The background
Caring for those who care for the land
The idea was born in 2019, championed by an agronomist and a rural outreach worker: give farmers a discreet tool to keep an eye on their morale and find help at the right time.
The project took root thanks to a crowdfunding campaign that raised over $45,000 from 237 contributors. The next step was to build an app worthy of that trust: simple, reassuring and respectful of privacy.
Québec Studio handled the programming, from the mobile app to the admin, on a design by Et hop! studio.

Anonymity from the very first minute
Identity and contacts stay on the phone, never tied to the account. Statistics are only viewed in aggregate, and closing an account anonymizes its data. For a mental health tool, that was non-negotiable.
