The program allows users to post journal updates right from their site's home page, add photos to journal entries, and easily engage with important updates.

Users can quickly find a loved one's site by site title or person's name, stay updated with notifications on new site activity, and explore the site with a new task bar. They can also easily interact with the latest journal entries, reply with supportive words, and access all the ways to help and support tools on one page. The photo gallery is an organized gallery to view photo updates and add memories from the user's device's library or take current photos with their phone's camera and upload them to the site.
