Lighten: Family Hub & Planner

AI organizer, chores & lists

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Parents carry thousands of tiny things in their heads. School events. Birthday parties. Dentist appointments. Soccer cleats. The permission slip due Friday. Who is picking up which kid. What has to happen tomorrow. Calendar apps and to-do apps are tools. Lighten is an assistant that understands the chaos. SAY IT ONCE Type or dictate one messy sentence: "Elesa has a birthday party Saturday at 2. Need a gift under $30 and we have to leave by 1:30." Lighten turns it into everything hiding inside: • Buy gift for Elesa (under $30) — Friday • Add party location — Saturday morning • Leave home — Saturday 1:30 PM • Elesa's birthday party — Saturday 2:00 PM Review, tweak, tap Add. Done. Nothing lives only in your head anymore. SNAP IT INSTEAD Got a school flyer, a sports schedule, a party invite or a handwritten list? Take a photo and Lighten reads it and turns every date into a plan. SHARED WITH YOUR PARTNER, IN REAL TIME Invite your partner with a six-character code. Every task, event, reminder and shopping item appears on both phones instantly. Check something off and it is checked off for both of you. STAYS IN THE LOOP, EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T Busy week? Lighten keeps up without you opening it. Add your family's plans to Apple Calendar or Google Calendar, get a heads-up when your partner adds something, and a Sunday evening summary of the week ahead. IT ORGANIZES YOUR WEEK FOR YOU "You have 7 things this week. Want me to organize them?" Lighten proposes dates for undated tasks, moves prep work before the events it serves, and spreads the load across the week. You approve with one tap. SHARE THE LOAD, FAIRLY See who is carrying what this week and last month. Tap Balance it and Lighten suggests a fairer split. EVERYTHING THAT MATTERS, IN ONE PLACE • Today: overdue, today, tomorrow, later this week • Calendar: the whole family by week, month or year • Lists: shopping, gifts, forms and admin, notes • Family: members, kids, invite code, load balance • Reminders: one hour before events, the morning of tasks, and a calm morning digest BUILT FOR REAL FAMILY LIFE • Brain dump by voice while you are driving to pickup • Budgets on gifts and shopping ("under $30") • Tag items to a specific child • Works offline and syncs when you are back online • No account, email or password required to start PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your household's data is visible only to the people you invite.
