Sagebeam is a caregiving coordination app designed for adult children managing an aging parent's care — to-dos, reminders, medication tracking, a document vault, and a personalized care plan that surfaces the legal, medical, and financial gaps families typically miss. It's built around the tasks of caregiving. Family Stork is built around the records themselves: every person gets a private email address, clinics send records directly to it, and a health timeline builds itself automatically. Every person gets one health story, and one private Family Stork email address every clinic already knows how to use.
Sagebeam opens with a question: "Missing something in your parent's care?" Their personalized plan surfaces critical gaps — the legal documents you haven't filed, the medication list you haven't consolidated, the financial questions no one has asked. Turn each recommendation into a task, track your progress, share updates with siblings. Sagebeam positions itself as the central hub for the organizational work of caregiving. It's free to start, serves 450+ families, and includes a document vault where you can store important files.
Family Stork starts with a different question: where do your parent's medical records actually live? They're scattered. The cardiologist has one version. The primary care doctor has another. The hospital discharge papers are in a folder somewhere. The specialist notes are in a portal you haven't logged into in six months. Family Stork gives your parent a private address — the private Family Stork address shown on their record. You share it with every doctor's office. Each clinic emails records there. They file into one searchable health timeline automatically. No portal logins. No uploads. No hunting.
Tired of managing health records for yourself and everyone you love? Family Stork organizes them for you automatically. Your parents' records are scattered across every doctor they ever had. Bring them together.

They solve different problems. Sagebeam is a caregiving coordination tool — it tracks what you need to do and when. Family Stork is a health records tool — it holds the actual medical history. Some caregivers find they need both: one to coordinate tasks, one to hold the records. Family Stork's private email address is specifically designed to collect records from every clinic automatically, which complements any coordination app.
Every person has a private address shown on their record. You share that address with each of your parent's doctors — their primary care physician, cardiologist, neurologist, any specialist. When a doctor emails a visit summary or lab result to that address, it files into the health timeline automatically. Ask each provider to send records to the private address on your parent's Family Stork record. Always consult your parent's doctors directly for medical questions, care decisions, and medication changes.
Yes. You can invite siblings and other family members to view a parent's record. Each person sees only what you choose to share. The private email address stays with the record — helpers and family members don't own or manage the account. If an urgent question comes up, always call 911 or the doctor directly rather than relying on any app for emergency guidance.
For clinics that prefer portals, you can download records from the portal and snap a photo for Family Stork's AI to process. For paper documents — discharge summaries, printed lab results — a photo works the same way. The goal is one complete timeline, regardless of how each record originally arrived.
