Automate my life
A pickup schedule. A chore chart the kids actually use. A game that drills the spelling list. A site for the reunion, the team, the fundraiser, the family recipes. Every one built by hand for how your family actually works — not whatever an app decided you needed. Starting at $40.

A short list of a long list
This isn't a menu, it's a sample. If your thing isn't here, it's probably close to something that is — and the answer is usually yes.
Who's got Thursday, without sixteen texts to find out.
Kids check things off, the tally runs itself, nobody argues about it.
A game built around exactly what your kid is stuck on — spelling list, times tables, state capitals.
Practices, games, work trips, custody weekends. It sends the reminders so you don't have to.
Snacks, volunteer shifts, potluck dishes, field trip drivers. Claim a slot from your phone.
Sponsor tiers, logo uploads, real checkout. No more chasing Venmo screenshots.
Every family, number, and who's allowed to pick up whom, updated by the parents.
Invites, RSVPs, directions, photos. One link you text to everybody.
Room by room, with photos, serial numbers, and receipts. The list you'll be very glad you already made.
Builds itself from the meals you actually cook, sorted by aisle, shared with whoever's at the store.
Recipes, photos, and stories in one place the grandparents can actually use.
Itinerary, packing list, tickets, and who's meeting where.
Can we afford this? Simple tools that hand you a real number instead of a lecture.
Aging parents' appointments, a book club, a neighborhood watch list. Just ask.
Most of these are a weekend of work.
One example
Here's a carpool one I built recently. Parents claim the days they can drive, everyone with the share code sees the same schedule, and nobody is stuck playing dispatcher at nine at night. Yours would look nothing like this — that's the point.
Every app needs accounts, invites, and three people who never set it up. Everything I build is a link. You text it to the group and you're done.
Real families have split weeks, two schools, a kid in travel ball, and a grandmother who needs the big-text version. Custom means it fits the actual situation.
You don't need a productivity suite. You need the one screen that answers the one question everyone keeps asking you.
No subscription creeping up every year, no company sunsetting the feature you rely on. It's yours, and it keeps working.
What it costs
This isn't the part of my work that pays the bills, and I'd rather it stay affordable than turn into a subscription you resent. Nothing here is a template — it's made for your situation, at a price that doesn't require a conversation with your spouse.
A single-screen tool — a schedule, a chore chart, a countdown, a practice game — starts at $40. Bigger builds with sign-ups, logins, or payments cost more, and you'll get the flat price before I start. Either way it's built by hand for you, and you own it when it's done. Schools, teams, and neighborhood groups: ask, I do a lot of these at cost.
How it goes
A phone call or a long text, whichever is easier. Describe what happens now and why it's making you crazy.
Usually a weekend. You look at it, tell me what's wrong, and I fix it before anyone else sees it.
Send it to the group. That's the whole setup. No downloads, no accounts, nothing for anyone else to figure out.
Free to ask
Describe it however it comes out. I'll tell you whether it's worth building, roughly what it'd cost, and how long it'd take. If a free app already does it well, I'll say that instead — it happens more than you'd think.
