For families · in development

You can't remember how to do it either. That's fine.

Somewhere around seventh grade the homework stopped being something you could help with from memory. A family plan gives your kid a step-by-step check on their own work — and gives you a short weekly note on how it's genuinely going, without either of you having to have the argument.

No account, no card. One email when there’s something to show you.

The awkward bit about homework help

A tool that hands your child the answer is worse than no tool. You know it, they know it, and it's the reason most parents are wary of this whole category.

So the thing we built checks work that's already been done. Your kid does the problem, photographs their working, and gets told which line went wrong and why — not the answer. If they haven't done the work, there's nothing to check.

What the family plan would add

  • One plan, all your kids. Rather than a separate subscription each, or one account quietly shared between three of them.
  • A weekly note to you, not to them. What they worked on, where they kept getting stuck, whether it's improving. Three sentences on a Sunday, not a dashboard you have to remember to open.
  • Told, not spied on. Your kid knows the summary exists and can see exactly what it says. A tool that reports on them secretly is one they'll route around within a week, and they'd be right to.
  • You're the account holder. You pay, you control it, and it isn't tied to a teenager's email address they'll lose access to in September.

What you'd actually see

This week: 14 problems, mostly quadratics. Six were correct first time. The recurring issue is sign handling when factoring — same slip four times. Worth ten minutes on that specifically.

That's the whole thing. Enough to know whether to step in, without having to relearn the quadratic formula on a Tuesday night.

Honest about the limits

  • It reads handwriting well, but not perfectly — it shows what it read before it says anything else.
  • It won't teach a topic from zero. It checks work and explains the step that broke. If your child hasn't been taught the material yet, they need a teacher or a tutor, not this.
  • It's a browser extension today, so it fits homework done on a laptop better than homework done on paper at the kitchen table.

Why ask first

Almost everyone paying us right now is a student who found us themselves and put it on their own card. We think parents are the people this should actually be sold to — but we'd rather hear that from parents than assume it.

There's nothing to buy on this page. Today we sell single plans to students directly; the family version — one subscription across your kids, with the weekly summary going to you — isn't built. We're counting how many parents want it first. If we don't build it, we'll email you and say so.
