Your personal morning edition
Weather on the front page. Puzzles in the back. A good joke somewhere in the middle. New edition every morning, designed for people who remember when the paper landed on the doorstep.
Join the BetaEverything you need, nothing you don’t.
Weather, news, nature sightings, local events, poetry, art, and history. Curated for you, not by an algorithm — by an editor.
Solitaire, Sudoku, Checkers, Word Search, and Trivia. The classics, done well. No timers, no pressure, no ads.
Classic audiobooks you can pick up where you left off. Nature sounds. Ambient music. Curated video channels. Old movies that were actually good.
Mood check-ins, medication reminders, gentle exercises, good meals. It’s there if you want it, like the health page in the paper.
Type “dentist Tuesday at 2” or “take aspirin every morning.” It just works. Plain English, no forms.
A different joke every day. Not all of them are good. Most of them are.
Most apps for “older adults” treat you like a patient. Big red emergency buttons. Clinical wellness dashboards. Notifications asking how your joints feel.
That’s not this.
Boomerang is a newspaper. You pick it up in the morning, read what’s interesting, do the puzzle, check the weather, maybe listen to a chapter of a book. When you reach the end, you’re done. Tomorrow there’s a new one.
“It’s like getting the morning paper again, except it knows I like birds and Sudoku.”
The healthy stuff is in there — mood check-ins, medication reminders, exercises — but it rides along quietly, like the health column in the back of the paper. It’s not the headline.
Three steps. No tech support required.
Android or iPhone. Try it instantly in demo mode — no account, no password, no commitment.
Do it yourself, or tap “Help me set up” and send a message to someone you trust. They can help from their own phone.
Open the app each morning. Your gazette is waiting. Read it, enjoy it, go live your day.
Peace of mind without surveillance.
If you’re setting this up for a parent, here’s what you should know: this is their newspaper, not your dashboard. They use it because they enjoy it, not because you told them to.
With the companion app, you can see that they’re reading, playing, and doing well — without hovering:
Three account levels adapt over time: independent, family-assisted, or managed. The right amount of help, no more.
We’re inviting a small group of early readers. Leave your email and we’ll save you a copy.
No spam. Just a note when it’s ready.
