Who it is for

Saturday afternoon dads

The park is done, dinner is at 6:30 and the tank is empty. This is built for that hour.

Dads of 3 to 14 year olds

Plans scale with age, from puddle walks to a one-on-one with a teenager who does not want to talk.

Dads who travel for work

Back from a week away and the kid is cool with you. Start with something small that works.

How this compares

Daily-mission apps for dads charge $6 to $8 a month and cover one age band. Generic chat gives you a list, not a plan for the exact hour you have.

Why we are building this

Park is only an hour... so... what else can I do? Ideally we'd get home around 6:30 for dinner.

Somehow figure out how to keep the kids entertained whilst running on fumes ourselves.

Is this an app I have to install?

No. It runs in the browser on your phone. Nothing to install, nothing for your kid to see.

What happens with my email?
