Privacy

Last updated: June 26, 2026

I built this for families like mine. Here’s exactly what happens to what you type, in plain words, because you deserve plain words.

Your schedule isn’t stored on our end. There are no accounts, no sign-ups, no database of your schedules. Your schedule lives in the link in your browser’s address bar. That’s why you can bookmark it, text it to yourself, or scan the QR code on a printed page to get it back. If you lose the link and the paper, we can’t recover your schedule, because we never had it.

What you type is processed, briefly, then gone. When you make a schedule, the steps you typed pass through our servers and an AI service (Anthropic’s Claude) to pick matching pictures or suggest steps. That processing is transient: we don’t store what you wrote, and we never attach it to you. The only thing you type that we ever keep is a “moment” idea you deliberately choose to send us from the Prepare page, and even that arrives with no name or identity attached, so we know which moments to add next.

No tracking, no ads. The only thing we count is totals. No cookies following you around, no pixels, no IDs, nothing sold to anyone. Not ever. We also keep an anonymous daily tally: how many times a tool was opened or a page was printed, as totals with nobody’s name on them. A tally mark, not a record: no count can be connected to you or your child, because nothing about you ever arrives with it. We count so we know which tools actually help. This tool is free because organizations and people who believe in it keep it free, not because you’re the product.

About your child. The tools never require your child’s name, age, photo, or anything else. A few pages let you CHOOSE to add a name or notes (a schedule title, the Meet-My-Kid page); anything you add lives only in your link and your printed page, under your control. It is never sent to us or stored by us, because there is no database for it to sit in.

One practical note about links. Because your schedule is encoded in its link, anyone you share that link with can see that schedule. Share it like you’d share the paper version: with people you trust.

It works without a signal, and that stays on your phone. Once you’ve opened the site, your phone keeps a copy of the app so the tools still work in a dead zone: a parking lot, a waiting room, the back of a car. That copy is our public app, plus whatever you’re working on, and it never leaves your device or comes back to us. It also means fewer trips to the internet, so there’s even less of a trail. And if we ship a fix, the copy on your phone quietly updates itself the next time you open the site online, so you’re never stuck on an old version. You’re always in control: clearing your browser data removes it, anytime.

Who helps run it. A few trusted services do the heavy lifting: Vercel hosts the site, Upstash keeps the anonymous counts, and Anthropic provides the AI that matches pictures. Each one only ever sees what it needs to do its job, and none of them get a profile of you, because there isn’t one to give.

The formal bits, in plain words. We do not sell or share your personal information: not for money, not for ads, not ever. We don’t use tracking cookies. The AI suggestions are generated automatically and can be imperfect, so please review them before using them with your child.
