Practical automations and bedroom-safe hardware to get family logistics out of your head. Built by a tired dad so parents can stop playing Sunday night air-traffic controller and actually exhale.
Private to your household • Zero microphones or tracking • No extra apps to check
Nobody warned us that having kids meant working an unpaid second shift as an administrative assistant. Here is the daily chaos we got tired of dealing with:
Buried inside a weekly newsletter from Tuesday, or texted to only one parent while the other is already halfway to the wrong field.
Soccer is in TeamSnap, baseball is in GameChanger, swim team is on an old email listserv, and the school portal locked you out again.
Bell schedules, lunch menus, and permission slips delivered as tiny sideways PDFs you have to pinch-and-zoom while sitting in a carpool line.
Staring across the kitchen counter at 9:30 PM asking: "Wait, who has practice pickup on Thursday?" when you both just want to go to sleep.
Automations and hardware blueprints tested at our kitchen table, shared for yours.
Apple Shortcuts for iPhone & Mac
Turn coach texts, school PDFs, and paper flyer photos straight into calendar events with a single tap. Use our standalone tool for any calendar, or Send to CC if your house uses Google CC.
Google Calendar Automation
Pulls youth sports, school, and camp feeds directly into your shared Google Family calendar so both parents see changes as soon as coaches post them.
Screen-Free Smart Alarm
A screen-free, bedroom-safe smart alarm clock for kids with tactile rotary knobs and Spotify Connect. No addictive screens, no late-night notifications, and zero microphones.
Founder, Reclaim The Day
Between demanding jobs and two busy kids, our weekends were getting eaten alive by schedules, portals, and PDFs. I started Reclaim The Day to share the little automations and bedroom-friendly hardware that gave our family our evenings back.
A $12 chip, Spotify, Hue lighting, and automated school calendar awareness.
Automatically scanning emails to build calendar playbooks in the background.
The invisible burden of the Chief Calendar Officer and why parents don't need another app.
Join parents getting practical calendar automations, bedroom-friendly hardware blueprints, and real kitchen-table tools delivered straight to their inboxes.
