Default Parent is the shared daily view for what each child needs today. Built for households where one parent usually carries the school, nursery, pickup, bag-packing, and tomorrow-prep plan in their head, Default Parent gives both adults one place to check before asking. Create recurring routines for each child, grouped by morning, after school, and evening prep. Add one-off Today changes when something unusual comes up. Mark tasks done or not needed, and keep both parents looking at the same source of truth. Default Parent helps you: - See what each child needs today - Share morning, after-school, and evening prep routines - Add today-only notes without changing the usual routine - Track what is done, still left, or not needed - Invite the other parent into the same family view - Keep Today visible with widgets and Live Activities - Review household history with Premium This is not a giant family organiser. It is the place the other parent checks before asking. Update once. Get asked less. Terms: https://defaultparent.co.uk/terms/
