A 7am brief that quietly reads every parent-relevant email — school, doctor, sports, classroom thread — pulls the deadlines, drafts the replies in your voice, and even catches the things you already swiped into trash.
🔒 Read-only Gmail via Google OAuth. We never see or store your password, and your email content isn't kept, trained on, or shared. How we handle your data →
Two real deadlines this week — and you almost deleted one of them.
Mental load isn't a to-do list — it's the constant feeling that something important is slipping. This is the one that catches it.
Pulls deadlines, RSVPs, permission slips, and "by Friday" out of every parent-relevant email. Sorted by what blows up first.
For emails that need a reply — chaperone signups, teacher follow-ups — Parents Circle drafts your reply using your past emails as voice. One-tap to send.
You read it, swiped to delete, meant to deal with it later, forgot. We still surface the action — with a "was in trash" tag, so you know.
We treat your Gmail the way you'd treat your kid's diary — read it carefully when you need to, and then put it back exactly where it was.
Sign-in is Google OAuth — Google holds your password, not us. We only receive a read-only access token that you can revoke from your Google account at any time, instantly killing our access.
We cannot send email from your account, delete anything, or modify a single message. Google's scope system enforces it — not a promise we can break, a permission we don't have.
The pipeline reads your last 24 hours of email each morning, generates your brief, and discards every subject, body, and sender. No archive. No backup. The brief is all that remains.
Your data isn't fed back into any model and isn't shared with any third party for any purpose. The AI processing happens with providers that explicitly don't train on prompts.
From sign-in to first brief: about two minutes.
Grant read-only Gmail access. We never store the messages — we read, summarize, and discard.
Default 7am in your timezone — the brief lands before your day starts. Hit "Send me a brief now" anytime to try it on a real morning.
One brief, every morning. Tap 👍 / 👎 / "what was off" at the bottom — that's how tomorrow's brief gets better.
We're in private beta. Drop your Gmail and I'll add you within a day or two.
Each morning, the pipeline pulls your last 24 hours of mail via Google's read-only Gmail API and passes each parent-relevant message through an LLM (Gemini) to extract structured items: action, deadline, location, etc. The raw email text is held in memory only for the seconds it takes to run, then discarded. We don't archive it, we don't index it, we don't train on it, and we don't share it. The brief you see is all that remains.
Two things, both instant. (1) Go to myaccount.google.com/permissions, find Parents Circle, click Remove Access. We can no longer fetch your email — period. (2) Email service@parentscircleapp.com and we'll delete your row from our database within 48 hours. No retention games.
No — and Google won't let us even if we wanted to. The OAuth scope we request is gmail.readonly, which is exactly what it sounds like. Drafts shown in the brief are pre-filled email composer links (mailto:) — your real Gmail composes the message; we never touch send.
About 70% of US parents use Gmail, so the wedge lands there first. Outlook / iCloud / Yahoo are technically possible — they'll come after the Gmail experience earns its keep.
Most digest apps make you enter the data manually — they're calendars with extra steps. Parents Circle reads your email FOR you, including the messages you already deleted, and drafts your replies in your own voice. There's nothing to "set up."
Not yet. Each person has their own Gmail-tied account today. Shared briefs and partner-sync are on the list — write that in the access request if it matters to you.
Free during the private beta. Will probably be ~$10–15/month later — pricing will be set once a few dozen people have lived with it for a month.
