Out of ideas, out of energy

90 minutes, low energy, twenty dollars, a seven-year-old. Three plans in ten seconds.

Type what you actually have: time, energy, budget, your kid's age and the weather. You get three real plans, each with a two-line packing list and a way to be home for dinner. It remembers last weekend, so it never repeats itself.

Who it is for

Saturday afternoon dads

The park is done, dinner is at 6:30 and the tank is empty. This is built for that hour.

Dads of 3 to 14 year olds

Plans scale with age, from puddle walks to a one-on-one with a teenager who does not want to talk.

Dads who travel for work

Back from a week away and the kid is cool with you. Start with something small that works.

How it works

  1. Set the constraints: minutes, energy 1 to 5, budget, kid's age, indoors or out.
  2. Get three plans: one at home, one outside, one wildcard. Each has a two-line prep list and a way to land the transition home.
  3. Mark what you did. Next time it builds on it and never repeats.
  4. Teen mode: five questions for the drive instead of an activity.

How this compares

Daily-mission apps for dads charge $6 to $8 a month and cover one age band. Generic chat gives you a list, not a plan for the exact hour you have.

Questions

Is this an app I have to install?

No. It runs in the browser on your phone. Nothing to install, nothing for your kid to see.

What happens with my email?

We use it to tell you when we open and to send your first plans. Nothing else. One click to unsubscribe.
