Hobson sits above your calendars and handles the coordination you shouldn't have to think about — carpools, to-dos, and the nudge you need before you need it. Built for parents, caregivers, and anyone whose brain is full. Most apps want your attention. Hobson's job is to give it back. ONE VIEW OF EVERYTHING Connect every calendar in the household — yours, your partner's, the kids', the school's. Hobson reads them all and surfaces only what needs a decision. No more Sunday-night archaeology across four apps. CARPOOLS WITHOUT THE GROUP CHAT Who's driving, who's riding, who forgot — coordinated quietly, confirmed automatically, with none of the 47-message thread. TO-DO LISTS THAT WRITE THEMSELVES Trip coming up? Holiday? Birthday party? Hobson builds the checklist for the event and hands it to you finished. You just check the boxes. Or assign to people in your circle. NUDGES WITH JUDGMENT Hobson reminds you when something needs doing — and notices when something hasn't been done in a while. Firm enough to work. Polite enough that you don't resent it. BUILT FOR FULL BRAINS If your mind keeps seventeen tabs open, Hobson closes sixteen of them. Gentle, persistent, shame-free reminders that work with how your brain actually works — including ADHD brains. WHO KEEPS A BUTLER THESE DAYS? Parents running the family logistics operation. Caregivers coordinating for others. Professionals whose personal life became a second job. Anyone who'd like the mental load carried by someone else for a change. HEALTH, IF YOU WANT IT Hobson can optionally use Apple Health (steps and workouts) to time fitness-related nudges. Only with your permission — and your health data never leaves your device.

PaperToPlan turns household paperwork into one clear next step you can check and edit. Scan with your camera, choose a photo or PDF, or send a document from the Share sheet.

It also shows the matching words from the paper so you can compare them before you act. MAKE THE PAPER USEFUL • Edit the suggested title and details. • Add a reminder or calendar event only when you confirm. • Ask questions about a saved paper. • Mark work handled and keep the paper in a searchable archive. • Reopen, share, save a copy, or delete saved papers whenever you choose. • Keep a history of recurring bills you decide to track.
