Stop being the only one
who remembers everything.

Forward the chaos — bills, school emails, tickets, permission slips. dessence pulls out the dates and reminds you in time, before anything's due. So the running to-do list in your head can finally go quiet.

Forward your first thing →

Send one email or photo to dessence — watch it come back with the date, the amount, and a reminder already set. Free to start.

Not a blank AI you have to learn to prompt. dessence comes ready for the job — it already knows what a bill, a school form, and a due date are. No setup, nothing to train: forward one thing and it works.

What dessence does for you

One place to drop anything you can't afford to forget.

You forward it; dessence reads it, files it, reminds you before the deadline, and answers "when is that / where's the confirmation?" in one question. No folders. No tagging. No system to maintain.

This is you

You're the default parent.

You know the pediatrician's name, the field-trip form, the lunch-money signup, the birthday gift, who has practice when. It's invisible, unpaid, and it never shuts off — you're tired in a way sleep doesn't fix. And you're the one who has to keep telling your partner what's happening this week.

What you get

The load leaves your head.

Nothing slips. Reminders fire with enough lead time to actually act — not a ping at the deadline.
One question, one answer. Ask "when's the permission slip due?" and get it back in seconds, not after scrolling four apps.
Your partner sees it too. Share the household view — they answer their own questions instead of asking you.

How it works

Forward it. It does the rest.

  1. Forward it from wherever it landed — email, a photo of the paper notice, a screenshot, a voice note, or straight from your group chat.
  2. dessence reads it — pulls out the due date, the amount, and who it's for.
  3. It reminds you in time — proactively, before it's due.
  4. Ask it anything later — "where's the soccer registration confirmation?" — and it just answers.

(Features here are the proof, not the pitch — what matters is that the load leaves your head.)

You forward a school email Watch it reply: "Got it — picture-day form due Fri Oct 18, $12, for Mia. I'll remind you Wednesday."

Why the usual tools leave it on you

A calendar only knows what you remembered to type in.

So the thing you forgot to enter is exactly the thing you miss. And the "family organizers" keep letting parents down: Cozi gutted its free tier and put your own calendar behind a paywall — users called it a "bait and switch" — while the apps freeze and loop on login right when you need them. You shouldn't have to do the data entry and carry the worry.

"But what if…"

The things people ask before they try it.

What if it reads the date wrong?
You'll always see "captured ✓ · reminder set ✓" on every drop, and fixing anything is one tap — never a re-type.
I'd love an AI assistant, but I dread the long setup.
There's nothing to set up. No account to configure, no folders to build, no prompts to learn — you forward one thing and it works on your very first try. The whole product happens in your first ten seconds, not after an hour of onboarding.
Is this just one more app to maintain?
No. You don't file, sort, or tag anything. You forward; dessence does the rest.
Will my partner actually use it?
They don't set anything up — they just get the shared view and the same reminders.
This is my family's private stuff.
Your data is private and yours — you can export or delete it anytime.

What it feels like

Sunday night, and you're not lying awake running the list.

Everything's captured, nothing's coming due that you don't already know about, and your partner is finally holding their half. The mental load is off your plate.

Stop losing the things that matter.
