Tiny hidden helpers for busy parents.
You forward the school emails. Your Sprite reads them, organizes them, and lays it all out in one place — so you stop worrying you’ve missed something that matters.
closed beta
Your brain shouldn’t have to hold all of it.
Imagine
Everything in one place
Organized for you in real time
Meet your Sprite.
Your Sprite works alongside you, quietly, in the background. Your own personal helper with its own email address and a memory for whose-stuff-is-whose. You forward things to your Sprite. Your Sprite surfaces them on the dashboard. Live, the moment they’re read.
What it does
Reads
Forward school emails or connect your Gmail. Your Sprite reads each message the moment it arrives.
Organizes
Items appear on the dashboard as your Sprite finishes reading. No refresh, no digging.
Learns
Asks who an email is for once per new sender — then never asks again.
Recaps
An optional daily email at the time you choose. Brief, skippable, and easy to turn off entirely.
What the dashboard does
Keep track of what needs to be taken care of
Forms sent home, permission slips, class picture orders, yearbook orders, send a photo to the teacher — all the little to-dos sneaking through your emails, now in one place. Nothing buried.
Get reminded on the day of
Spirit days, pajama days, teacher appreciation week — the stuff you can’t do ahead of time. Your Sprite reminds you the morning it matters.
Easily stay up with what your kids are doing in school
A weekly summary of what they’re learning, what’s happening in their classrooms. You’re still connected without reading every newsletter.
Choose when you want to raise your hand
Volunteer opportunities are there when you want to browse them, but nothing’s expected of you. You decide what you take on.
Decide what needs to be on your calendar
Family events and parent-required stuff separated from background happenings. You control what gets your attention.
From the founder
“It was amazing.”
When I prototyped the first version of this, I finally felt like I had a complete read on everything coming into my inbox. There’s no way I’m going back to feeling constantly behind on everything.
— Linsey, Founder
This is the daily reality for so many parents today.
The time tax. Precious minutes every day spent reading every school newsletter, every email, hunting for the one thing that actually matters. Time you could spend literally anywhere else.
The dig and search.The moment you realize you need something — the Sign-up Genius link, the permission slip, the address, the date — and now you’re back in your inbox, digging. Again.
The mental tab. The background process running all the time. Is there a thing? Did I miss it? What am I forgetting? Your brain never actually closes.
The regret hit.The awful sinking feeling — “my kid missed out and I’m the reason.” The pajama day forgotten. The teacher appreciation gift you missed. The yearbook order you never placed. The moments that slip away because you couldn’t keep it all together.
The low-grade inbox pressure.That constant pull. You can’t really set it down. Skip a day and you might miss the thing that costs something.
Who this is for.
Parents juggling a lot. Multiple kids, multiple activities, or multiple schools. The more kids, classes, teams, and schedules in the mix, the more emails. The cognitive load compounds fast — and even one kid in three activities can bury you.
Time-strapped parents. Whether you’re working full time, caregiving, volunteering, or just trying to keep up with life — you have more important things to do than vigilantly check your inbox. You need your time back.
Parents who are a little ADHD-ish. The emails pile up, the tabs multiply, the systems break down. You’re not wired for daily maintenance tasks on repeat, but life keeps throwing them at you.
And when we say parents, we mean every single amazing human who is taking care of kids. You know who you are.
How we keep your data secure
- You choose what gets forwarded. You decide which emails land with your Sprite. Forwarding gives you control over what we see — we only process what you explicitly send us.
- Here’s what it means when AI reads your emails. Your Sprite is powered by Claude, Anthropic’s AI. When you forward an email, it’s processed by Anthropic’s API to organize it. Anthropic automatically deletes API data within 7 days and never uses it to train their models. Your emails aren’t feeding anything — they’re just being read and organized on your behalf.
- Your data stays yours. We don’t sell your data. Ever. Not to advertisers, not to partners, not to anyone. What lands with your Sprite stays with your Sprite.
