AI organizes it. You approve it.

Turn every school message into a plan your family can follow.

Plancove is an iPhone app for parents and caregivers. Share or forward a school email, newsletter, screenshot, PDF, or app notice, and it pulls out the dates, forms, payments, things to bring, and early dismissals — then you verify everything before it reaches your family's plan.

The problem

The school plan should not live in your head.

Important information arrives everywhere: email, school apps, chat messages, PDFs, screenshots, photos, paper notices, newsletters. And then the real work starts.

How it works

From school message to family plan.

1

Send it to Plancove

Tap Share on an email, screenshot, photo, PDF, link, or school-app notice and send it to Plancove. Or forward the school's emails to your private Plancove address and let them arrive on their own.

2

Find what actually matters

Plancove identifies dates, deadlines, payments, forms, items to bring, pickup changes, and preparation steps, and shows you where each one came from.

3

Your plan. Your final say.

Review every detail against the original message before saving. Anything unclear is flagged for you to confirm, never guessed silently.

4

Know what's next

Keep your family plan clear, shared, and ready for school-day changes, with reminders that arrive before things are needed, not after.

Automatic capture

The school's emails, handled before you open them.

Every family gets its own private Plancove address. Forward the school's emails there once, or set your inbox to do it automatically, and each newsletter, notice, and deadline arrives as a plan you simply review. No share sheet, no copy-paste, nothing missed at the bottom of a long email.

✓
Your private address. A private forwarding address created for your family.
✓
Only school messages become plans. Marketing, receipts, and personal mail are ignored, never turned into a plan.
✓
You approve new senders. The first time an unknown sender forwards in, Plancove asks before trusting them.

Preparation

Arrive ready, not just on time.

Calendar events tell you when something happens. Plancove helps you prepare before it does: forms signed, payments made, clothes ready, bags packed, pickup covered.

Changes & corrections

Plans change. Plancove keeps up.

When the school sends a correction, Plancove helps update the existing plan instead of creating duplicates and stale reminders. You review the change, then everything downstream follows.

Privacy

Your messages are not advertising data.

Plancove never connects to your inbox. Shared images and PDFs are read on your iPhone, and only their text is sent for processing. Your messages are never used to train AI models.

How Plancove works without inbox access →
No inbox access
Plancove never connects to your email account. It sees only what you share, or what is forwarded to your family's private address.
Images stay on your iPhone
For screenshots, photos, and PDFs you share, your phone reads the text and sends only that. The file itself never leaves the device. Forwarded email follows a different path.
No ad tech, no model training
The app carries no third-party advertising, attribution, or analytics software, and content sent for extraction is never used to train AI models.

From parents

What families say.

“Mostly I use it so I don't have to go digging through school emails at bedtime. There's always something they need to bring in.”
“We already had a shared calendar. I was just the only person putting anything in it. This has helped with that.”
“Honestly the reminders about forms are probably the best bit for me. I'll remember the actual school trip. The form sitting in the bottom of the bag, less so.”
“Took a little getting used to checking what it pulled out, but I like it. Easier than reading the whole newsletter again to find one date.”
“My partner found this and I thought, great, another app we'll use for a week. We're actually still using it.”
“I've got one child in nursery and one at school and I mix their stuff up all the time. It's nice to check what's needed tomorrow without opening three different things.”
Questions

The things parents ask first.

Does Plancove work with my child's school?

It does not connect to the school at all, so there is nothing for the school to set up. You share or forward whatever the school already sends you — an email, a screenshot, a PDF, a photo of a paper notice, or a message from the school's own app.

My school uses an app, not email. Can I still use it?

Yes. Use that app's share button and pick Plancove, or screenshot the notice and share the image. Plancove reads the text either way.

What kinds of messages can I share with Plancove?

Emails, newsletters, PDFs, screenshots, photos of paper notices, web links, and notices from a school app. Share them from the app they arrive in, or forward emails to your family's private Plancove address. Plancove reads the text and proposes plan items for you to review.

What does Plancove pull out of a message?

Dates and events, deadlines for forms and replies, payments, things to bring or wear, pickup and dismissal changes, and the preparation steps before each one. Every item shows where in the message it came from, and anything unclear is flagged for you to confirm rather than guessed.

Do you read my whole inbox?

No. Plancove never connects to your mailbox. Your family gets its own private forwarding address, and only what is forwarded there arrives. The first time an unknown sender forwards in, Plancove asks before trusting them.

What does it cost?

$4.99 per month or $39.99 per year, covering everyone in your family — both parents, every caregiver, every child. The first 14 days are free and you can cancel any time.

Does my partner pay separately?

No. One subscription covers the whole family. Invite them and they see the same plan on their own phone.

Does it work with more than one child, or with nursery and school?

Yes. Each child has their own plan, and a single item can belong to several children at once, so a whole-school closure shows up for everyone while a class trip shows up only for the child it concerns. Any message that asks something of you works, whether it comes from a nursery, a preschool, or a school.

Does Plancove change or reply to the school's message?

No. Plancove never replies to the school, submits forms, or makes payments. The original message stays where it arrived. Plancove keeps its own copy of the text you shared so that each plan item can point back to the exact words it came from.

Is it only on iPhone?

Yes, for now. Plancove is an iPhone app.

What if the school changes the date?

Forward the correction. Plancove updates the item you already saved instead of creating a duplicate, moves the reminders that depended on it, and shows you the change before applying it.
