Turn everyday details into plans. MemryVela helps you turn emails, texts, screenshots, images and calendar invitations into dates and to-dos you can review and organize with your family. Free to use. No subscription required. SHARE. REVIEW. PLAN TOGETHER. Forward an email to your Memry forwarding address, or share content to the app from your phone's share sheet. A text with a date, an image shared on WhatsApp, a calendar invitation or a school notice can be the starting point for your next plan. You can also type a plan yourself, like "Soccer every Tuesday at 6 for 8 weeks." Memry adds the dates it finds to your shared calendar. Open any event to check the details, edit them, or reject it if it isn't happening. ASK MEMRY Ask what's coming up, what still needs a hand, or who's taking whom where. Memry answers only from your household's own plans and messages, shows where each line came from, and tells you when it isn't sure. BRIEFINGS Every evening at 6 PM you get a short look at tomorrow, and on Sunday at 5 PM the week ahead. Your briefing is always on the Ask tab, and you can turn either one off in Settings. REPEATS, CHANGES, REMINDERS AND HAND-OFFS - A weekly practice or a monthly appointment is one repeating plan. Edit one date or the whole series. - When a message moves a time, changes a place or calls something off, Memry updates the plan and shows what it was before. If it isn't sure, it asks you first. - Memry sets up to one well-timed reminder for each new plan, and you can add your own. - Choose who handles each plan. That person gets the reminders and a heads-up when it lands on them. - Mark plans and to-dos done so everyone can see what's taken care of. EVERYDAY DETAILS, ONE ORGANIZED PLACE - Bring emails, texts, screenshots, images and calendar invitations into your planning workflow - Review extracted dates and to-dos before acting on them - See upcoming events and open action items in one place - Share household information with the family members you invite - Connect Google Calendar to sync approved events - See the week ahead on your shared calendar GET STARTED 1.
