FROM INCOMING TO TAKEN CARE OF
Your head isn’t a
filing cabinet. Let’s empty a drawer.
There’s the message. Then there’s the job hiding inside it.
We’re building the bit that connects the two.

Fwd: one less thing ↗
Give it somewhere to land.
Send us the newsletter, the photographed notice or the note you made at pickup. No retyping it into five different places.

Keep the job. Keep the proof.
A date, a deadline, a packed lunch: each detail gets its own place. Check our reading against the message before you confirm.
03Hello, headspace.
Know before the shoes go on.
We’re planning reminders for the jobs still open, plus a short evening rundown. Find out about the costume before breakfast.

BUILT AROUND THE SCHOOL-BAG TEST
Right child. Right day.
And the right shoes.
If the reminder doesn’t help you get out of the door, it hasn’t done its job. Here’s what we’re making room for.
The twins don’t always need the same kit.
Attach each detail to the child it belongs to, or to the whole family. A swimming bag for one doesn’t mean a swimming bag for everyone.
“Hang on, what did the letter actually say?”
Open the message behind a date or task. You’ll have something to check, not just a confident-sounding answer.
The evening version of checking the bags.
Tomorrow will cover the next day; Week Ahead will look further out. Both are planned around confirmed details and unfinished jobs.
BEFORE YOU PUT IT IN THE POST
The small print.
Can I start using ParentInbox yet?
You can create an account and set up your family once account services are connected. Your private forwarding address is reserved during setup. You can paste messages or upload photos and PDFs to find dates and tasks. Email receiving is still being built—please don’t forward emails yet.
What will I be able to send?
We’re building support for forwarded emails, screenshots, photos, PDFs and quick notes. Think school newsletters, club updates, birthday invites and all the things that otherwise live in your head.
What if it gets a detail wrong?
You’ll be able to check and edit extracted details before confirming them. Unclear information will be flagged, and the original message will stay linked so you can check for yourself.
LESS STORED IN YOUR HEAD. MORE RIGHT WHERE YOU NEED IT.
Keep the memories.
Hand over the mental notes.
