Made for older adults, one step at a time

The browser for

Elder Loved Ones

Someone to point the way, right on their screen.

Tell Sherpa what you're trying to do — "cancel my Amazon Prime" — and a big orange arrow shows you exactly what to click next. One step at a time. Read aloud, slowly and clearly. You stay in control the whole way.

See how it works

Works with Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc and Opera. Nothing to buy.

Built for real websites, not a simplified version of them

Every website. One patient guide.

Sherpa doesn't click anything for you. It watches the page with you, finds the right button among all the clutter, and points. You do the clicking, at your own pace.

Guide Me

Say what you want. Sherpa finds the way.

Type or say something simple, like "cancel my gym membership" or "unsubscribe from this newsletter." Sherpa reads the page, works out where the real button is hiding, and walks you there one click at a time.

Each step is spoken out loud, slowly and clearly, so you never have to guess if you've done the right thing.

What Sherpa says, one step at a time
Step 1 of 3. Look near the top of the page for a button called "Account."
Step 2 of 3. Now click "Membership & Billing," in the left-hand list.
Before
After one press
Make This Page Easy to Read

One big button. A calmer, clearer page.

Press it once: text grows larger, contrast gets darker and easier to read, buttons grow to be easier to click, and pop-ups, adverts and auto-playing videos are quietly put away.

Press it again, and the page goes back exactly as it was. Nothing is changed for good — you're always just one press from either version.

Watches Out for Tricks and Scams

It notices what you might not.

Some sites bury the "cancel" button on purpose, or hide it behind confusing wording. Sherpa warns you in plain words when a page is making it hard to say no — then points at the real cancel button anyway.

It also speaks up if a page looks like a fake bank or delivery site asking for your personal details, before you type anything in.

This page is making it hard to cancel
It's asking you to call a phone number and wait, instead of just clicking a button. The real cancel button is lower down the page — I've pointed at it for you.

"Help me cancel my newspaper subscription."

Just Say It Out Loud

No typing. No tiny keyboard.

Hold the big orange microphone button and say what you're trying to do, in your own words. Sherpa listens and gets started — no hunting for letters on a small screen.

Ask a Family Member

Bring someone else in, in one press.

One button writes a clear, plain-English message explaining what you're trying to do, together with a picture of your screen — ready to send over WhatsApp, a text message, or email.

No need to explain the problem from scratch. It's already written for you.

Hi Sarah — I'm trying to cancel my Prime membership but I'm stuck on this page. Can you take a quick look? (Screenshot attached)
