Leave work in the car

Five minutes between the office and the front door.

At your shutdown time Doorstep closes the day for you: unfinished work parked for tomorrow, the real ETA sent to your wife, a three-minute audio to switch from owner to husband, and the one sentence to say when you walk in.

Who it is for

Owners who bring the company home

Your brain cannot split between someone's invoice and your daughter's day. Doorstep gives it a hard stop.

Anyone with a commute

Twenty minutes in the car become the transition instead of another call.

Husbands tired of the ETA argument

She gets the real time, automatically, before she has to ask.

How this compares

App-blocking tools for dads block the phone but do not help you switch off. Short-audio apps cost around $9.99 a month and are not about the drive home. Group programs for fathers cover the theme for $79 to $247 a month with live calls.

Why we are building this

I have been missing out on dinner times and having to work extra before their bed time which I find extremely negative.

Questions

Does my wife need the app?

No. She only receives a text with your ETA, if you turn that on.
