Norton Family Assistant catches what slips through, so the mental load stops living in your head. It doesn't just show you what's happening. It helps you handle it. YOUR MORNING, ALREADY SORTED Wake up to your daily brief covering each kid, school, and activity that you have connected. Daycare moved pickup to 4:00. League fees are due this week. Picture day is Thursday. You see what needs you, what can wait, and what almost slipped by, all in one place. IT TAKES ACTION, WITH YOUR OKAY This is more than a chatbot. Norton Family Assistant can find the permission slip in your school app, prepare it, and wait for your approval before anything happens. Plan the birthday party. Build the camp packing list. Draft the message to the teacher. You stay in control of every step. HANDLES THE THINGS THAT PILE UP School forms and deadlines Birthday parties and playdates Meals and grocery lists Doctor and dentist appointments Trips and packing lists WORKS WITH THE APPS YOU ALREADY USE Connects to your email, calendar, and the tools your family already relies on, including Gmail, Google Calendar, Procare, Canvas, and more.

The mental load, handled. Someone has to remember. It literally doesn't have to be you. The mental load is real. You're the family's calendar, alarm system, gift department, snack coordinator, and spirit-day early-warning system — all in your head, all the time, all unpaid. Literally Remember is the app that takes the remembering OFF your brain. Set it up once. Connect your calendar (read on your phone only — nothing ever leaves your device, and you choose exactly which calendars it sees). Then never open the app again. That's not a bug, that's the whole point. We push you what matters, before it matters: • "Maya's party" on your calendar becomes "order the gift" — 3 weeks out • Tomorrow's game becomes "uniform in the dryer TONIGHT, not at 7am" • Picture day becomes "locate the outfit tonight. You know why." • No-school days get flagged a week early, before the childcare panic • Dentist every 6 months, physicals yearly, teacher gifts twice a year — on autopilot, forever • Halloween costumes, camp registration (yes, JANUARY), flu shots, the holiday shipping cutoff — the whole seasonal gauntlet, handled before you'd have thought of it • We circle back: overdue things get a re-reminder instead of sulking at the bottom of your list — and when you start something, we point at the next step • A Monday briefing of your week, a Friday "you did things" recap, and any month planned in one sitting • A few good-morning pep talks a month. You stack of sunshine. • Tags that sort the chaos — by kid, gifts, school, health — plus any you make • Prep lists on every card: game day becomes: uniform, cleats, water bottle, snack • Widgets for your home and lock screen — this week, a countdown, or just today — and "literally done" & "remind me tonight" buttons right on every reminder Behind it: literally the bible™ — our growing playbook of every deadline, tradition, and "nobody told me" moment, built from moms who learned it the hard way. It gets smarter with every update. Pick your vibe: Snarky (recommended), Sweet, or Gentle — then dress it in seven themes, including Spooky Season, Sweater Weather, and Snow Day with thirteen hand-picked photo looks. Pick yours; it stays until you change it. Every nudge is written to make you smirk at 7am. And on Fridays at 5pm: "7 things handled this week. You go, girl" No account. No subscription. No data collected — literally, we couldn't see your stuff if we wanted to. One price, once. The mental load charges you daily. You do the loving. Let us do the remembering.
