GlanceHQ turns the things schools, clubs and other parents send you into one calm brief, on the days there's something to know. Photograph a paper flyer, forward a school email, or paste a WhatsApp message. GlanceHQ reads it, pulls out the dates, times, costs and deadlines, and works out which of your children it applies to. In the morning you open one screen and know what today needs. When a school moves a date, your brief moves with it, and tells you what changed. What it does: • Reads photos, PDFs, forwarded emails and pasted messages • Filters everything to the right child, by year group • Gathers forms, payments and things to bring into one list you tick off • Morning and evening briefs, on the days there is something worth sending • Weather worth knowing about, flagged as a suggestion rather than a fact • Shared across both parents and every device GlanceHQ is not a calendar or a planner. It reads the unstructured things a calendar never holds, so you stop being the only one keeping it all in your head. Your family gets a private address to forward to. Your own inbox keeps the originals. We only read what is sent to that address, and you can delete everything in one tap.
