How it works
Forward an email. Get your morning back.
Smitty's job is to take the things scattered across email, paper, and one parent's brain — and turn them into a calm text the family can actually live by.
01
Setup
Forward your school and activity emails.
When you sign up we give you a private forwarding address: yourfamily@smitty.app. Send school flyers, activity emails, PDF permission slips, and image-based newsletters Smitty's way.
Smitty parses the messy forwarded format, runs OCR on PDF and image attachments, and ignores the school-wide noise that doesn't apply to your kids.
02
Confirm
Smitty handles the obvious stuff and asks when it isn't sure.
When an email is clear — date, time, kid, place — Smitty adds it to your private family calendar and tells you in your evening update. When something's ambiguous ("Which kid is this for?" "Is this Tuesday or next Tuesday?"), Smitty texts you to confirm before acting.
Nothing happens behind your back. Every action shows up in your evening update and your web inbox, where you can edit or undo with one tap. You're always in control — Smitty just stops bothering you about the easy stuff.
03
Morning update
A calm 6 AM text. Scannable in 15 seconds.
A few bullets, organized by child, of what actually matters today. School-wide noise is quietly archived. Picture-day reminders only show up the week of.
04
Just-in-time
Pings when something needs you in the moment.
Pick up Sarah from dance now. Reply “got it,” “done,” or “snooze 15” and Smitty respects it. Acknowledged items don't reappear.
05
Q&A
Text Smitty anything.
When is the field trip? What's on Saturday? Did we RSVP for the birthday party? Smitty answers in under 30 seconds with full family context.
Calibrated to be under-confident, never over-confident. If Smitty doesn't know, it says so — and asks if it should remember the answer.
06
Calendar
Your calendar stays in the loop. Quietly.
One-way .ics subscription works in Google, Apple, and Outlook. Per-child color coding optional. Calendar is positioned as a backend for spouse and nanny visibility — not your daily UX.
07
Off-channel
Half of family logistics never hits an email.
Text Smitty: “Sarah has a playdate Saturday with Sophie's mom Lisa, 2 PM at our place.” Smitty extracts it, confirms once, and stores it. Done.
The morning text
This is what most days look like.
We replace the moment you frantically review the day in your head over coffee with one calm text. The pricing is $12.99/month for a single parent and starts with a 30-day free trial.
Tuesday at a glance
- • Sarah: library books due. Pack them tonight.
- • Kiki: $5 for Greek Olympics, exact change.

Two FYIs: school newsletter (no action needed), and picture-day reminder for Friday — already on the calendar.
