Turn school flyers into a family calendar in seconds.
Snap a photo of any paper flyer, birthday invite, or appointment card. Our Life reads it and adds the events to your shared family calendar — color-coded to the right kid, conflicts flagged before they happen, no re-typing. We paused our public launch to rebuild the privacy foundation because we believe trust matters more than speed.
Everything your family needs. None of the noise.
Built for the way families actually live in 2026 — fast, beautiful, and quietly powerful underneath.
AI Quick-add & photo-to-events
Type "Soccer every Tuesday at 4pm" and watch the recurring event bloom with the right kid's color tint. Or snap a school flyer — Claude 4.5 Vision pulls eight events out at once.
Cook with the kids
100 hand-curated family recipes built right in — sheet-pan, slow-cooker, 20-minute lunchbox wins — each one shot with AI photography so you cook from a picture, not a wall of text. Guided Cook mode walks the family through every step on a full-screen player with auto-detected timers and swipe-forward nav, so kids can read along and own a step or two. Snap your finished plate and it lands in the family cookbook forever. New recipes added often.
Sitter share
One link gives a babysitter exactly what they need for the night — schedule, meals, notes — and nothing more.
Plan a week in a sentence
Tell the AI what your family eats and what you're avoiding. Get a 7-day meal plan back with shopping list, prep times, and one-tap recipe import.
Live, in real time
One parent edits, the other's phone updates in under 200 ms. No "pull to refresh." No stale plans.
Kid view, built in
One tap turns the app into a kid-safe view — bigger text, only their own events, no AI surfaces. Hand the phone over without worry.
The family-calendar category was overdue for a refresh.
Cozi has 20M users. Maple just raised $5M. FamilyWall hasn't shipped a meaningful update in two years. We rebuilt the category from scratch — AI-first, real-time, joyful — and gave the good parts away for free.
Snap a flyer → 8 events
Claude 4.5 Vision reads the JPEG, extracts every date and venue, color-tints to the right kid, flags conflicts. The most painful task of every school year collapses to one tap.
Read the deep dive →130 ms real-time sync
Server-Sent Events, not polling. The other parent's phone updates with a soft chime before they look up. Cozi polls every 5 minutes. We don't poll. We push.
Read the deep dive →AI conflict resolution
Overlap warnings at compose time. Proactive resolution in the Sunday digest. One-tap "Suggest a fix" rewrite.
Sitter share, done right
One link. "Shared by Mom 💛 — visible until 9pm tonight." Auto-expires. No sitter app required. Warm where every competitor is cold.
Read the deep dive →Sunday AI digest
A calm one-card recap of what your family did + an AI-narrated 120-word story of your week. Text it to the grandparents.
Read the deep dive →Free to start, forever
More features in the free tier than Cozi Gold or Maple+ charge $40/yr for. Plus is $4.99/mo for the AI heavy lifting. No ads. No data sales. Cancel anytime.
Apple, Google, and Outlook — in two taps.
Two-way sync with the calendar your family already uses. No new tabs to babysit. No "and now switch to the other app."
Plus any iCal feed your school, sports league, or community center publishes.
We pulled Our Life 48 hours after launching.
Our architecture didn't yet meet the standard we wanted to hold this product to. We un-shipped, and we're rebuilding those foundations in the open. v1.1 returns to the App Store when the code has earned the claims. Read the full "why" →
- A public Decision Ledger — every architectural choice with its evidence, alternatives, and tradeoffs.
- A weekly build journal — what shipped, what didn't, what got harder.
- The Red Lines — what this company never does, and why.
- Rebuilding toward client-side encryption of family content, with an independent security review before it reaches the App Store.
- Every public claim, matched to the code that earns it — before we publish it.
