Technology that meets people where illness has left them.
Escrich Foundation builds free software for the people the systems miss: patients facing serious illness, people who need accessibility built in, and classrooms that can't afford the best tools. Quiet, careful tools — powered by low-cost AI, given freely.
Disease is hard enough. The systems around it shouldn't be.
We make small, well-built things — applications, automations, AI helpers — and give them away. If something we build saves one family an afternoon of phone calls, that's the win.
Tools for illness
Software that quietly takes weight off a patient's week — appointment reminders, medication tracking, paperwork wrangling, family coordination, AI-assisted summaries of clinical documents. Help that fades into the background.
Tools for accessibility
Software built for the people default interfaces ignore — assistive readers, captioning and transcription, communication aids, AI-powered descriptions. So the door opens for everyone, not just the typical user.
Tools for learning
Teaching and tutoring built on inexpensive open AI — language practice, accessible curricula, study companions for classrooms with the smallest budgets. So the same quality of help reaches every student.
Live tools, already in people's hands.
A wall of pats on the back. No money required.
We don't take donations. We take moral support — knowing someone we respect believes this work matters makes the difference. If that's you, sign on.
Adding your name to this wall is a personal expression of goodwill — a public pat on the back to a group of people building free software for people facing illness, accessibility barriers, or learning challenges. It is not a financial contribution, a board or advisor role, a fiduciary relationship, or an endorsement of any specific program, claim, or outcome. You can ask us to remove your name at any time by emailing legal@escrich.org. We will never reach out asking you for money — that is not what this Foundation does.
We're looking for careful builders.
Developers, designers, clinicians, accessibility experts, teachers — anyone who's seen where technology should have shown up but didn't. Tell us how you'd like to help.
No fees. No tiers. No conditions.
Everything we make is given freely — to patients and caregivers, to people the systems ignored, to teachers and students who couldn't afford the tools. That's the entire mission.
