the mental load

New: photograph a school letter and every date is extracted, staged with lead time, and added to your calendar. No more finding out the night before.

You don't know what's on her mind. That's the problem this solves.

Not the chores — the noticing. Remembering that shoes are outgrown before anyone complains. Knowing term starts in ten days, not on the day. Spotting that the visa renewal takes six weeks, not six days. That work is invisible, it never stops, and in most households one person is carrying nearly all of it.

Mental Load moves it to you.

WHAT IT ACTUALLY DOES

Add your family once — names, ages, schools, activities, renewal dates, the people who help you. From then on the app anticipates.

A birthday isn't one reminder on the day. It's the gift ten days out, the plan at seven, the card at two. A school term becomes uniform and supplies at ten days and a carpool plan at four. A visa expiry starts prompting you six weeks ahead, then checks in again before the deadline.

You get the work when there's still time to do it.

50 THINGS SHE'S TRACKING

Built into the app is a library of the domains a mother actually carries, across thirteen areas: health, food, clothing and growth, school, home, staff, admin and money, social, her work, her wellbeing, travel and seasonal.

Shoe sizes, because feet outgrow shoes faster than anything and children never mention it. What's running low. Whether anyone has read the school app this week. Whether she has had an evening genuinely off duty. Whether her own deferred appointment ever got booked.

A few surface each week, on their own rhythm, so nothing nags. Browse all fifty any time.

THE AI

Premium adds an assistant that reads your whole household:

• A weekly radar that names what she's likely carrying that nobody has claimed • Speak a rambling sentence — "Emma needs goggles Wednesday and Jack's passport runs out in October" — and get properly dated, sorted tasks • Photograph or import school letters, clinic sheets and screenshots; every date is extracted, deduplicated and staged • Add one thing and see the invisible work it implies — the gift, the RSVP, the lift, the outfit

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Nothing is shared. There is no account, no sign-in and no partner login. Assignments — "I've got it", "she's handling it" — are your own reference, and she never sees any of it.

This is deliberate. The moment a household app becomes visible to both people it turns into a chore chart, and chore charts add load rather than removing it. This is for you to carry more, quietly.

Your data stays on your device, encrypted at rest. No analytics, no ads, no tracking.

WHAT'S FREE

The tracked domains, family context, staged reminders, calendar and weather awareness, notifications and private assignments are free, permanently.

Premium covers the four AI features. Seven-day free trial, then $4.99/month or $39.99/year. A one-off lifetime option is available.

This app helps you notice things; it does not guarantee them. Nothing here is medical, legal, immigration, financial or tax advice, and dates should always be confirmed with the school, clinic, authority or provider concerned.

Premium unlocks the AI features: the weekly load radar, voice and text capture, document date import, and reactive suggestions. Everything else is free.

Subscription: monthly or annual auto-renewing, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. A subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.
