Printed text
Flyers, signs, posters, schedules, postcards. The cleanest signal.
Photo to calendar
Snap a flyer. The dates land on your calendar.
Take a picture of any schedule, sign, whiteboard, or handwritten note. Sense's AI reads the photo and adds the dates to your family calendar.
How it works
From paper to calendar.
Step 01
Open Sense chat, tap attach
Choose Camera to snap right now, or Photo Library for an image you took earlier.
Step 02
Sense reads the image
Printed text, handwriting, mixed layouts. Multiple dates in one photo all get pulled together.
Step 03
Review and save
Each extracted event shows what Sense saw. Tap save, edit, or skip - then it's on your family calendar.
What it works with
Anything you can point a camera at.
Handwriting
Neat handwriting reads well. Messy handwriting works but check the extracted event before saving.
Whiteboards and chalkboards
Straight-on angle works best. School pickup whiteboards, classroom chalkboards, gym schedules.
Photos of screens
Friend's phone showing an invite, a laptop showing a webpage. Just photo the screen.
Multiple dates per photo
A fridge calendar with the whole month of birthdays gets every date pulled separately.
Multiple languages
Sense reads English, Spanish, Hindi, French, and more. A flyer in any of them parses cleanly.
Common examples
The photos parents actually take.
-
The school pickup whiteboard
"Picture Day Thursday." "No school Monday." Snap walking out the door.
-
A fridge calendar at grandma's
Family birthdays inked in. Photo once - they nudge you every year.
-
A library or gym poster
Storytime schedules, class times, special events. The walls of places you visit weekly.
-
A handwritten permission slip
"Field trip Friday!" scrawled by your kid. Sense surfaces it before Friday.
-
A dentist follow-up card
The card with "next visit: October 14" scribbled on it. One photo, one appointment.
-
A coach's chalkboard
Practice schedule changes drawn on the wall at the rink or gym.
FAQ
Common questions.
Can Sense read handwriting in photos?
Yes. Sense reads neat handwriting on whiteboards, dry-erase calendars, and notes. Messy handwriting is hit-or-miss - check the extracted event before saving and tap to edit if anything is off.
Does the photo have to be a flyer or schedule?
No. Any photo with dates in it works - a sign at the gym, a chalkboard at a coffee shop, a screenshot of a calendar, a business card with a follow-up date scribbled on it.
Where do I upload the photo?
Open Sense's chat tab and tap the attach icon. Choose Camera to snap a new photo or Photo Library to pick an existing one. Sense extracts the events and adds them to your family calendar in seconds.
Does it work offline?
No. The AI extraction runs server-side, so Sense needs a connection when you upload. The photo itself can be taken offline and uploaded later when you're back online.
Point. Shoot. Done.
