Commonomy keeps the whole household in sync: when, who and how much. And como, its AI assistant, does most of the typing for you. COMMO, THE ASSISTANT Forward a message from the class group, snap a timetable or a school letter, or upload a card statement. como finds the events, tasks and payments in it, with the date, the time and the child they belong to, and waits for your OK. Nothing is added without a tap. Write to it in your own words too: "remind me to buy a present on Thursday". COMMO ON WHATSAPP Connect once, then forward messages, photos and PDFs straight from your groups. como replies with what it understood and files it in the calendar, tasks and money. Ask it "what do we have tomorrow?" ONE FAMILY CALENDAR Events for everyone, a week for each child with their school timetable, holidays and school vacations. Children in two homes? Set the custody pattern once and every day colours itself. Days can sync to your phone's calendar. TASKS AND PROJECTS Shared to-dos with an owner, a date and a reminder, repeating tasks, and projects with steps for the bigger things: a birthday, a move, a bar mitzvah. MONEY Record what was spent, or let como read the receipt or the statement. See where the money went each month; with two households, the app works out who owes whom. FREE DAYS See when you, family and friends are all free, and plan something together. RECORDS AND DOCUMENTS Conversation threads by topic, and documents in one place.
