see written which one you have right now: Free, Plus or Pro. If you tap it, the app opens a screen where you can compare them side by side (what each one includes) and, if you’re interested, upgrade the plan. There’s no harm in going in to look: viewing the plans doesn’t sign you up for anything; you’re only charged if you confirm the change.

Notifications are the alerts CarePilot sends to your phone so nothing important slips past you (a pill is due, someone has passed you the turn…). Here you’re in charge: each type of alert has its own switch, so you turn on the ones that help you and turn off the ones you’d rather not receive. If it feels like too many are coming through, this is the place to quiet them down.

• Missed doses, appointments or tasks notification_important — alerts you when something has gone past its time without being marked, for example «the 9 o’clock pill still hasn’t been given».
• Turn changes swap_horiz — alerts you when another person in the group passes you the handover and now it’s your time to keep watch.
• Weekly summary notifications — a single alert every Monday with the summary of how the previous week went, to start the week with the full picture. This alert is the organizer’s business: the switch only appears if you organize a group, because that’s who it goes to. The other members can check the report whenever they like from the Group tab.
• Spending alerts insights — automatic alerts if expenses are shooting up more than usual (available on the Pro plan).

• «Language» language — CarePilot speaks 6 languages; here you choose which one you want the whole app in, in case another language is easier for you to read.
• «Currency» payments — the currency the care expenses are recorded in (€, $…). Every new group you create will be born with the one you have set here; existing groups keep theirs. It’s covered calmly in the Expenses guide.
• «Default time» schedule — the time the app proposes already set when you create a new medication, to save you touching it every time. If most doses are, say, «at 9 in the morning», leave it there and you’ll only change it in the odd case.
• «Schedule» view_agenda — decides how the cards look on the Today screen: Compact (more fits at a glance) or Expanded (they show bigger and with more detail). Choose whichever your eyesight appreciates more.
• «Vibrate on tap» vibration — that little tremor you feel when pressing buttons. If it bothers you, switch it off here; if you like feeling that «the tap landed», leave it on.

In «Theme» palette you choose among 10 different themes. Some are free and others come with the paid plans:

• Light, Dark and Auto — free for everyone. Auto is convenient: the app goes light by day and dark by night on its own, following your phone.
• Sunset and Ocean — with the Plus plan.
• Hi-Contrast, Forest, Lavender, Aurora and Mocha — with the Pro plan.

If you find the screen hard to read, the Hi-Contrast theme is designed exactly for that: bold lettering and colours so everything shows more clearly.

• «Biometric lock» fingerprint — makes the app ask for your fingerprint or your face every time it opens, just like the bank. So even if someone picks up your phone, they won’t be able to get in and see the care.
• «Discrete mode» visibility_off — hides the money amounts on screen. Useful when you’re somewhere public (the doctor’s waiting room, the bus…) and don’t want how much has been spent to be visible.
• «Change PIN» lock_reset — changes your recovery PIN, that key that lets you recover your data if you change phones. Change it if you think someone has seen it.
• «Backup code» vpn_key — generates the code that saves you if you ever forget your PIN. It’s like an emergency key: you keep it somewhere safe and hope never to need it, but you’ll be enormously glad to have it if it comes to that.

• «Privacy policy» privacy_tip — what data the app stores and how it protects it.
• «Terms of use» description — the legal conditions of use.
• «How to delete my data» article — a detailed guide to erasing your information, with an alternative route by email.

• «Export my data» download — downloads a copy of all your information (it’s a right the data protection law, the GDPR, gives you). Before downloading you choose what to take with you: a PDF (a readable document with all your data), a JSON (the same thing in a technical format, in case you want to migrate or process it elsewhere), the images (the scans and attached photos), or everything together. If you tick several options, the app hands it to you as a single compressed file. The images option only appears if you organize a group: since those photos may contain health data about the person being cared for, it’s the organizer who is responsible for them and for who they’re shared with.
• «Sign out» logout — you leave the app without deleting anything; you come back in whenever you want with your email.
• In the danger zone (set apart so you don’t tap it by accident), «Delete my account» delete_forever deletes your account, though it leaves you a 30-day window in case you change your mind.
