For busy parents

Your kids’ week, pulled out of your inbox before you miss it.

School, the team, scouts, piano, the pediatrician. It all lands in the same inbox, and the one thing that actually needs you is three messages down, inside a newsletter. TheParentDashboard reads it for you and sends one clear summary of what to do, by when, and for which child — then puts it on the calendar you already use.

We are letting families in a few at a time while it is young. Already have an account? Sign in.

Read-only access to your mail. Nothing is sent, changed or deleted, and your mail is never used for advertising.

Made for the parent who…

Different households carry the same inbox in different ways. Find yourself here, and see what it actually does about it.

The one who gets all the email

“Two kids, four activities, and every newsletter in the district is addressed to me.”

What they need

Nothing slipping. An end to reading the same PDF three times to find the one date in it.

What it does

It reads every message and every attachment, sorts what it finds by child, and sends one summary on the day and time you pick. Every line links to the message it came from, so checking takes seconds rather than a search.

The co-parent across two homes

“If it is not on the shared calendar, it did not happen.”

What they need

Both of you seeing the same version of the week, without one of you having to be the messenger.

What it does

It writes entries to the calendar you already share and can put the other parent on them — after one plain notice, with a one-click opt-out. When a time moves, the entry moves, so both homes see the same thing.

The one with no slack in the day

“I read school email at red lights. I need it to just be on my calendar.”

What they need

Zero new habits. Nothing to open, nothing to check, nothing to remember to look at.

What it does

The week ahead arrives Sunday evening. A daily update arrives only when something changed. Entries appear on your calendar and your task list on their own. You never have to visit anything unless you want the full picture.

What you get

Everything here is built and running today. Each one is optional, and each one is off until you switch it on.

Three emails, each optional

A weekly summary of what the week’s mail is asking of you. A week ahead, usually Sunday evening, day by day. And a short update with only what is new — sent daily, and not at all when nothing changed.

On the calendar you already use

Entries written to your Google Calendar, coloured by child, and updated in place when a time moves. We only ever touch entries we created.

A task list that empties itself

The to-dos — sign this, pay that, pack the other — in a Google Tasks list of their own. Tick one off and it is done everywhere.

A feed for any calendar app

A private address that Apple Calendar, Outlook or anything else can subscribe to. No permissions to grant, and nothing to keep in sync by hand.

Set up by conversation

No forms. It asks about your family, looks at your mail as you talk, and fills in the details as it learns them — showing you each one and the message behind it.

Reads what is attached and linked

The PDF on the message, the Google Doc it links to, the sign-up sheet, the school’s calendar feed. It follows the thread so you do not have to.

Everyone who needs to know

Put a co-parent, a partner or a grandparent on the calendar entries that concern them. They get one plain notice first, and can opt out in a click.

A dashboard, by child

The whole picture when you want it — what each child has coming, what is due, and the original message one click behind every line.

On your phone, without an app store

Install it from your browser and it opens like any other app. It works on the phone you already have, and it stays out of the way until something needs you.

One price for the whole household.

Simple on purpose: no per-child pricing, no add-ons, and nothing to work out at bedtime. Every child, every activity, and every part of the product, in one plan.

Early access

Free for now, by invitation

While the product is young we are letting families in a few at a time, and nothing is charged during early access. When paid plans begin, early-access families move to the household plan below — with notice first, and the choice to stop.

  • Everything in the household plan, no card needed
  • A direct line to the people building it
  • Notice before any charge, and an easy exit

Household

$25 a month

One household, every child, and every parent who needs to know. This is the price when paid plans arrive after early access.

  • All three emails, on the schedule you choose
  • Calendar entries, the task list, and the feed
  • The dashboard, by child, with every source
  • Setup by conversation, and a fresh start whenever you want one
  • New mailbox and calendar providers as they ship, at no extra cost
  • Cancel any time. Your data goes with you.

Why it costs anything: each summary is real work. A model reads your week of mail, opens the links and attachments, and writes it up — that is what the price pays for, and it is why there are no advertisements and never will be. Launch pricing may be refined as we learn what families need; anybody already using it will hear before anything changes.

We are letting families in a few at a time, so the summaries stay good while the product is young. Leave your address and we will email you an invitation when there is room. Nothing else — no newsletter, and nobody else gets the list.

Built for the week you are actually having

Not another app to check, and not a chatbot bolted to a to-do list. The work it does is the reading you do not have time for — so there is less to hold in your head.

It reads like a person would

A date buried in the fourth paragraph, a deadline implied rather than stated, an announcement that only matters because your child is on that team — the things a keyword rule will never catch.

It notices what changed

A moved game or a cancelled practice updates what you already knew, rather than arriving as a second, contradictory item you have to reconcile yourself.

It says when it is unsure

A vague date stays vague rather than being guessed into a specific hour. A wrong time on your calendar is worse than an honest “sometime Friday”.

It shows its work

Every line links back to the message it came from. When something looks wrong, the original is one click away — you are never asked to just trust it.

Your mail stays yours.

You are handing over the most personal inbox you have. These are the rules it is handled under, and each one is written into the code rather than into a promise.

Read-only, always

We can read your mail. We cannot send, change, label or delete anything in it, and the permission we ask Google for does not allow it.

Encrypted where it rests

Your Google credential is encrypted before it is stored, and sign-in sessions are kept only as hashes — a copy of our database cannot be used to sign in as you.

Only what we created

On your calendar we change or remove only the entries we made. Edit one yourself and we leave it alone from then on. Your own events are never touched.

No advertising, no selling, no readers

There are no ads and never will be. We do not sell your data, and no person reads your mail except with your permission when you ask us for help.

Everything it reads is treated as untrusted

Mail and web pages are written by other people. Nothing in them can make the product take an action, and nothing it writes can send mail from your account.

Leave with everything

Disconnect in one click and our access ends at once, at Google as well as here. Delete your account from Settings and everything we hold goes with it, and the entries we made can be removed from your calendar in one action.

The privacy policy says all of this in plain words, with a table of exactly what is stored and for how long.
