A calmer school year for busy parents

School notices, turned into a short to‑do list.

Forward the email. Photograph the flyer. Homeroom pulls out what to bring, pay, sign and attend — you approve every line, then hand it off to whoever's on pickup.

Built for the people who already have it handled — most days.

The Friday‑folder problem

The average school year sends a family hundreds of emails, flyers, app posts and crumpled paper notices. Somewhere in there is the slip that's due Tuesday, the $12 for the bus, and the day pickup moves to 1:15.

You're not disorganized — the system is. Homeroom reads the notices you hand it and keeps the answer in one place: a short approved list of what actually needs doing.

"Not another app to check. One list, that both households can see."

How it works

  1. Hand it the notice

    Forward the school email, drop in a screenshot, or photograph the crumpled flyer from the backpack. Homeroom only sees what you share — it never scans your inbox.

  2. Approve the list

    It pulls out the actions — who, what, when, how much — and flags anything ambiguous for a yes/no instead of guessing. You approve every line before it lands on the list.

  3. Hand it off

    Approved items become reminders, calendar entries and a one-tap caregiver brief — so Grandpa knows it's early pickup, and nobody digs through a thread at 4:58 pm.

Try it: notice in, list out

Interactive demo · sample data only · runs entirely in your browser

Pick a sample notice — or paste your own text — and watch it become an action list. Approve items, download a calendar entry, or copy the caregiver brief. In the planned app this will run on a trained extraction model; here it's simple pattern-matching so you can try the flow.

Try adding a date, a dollar amount, or a "please bring" line — or edit a child name to Maya or Leo.

Your list

Choose a sample notice, or paste your own, then press “Turn it into the list”.

    Pickup isn't always you

    Grandparents, sitters, the other household, the carpool parent — Homeroom writes each week's approved list as a short brief they'll actually read. What to pack, when to be where, what's already paid.

    • One-tap share as a text — no app needed on their end
    • Per-child details, so Leo's day isn't Maya's
    • You choose what each caregiver sees

    Built the way parents would build it

    • You share it, it reads it

      No inbox connection required. Homeroom processes the notices you forward, photograph or paste — nothing else. Planned Gmail and school-portal integrations will be strictly opt-in.

    • You approve everything

      Nothing reaches your calendar, your reminders or your caregiver until you've tapped approve. Ambiguous items come back as a question, not a guess.

    • Built for real families

      Multiple kids, multiple schools, two households, rotating caregivers. Per-child lists and per-caregiver permissions are in the MVP, not the backlog.

    The first class

    We're building toward a small pilot this school year with elementary-school families — including solo parents, two-household schedules and the grandparents and sitters who hold it all together.

    The plan: pilot families get the app free through the school year and a direct line to the people building it, with a target of roughly $5/month per family after the pilot — pricing is a hypothesis, not set yet.

    Pilot signup isn't open yet — the plan is public, and this page will host signup when the app reaches TestFlight.
