Parent Brief

Three kids. Two schools. Four coaches. One email every morning.

Every school email from yesterday, sorted by what you actually have to do about it. In your inbox by 6:00am.

A brief from a Tuesday in October.

What we can and can't see

You choose what we can see. We scan From, address, and subject on recent mail so you can pick school senders. We then read the full body of messages from senders you check, to write a brief. We do not include mail from a sender you did not check.

Continue with Google is sign-in only (name and email). It does not open your inbox. Connecting Gmail is a separate Google permission screen. We request gmail.readonly — read mail. We do not request send, delete, or settings. We will not send, delete, or move mail, change Gmail settings, see or store your Google password, or share your Gmail login with a co-parent.

If you forward instead, we never open your inbox. You send copies to a private address. Unknown addresses are dropped.

How we handle school mailTerms of service

Is this reading my whole inbox?

No. Continue with Google is sign-in only (name and email). It does not open your inbox. If you connect Gmail, we scan From, address, and subject on recent mail so you can pick school senders, then read the full body of messages from senders you check. We do not include mail from a sender you did not check.

What about the coach who texts instead of emailing?

If a coach emails, and you pick that sender, those messages go in the brief. Remind, Band, GroupMe, and group texts are not covered. We do not read those.

What if it misses something important?

We only include mail from the senders you watch. In Settings, each of those senders has an Always look for note — tell us to pull the lunch menu, picture-day color, or a form that is due, and we look for those when we write the brief. If a sender is not on your list, that mail will not be in it.

If a date or a deadline shows up in a school email we're watching and it isn't in your brief, tell us and we'll refund the whole year. No partial credit, no argument.

How long does setup actually take?

You sign in with Google. That screen is identity only — name and email — and does not open your inbox. Then a separate Google permission screen asks for read-only mail.

If you've got one kid at one school and you actually read every email, you don't need this.

  • Tomorrow's school mail, already sorted
  • Each kid's dates under their name, even across schools
  • A Sunday look-ahead so Monday isn't a scramble (Family)
  • A second adult on the same brief (Family)
