tuffweek
Family logistics arrive through too many doors, and one parent ends up as the human switchboard. Parents average about four school and activity emails a day, schools run ten to fifteen apps, and 70 percent of full time working parents handle parenting tasks during work. The missing piece is not a calendar. It is the work of noticing, deciding who handles it, and catching changes in time. tuffweek does that reading and noticing. The name comes from teen slang: tuff means good, and the goal is a week that runs well.

Who it is for
Built for
Parents running a household for more than one kid, sports families most of all, and the kids, who get a read only view of their own schedule.
What is in it
What we are building
- Catch. School and team emails forwarded from Gmail, photos of flyers, pasted texts, and calendar feeds from TeamSnap, Canvas, Veracross, the school and the family Google Calendar.
- Confirm. AI pulls out dates, times, places and to-dos. A parent confirms each one before it reaches the calendar; unsure items are flagged.
- Own. Every task gets an owner, so the load is visible and shared instead of sitting with one parent by default.
- Brief. A short morning brief, change alerts by text, and a read only view for each kid with only their own schedule. Kids never talk to the AI.
- Four small AI jobs, each checked: reading the mail, writing the brief, answering “what do we need for Saturday?”, and turning place names into addresses a parent picks from. All calls run on the server. Mail, photos and PDFs are read once and not stored.
- Runs on Cloudflare (Workers, D1, Email Routing, Access sign in) at a few dollars a month per family. Planned as freemium: a free tier with one feed, manual entry and the kid view; a family plan at about $9.99 a month or $79 a year.
- Two design directions on the table for the same three screens, Calm and Bold. Names and events in the mockups are placeholders.
Progress
Where it stands
- Concept
- Spec
- Prototype
- Family versionBuilt and tested locally with sample data: email intake, five calendar feeds with move and cancel detection, two way family Google Calendar, texts with quiet hours, maps, kid views, Access sign in. Not yet run with a live family or the live Claude API.
- BetaOne sports team or one school class. Live Claude API, pick a design direction, address lookup, measure AI cost. Opens when the app works for one family.
- Family planCircles for rides and backup care, away mode, campus maps. Opens when beta families keep using it and a privacy review clears it for kids’ data.
- PlatformiPhone app, direct Gmail, a texting service to replace Verizon email to text before March 2027, on device option.
