The carpool that schedules itself. Set it up once, get a fair driving schedule for the season, and keep it running as plans change. No grids, no spreadsheets, no group-text math. Carpool Scheduler builds a fair driving schedule for your season from each family's availability. You set up the schedule, the families tell the app when they can drive in their own words, and a smart scheduling engine does the rest. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set up your season. A guided setup takes about two minutes. Enter the recurring practices, add one-off games, and list the families. 2. Invite the drivers in your carpool. Each family opens your link in their phone's browser. No install, no account, no password. 3. Everyone describes their availability in their own words. "We can do most Tuesdays, but Fridays are hard." AI reads what they wrote, and each family confirms the result on a simple grid before it counts. 4. Generate the schedule. The engine assigns every drop-off and pickup for the season, and everyone can see who is driving when. WHAT MAKES IT FAIR The engine follows fixed rules, in order: - It never gives a family a slot they said they can't do. - It keeps trip counts even. Each drop-off and each pickup counts as its own trip. - It follows preferences when they do not reduce fairness. - It spreads the types of trips, so one family does not get every Friday evening pickup. - It avoids stacking one family's trips into the same week. The schedule is honest about the hard parts. If trips don't divide evenly, it shows who drives the extra one. If no family can cover a slot, it marks the slot as needing a driver instead of assigning it to someone who said no. MANAGE THE WHOLE SEASON The schedule stays put once it's made, so families can plan around it. When drivers trade a day, anyone in the carpool can record the change with a tap. The schedule shows what changed and who was originally assigned, and the trip counts update to match. The app drafts the group text for you, ready to send. Games get rescheduled and practices get rained out; you can add, change, or remove events all season, and the fairness picture stays honest. CALENDAR Each person gets a personal calendar feed to subscribe to in Apple Calendar or Google Calendar, with their own driving days marked. The schedule in the app is always the current one. WHO IT'S FOR Parents who organize carpools for school, sports, and other recurring activities. Organizing requires an iPhone. The families you invite just need a phone with a browser. Free during early access. Paid plans may come later, but nothing about pricing is decided yet. Questions? hello@carpoolscheduler.com

WeeksLeft turns your whole life into a single grid — one dot for every week you have lived, and every week you likely have left. Then it gives you somewhere to write them down. A JOURNAL, WEEK BY WEEK Tap any dot and write. No streaks to break and no daily guilt — a week is a forgiving unit. Add how you felt, tag the entry, attach a photo, and that week stops being a dot and starts being a memory. Writing is unlimited and free, forever. YOUR LIFE AT A GLANCE Life expectancy personalized by gender and country (WHO data for 21 regions), drawn as a grid you can pinch to zoom between days, weeks, months and years. Every phase is color-coded — childhood, teens, young adult, midlife and beyond. MOODS THAT ADD UP Record how each week felt and watch the pattern surface: charts of your year, your best stretches, and the seasons you would otherwise forget. Give each mood its own symbol, emoji, or a sticker cut from one of your own photos. REFLECTIONS WRITTEN ON DEVICE Ask the app what it notices in your entries and it answers using the on-device model built into iPhone. Nothing leaves your device. No account, no server, nothing learned from your life. KNOW WHERE YOUR TIME GOES See how many years you have already spent sleeping, eating, working, commuting and looking at screens — from real averages and your own schedule. TRACK WHAT MATTERS • Hours per day — see what an activity will cost you in years • Recurring events — count the birthdays, summers and haircuts you have left • Quit tracker — days free from a habit, and money saved climbing in real time Add a target date and a countdown grid fills in day by day. WIDGETS FOR YOUR HOME SCREEN Small, medium, large, lock screen and a standalone countdown. Fill any slot with a built-in stat or a tracker of your own. Quit widgets show days free and money saved; calendar widgets fill in the hours left today, the days left this week, and the days left this month. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your entries and photos sync across your devices through your own iCloud account. They never touch a server of ours, because there isn't one. WEEKSLEFT PRO Free forever: the grid, unlimited journal entries, moods and tags, one tracker, and your first reflection. Pro adds a photo on every week, bulk import from your photo library, unlimited on-device reflections, stickers for all five moods, unlimited trackers, the quit tracker, target dates, 4x4 Goal Bingo, and every widget size. • Monthly — $3.99 per month, first 2 weeks free • Yearly — $19.99 per year, first 3 months free One free trial per Apple Account.
