Does forgetfulness impact you and your family?
Family Folder is a web app where your family can manage tasks, events, photos, discussions, documents, and frequently asked questions, all accessible to everyone in your family. Or at least everyone who you want to give access to 👀.
I don’t miss appointments, that much 😄, but I do often forget the details-like dates, times, and places. When I do forget I’m guilty of repeatedly asking my wife for reminders. “What date is that wedding we are going to again?” “When is that wedding?”. She's usually happy to help, but occasionally, I've heard the answer through gritted teeth.
And while I don’t lose important documents like insurance certificates or bank statements, I do misplace them. When I need one, I can never seem to find it. Even our shared physical family folder gets so overcrowded that finding something means emptying its entire contents onto the floor and putting items back one by one.
Family life is a constant stream of new inputs, activities, responsibilities, and schedules. Your family isn't a business and you're not a project manager, but sometimes it feels like you should be. Forgetfulness can quickly snowball into stress, missed opportunities, and unnecessary chaos.
That's why I created Family Folder. Signup here, it's free for 30 days.
I'm not saying that it's going to solve all your families organisational problems or help you decide who's cooking dinner tonight, but it will help with the organisation part.
The Struggles of Everyday Family Life
Family life, at least in my experience, grows more demanding every day-sometimes by the hour. There are work schedules, school events, extracurricular activities, endless house projects, and the creche calling during that meeting you can't miss to tell you that baby number 1 has a temperature. It's like information overload for parents, with more information piled on top. Here's a few examples of how things can fall through the cracks:
- Missed Appointments: From dentist visits to parent-teacher meetings, keeping track of everyone’s calendar can feel like an impossible task.
- Lost Documents: Misplacing medical records, school notes, or important bills adds unnecessary stress and wastes precious time.
- Disorganised Tasks: Whether it’s forgetting to get milk or not putting extra nappies in the baby bag incomplete to-dos can seriously interrupt your day-and a dinner.
- Event Confusion: Coordinating who’s bringing what to the family BBQ or remembering Aunt Lisa’s birthday often gets overlooked or forgotten altogether.
These moments all add up, creating stress and tension where you least need it.
How Family Folder Solves the Problem
I created Family Folder to give my family-and yours-a little extra support amidst the chaos. Hopefully it will help you to:
• Centralise Information: Store all your family’s documents, calendars, and notes in one easy-to-access place. No more digging through piles of papers or endlessly scrolling through emails.
• Share Tasks and Events: Assign responsibilities and share calendars so everyone stays on the same page. Need someone to grab groceries or book a repair appointment or find the WiFi code? It’s all in the app.
• Provide Peace of Mind: With everything organised and accessible, you’ll never have to worry about forgetting an important detail again.
A More Organised Family Life
Picture this: Instead of scrambling to remember whether soccer practice is at 4:00 or 5:00, you can open Family Folder and check in seconds. When your partner needs that car insurance document, it’s right there in the app. And when it’s time to plan a family event, everyone has the details at their fingertips.
Family Folder helps to turn the chaos of family life into something a little more manageable, freeing you to focus on what really matters—spending time together.
