Description

Tochie is a screen free reminder speaker designed to support seniors and people living with dementia at home. Instead of relying on a visual display, Tochie speaks the time, weather, and personalised reminders out loud in a familiar voice, offering a calm and reassuring alternative to traditional dementia clocks.

Using the free Tochie app, family members can record unlimited voice messages and schedule them to play at specific times. Whether it is medication reminders, personal care prompts, household tasks, or simple messages of love, Tochie helps maintain routine, independence, and connection. Messages can also be typed and played using Tochie’s built in voice engine.

Each Tochie includes a free lifetime subscription with no ongoing fees. Multi room messaging is supported, allowing reminders to be scheduled across multiple Tochie devices. A gentle chime sounds before each message, and the base lights up during playback to draw attention. Optional double tap confirmation allows carers to see in the app whether a reminder has been acknowledged.

Tochie connects via 2.4GHz WiFi and retains all settings during a power outage. Finished in Rose, it is compact, discreet, and designed for everyday living.
