Forward an email
The six-page newsletter with one date buried in paragraph four. Forward it to your Sense address and the date is on the calendar with the right kid's name on it. How email capture works.
AI family organizer
The AI family organizer that does the typing for you.
Forward the school email. Snap the flyer. Forward the class WhatsApp to Sense, a contact in your WhatsApp. Sense reads it, puts every date on the shared family calendar under the right kid, and runs the chores, meals, lists, and reminders around it. Free on iPhone, Android, and web.
What AI-powered means here
Most family apps make you enter everything. Sense reads it.
The schedule did not start in your head. It arrived from the school, the coach, the camp, the class group chat. Sense takes it from there, in whatever form it came.
Snap a flyer or screenshot
The birthday invite, the photo of the team schedule on the fridge, the screenshot of a text. Sense reads the picture and files the event.
Sense is in your WhatsApp
Sense is a contact in your WhatsApp. Forward "game moved to 10:30 Saturday" from the class group, a coach's photo, or a camp PDF, and Sense replies in the chat with what it added. Ask it "what does Emma have tomorrow?" in the same thread, and get the morning digest there at 7 am. How WhatsApp works with Sense.
Say it out loud
"Hey Siri, add dentist Thursday at 3 to Sense." Works with Siri and Alexa, and in the app.
Subscribe to a feed
School and team calendars that publish a feed sync on their own, every hour, with no forwarding at all.
Ask about the week
"What does Emma have Thursday?" "What am I forgetting this week?" Ask Sense answers from the calendar it built, and can add, move, or create what you ask for.
One organizer, not seven apps
Everything the family runs on, in one place.
The calendar is where it starts. It is not where it stops.
Shared family calendar
Color-coded by person, day, week, and month views, synced with Google Calendar and fed to Apple Calendar and Outlook. The AI family calendar.
Reminders
Permission slip due Friday. Leave for the game at 9:20. Reminders attach to the event and move when it moves.
Lists
Grocery, packing, back-to-school, the thing you thought of at 11 pm. Shared with whoever is at the store.
Chores, routines, rewards
Morning and bedtime routines the kids check off themselves, chores with rewards and allowance they can watch grow.
Meal plans and recipes
Plan the week, save recipes from any site or photo, and turn the plan into a shopping list. Meal planning.
Documents and medications
The vaccination record, the custody schedule, the insurance card. Filed where the family can find it, plus medication tracking.
Kid Mode
Each kid gets their own screen with today's schedule, chores, and rewards. No login, no phone, no account to manage.
Sense Hub
An old iPad, Android, or Fire tablet on the kitchen counter becomes an always-on family display. See the Hub.
Ask Sense
A chat that knows your family's schedule. Schedule questions, homework help, a recipe from what is in the fridge, a bedtime story. Also available inside ChatGPT and Claude.
How it works
Three steps. The first one is the only one you do.
Step 01
Send it
Forward, share, snap, or say it. Set up auto-forwarding from Gmail or Outlook for the senders that matter and you do not even do that.
Step 02
Sense files it
Events under the right kid. Deadlines as reminders. "Bring oranges" on the list. Every item links back to the email it came from, so you can check its work.
Step 03
Everyone sees it
Phones, web, the kitchen tablet, a morning digest of what each person has today. Your partner reads the calendar instead of asking you for it.
Compared
Three kinds of family app. Only one does the work and shares it.
Manual organizers give you a nicer place to type. AI assistants that text you a daily plan notice things but leave every action to you. Sense reads the chaos and turns it into a household the whole family runs on.

FAQ
Common questions.
What is an AI family organizer?
A family organizer where the AI does the data entry. Instead of typing every event, chore, and list item in by hand, you forward the email, snap the flyer, or share the message, and the organizer reads it and files it under the right family member. Sense also runs chores, routines, meal plans, lists, and reminders from the same place, and answers questions about the week.
Does Sense need access to my inbox?
No. Sense only reads what you send it. You forward an email, forward a WhatsApp message to the Sense contact, or snap a photo, and that is the only thing it sees. It never connects to your inbox or scans your WhatsApp groups.
Is Sense available on Android?
Yes. Sense is on iPhone and iPad, Android, and the web at app.getsense.ai, and everything stays in sync across all of them. Sense Hub display mode runs on iPad, Android, and Fire tablets.
How is Sense different from Cozi or Google Calendar?
Cozi and Google Calendar expect you to type every event in. Sense's primary input is the email, photo, or message you already received, so the intake step most families fail at disappears. Sense also syncs with Google Calendar, so you keep it and let Sense fill it.
How much does Sense cost?
Sense is free with a shared family calendar, reminders, lists, and 10 AI actions a month. Premium is $6.99 a month or $59.99 a year for the whole household, with unlimited AI capture plus chores, meal planning, medications, and allowance. No per-person pricing. Pricing.
