Braain is the shared brain for your family — an AI-powered space that remembers everything, coordinates everyone, and quietly handles the mental load no one has time for. Tell it once. It remembers forever. A soccer practice. A doctor's appointment. The babysitter's number. The Wi-Fi password. The kids' medication routine. Braain captures it, files it, and surfaces it to the right person at the right moment. WHAT BRAAIN DOES • A shared family calendar with two-way Google Calendar sync • Tasks and reminders, routed to the right person • A searchable home for notes, instructions, and household info • An AI agent that learns how your family runs — and offers to help without being asked • Proactive check-ins ("every Sunday, plan the week ahead") • Voice-first capture — just talk, Braain figures out what to do BUILT FOR HOW FAMILIES ACTUALLY WORK No more "who's picking up the kids?" group chats. No more sticky notes that disappear. No more apps that take three taps to add one thing. Braain is built around a single idea: tell the AI once, and it handles the rest. PRICING Start free. Upgrade when you need more. • Free — your whole family, basic features • Lite — add personal scheduling • Plus — full agent capabilities • Family — everything, for the whole household Built by a small team who got tired of being the family's scheduler-in-chief.

Okay, real talk: where does the time go? You sit down for "five minutes," look up, and somehow it's dark out. You know you've got stuff to do — you just can't feel how much time is left, or which thing to start first. When your brain doesn't do time, a to-do list won't save you. It's just more stuff to lose track of. Ringround shows your whole day as a circle you can actually see. Your day becomes a 24-hour dial. NOW sits at the top, the day turns underneath, and one glance tells you where you are and how long until the next thing. Time stops being invisible. What it does: • See your day at a glance — colorful blocks on a ring, not a wall of text. • Can't pick what to do? Hit Ring Round — give the dial a spin and let it choose for you. Decision made, no spiral. • Put your day on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island — a calm cylinder fills with color so you can check the time without falling into your phone. • Gentle nudges before things start. Optional. Never shouty. • Your colors, your categories, your names for things. Make it yours. Made for brains that lose time. ADHD, autistic, AuDHD, time-blind, or just perpetually "five minutes behind" — this one's for you. Ringround doesn't try to fix you or optimize you. You're not a productivity project. It just makes time something you can see, so the day stops slipping out from under you. No accounts. No ads. No subscriptions or upsells nagging you forever. Nothing ever leaves your phone. Your day's right there. It's a circle. Go take a look.
