LazyDad is an AI-powered assistant that helps busy parents stay on top of school communications from Wilma. Stop scrolling through endless messages — let AI do the heavy lifting. **Smart Message Management** All your Wilma messages in one place, organized and searchable. Filter by student, message type, or search by content. AI highlights high-priority messages so you know what needs your attention first. **AI-Generated Weekly Summary** Get a concise overview of the entire school week at a glance. The weekly digest organizes events, announcements, and action items by day — so you always know what's coming up. **School Schedule with Smart Exception Tracking** View your children's weekly school hours in a clear day-by-day grid. When the school sends messages about schedule changes — early dismissals, teacher training days, special events, or shortened days — AI automatically detects and applies these exceptions to the schedule. Changed times are highlighted so you can instantly see when pickup times differ from normal. **Automatic Calendar Events** School events mentioned in messages are automatically extracted and can be added to your device calendar. Field trips, parent meetings, holidays — they all show up without manual entry. **Translations On Demand** Don't speak the school's language fluently? Translate any message to your preferred language with one tap, or enable auto-translate for all incoming messages. **Multi-Student Support** Track multiple children across different schools and grades. Each student is color-coded for easy identification across messages, schedules, and events. **Privacy First** Your credentials are stored securely on your device. Message analysis happens through our secure backend — we don't store your messages. --- LazyDad Premium (Monthly Subscription) - Unlocks AI-powered summaries, translations, calendar extraction, and weekly digests - Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase - Subscription automatically renews unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period - Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period - You can manage and cancel subscriptions in your Apple ID Account Settings - Privacy Policy: https://lazydad.app/privacy - Terms of Service: https://lazydad.app/terms
