Turning on a light is often taken for granted—until it becomes a challenge. For seniors, individuals with Parkinson’s, limited mobility, or visual impairments, even this basic action can pose daily difficulties. Switchify addresses this problem with a simple, tool-free solution that turns traditional switches into large, illuminated push buttons. There is no need for wiring changes or technical setup. With adhesive mounting and battery operation, Switchify instantly improves accessibility and usability. Its illuminated face, tactile feedback, and compatibility with toggle and rocker switches make it a practical choice for safer and more independent home living.


Fast and Flexible Setup Without Electrical Work

Switchify is designed to work with the most common wall switch types—single, double, or triple toggle and rocker switches-without rewiring. Installation involves just three steps: remove the battery tab, place the light switch in the "on" position, and press Switchify firmly onto the switch cover using the built-in adhesive. No tools are required.


Once installed, Switchify operates like a large surface button. Pressing it activates the mechanical arm inside the device, which toggles the light switch up or down. The mechanism is optimized for minimal effort, so those with arthritis or hand tremors can use it without strain.



The device is powered by long-life batteries which require replacement every 2–3 years. A discreet LED battery replacement light helps alert users before the battery runs out. The cover is smooth and easy to clean, designed to blend into the wall while offering subtle illumination to improve night-time visibility.

By offering a no-electrician-needed upgrade path, Switchify lowers the barrier for households that want improved accessibility without committing to a costly smart home overhaul.


Enhanced Accessibility for Daily Use and Night-Time Visibility

Switchify’s primary feature is its ease of use for individuals with limited strength, motor control, or visibility. The entire outer surface is one large button, so precise hand placement is not necessary. This is especially beneficial for users with Parkinson’s or muscle weakness, as the large button and responsive click require significantly less force than flipping a standard switch.


A built-in Tritium lighting ring provides continuous soft illumination around the button edge. This makes it easy to find at night or in dimly lit spaces without relying on the main light. For the visually impaired, this glow reduces fumbling or missing touches. For elderly users, the lighted ring also acts as a gentle reminder of where the switch is located, minimizing frustration and falls.


Once pressed, the switch delivers a tactile feedback response, so users know immediately that the action was registered. This eliminates uncertainty, making the experience more comfortable and reassuring for those who rely on physical confirmation.


Because Switchify attaches directly to existing switches, it maintains the home's appearance and works with all regular lighting systems, making it suitable for bedrooms, bathrooms, hallways, or any frequently used room.


Designed to Support Independence at Every Age

Switchify is especially beneficial for seniors and those wishing to age in place. Its no-installation approach means it can be added by family members, caregivers, or even the users themselves. This independence is key to maintaining confidence and reducing reliance on others for simple tasks like turning lights on and off.


For people living with neurological conditions, joint stiffness, or injury recovery, Switchify provides a sense of control. It does not require smartphone apps, Wi-Fi, or digital assistants, making it accessible to all users regardless of technical comfort. Simply press the button, and the light responds—no learning curve involved.


It also serves as an ideal temporary accessibility solution. For example, a recovering patient or someone managing mobility issues during rehabilitation can benefit from the simplified interface without permanent home changes.


Its modular design means that multiple Switchify units can be placed throughout the home, improving comfort and safety across different rooms. The user experience remains consistent no matter where the product is placed.


A Small Change With Lasting Impact

Switchify turns everyday interaction into a safer, simpler task for those who need it most. By removing wiring or configuration, it offers instant results with minimal effort. Its thoughtful design supports comfort, safety, and ease of use—whether you are aging in place, managing a disability, or looking after someone who is. This is not just a button; it is a way to make homes more inclusive and empowering with just one press.
