About
We're putting the optometry group text on rails.
Optometry has a fill-in network. It runs over text. We're not trying to replace it — we're trying to give it a UI, a contract, and a payout. So the network can scale past the people you went to school with.

Why this, why us
Built by someone who's done a Tuesday.
Practicing OD for [X] years. Watched too many practices reschedule a day of patients because no one answered the group text in time. Watched too many ODs miss good shifts because they weren't on the right Facebook group.
The fill-in network was real — and trapped in DMs. NotifEyes is the network with a UI, a contract, and a payout that actually happens. We're keeping it small until V1 ships. Then we go wide.
What we believe
- Optometry staffing is not a logistics problem. It is a discovery problem.
- ODs should be paid 100% of the rate the practice agreed to.
- “Vetted” should mean license + ID + DEA — not the agency's gut.
- Software should reduce the amount of personal favor-asking. Not increase it.
The team
Small. Built for shipping V1.
