Notom for parents
Parenting is a constant stream of small commitments: dental appointment, swimming kit, sign the permission slip, call back the nursery. Notom catches them in the half-second you have, and gives you back your working memory.
The household has a calendar for fixed events. What the calendar doesn't catch is the half-formed commitment: "I need to call mum about the holiday plans, pick up the prescription before Friday, and the nursery wanted me to read that handbook". Those are the things that float around your head until they get lost.
Type the sentence into Notom. Exactly as you'd say it to yourself, and three actions land in your Actions tab, dates resolved, linked back to the note. No calendar event, no parent-task-app workflow, no system to maintain. Just the sentence and the surfaced commitments.
Parents don't write things down at a desk. You write them down at the school gate, in the supermarket, halfway through making dinner with a kid on one hip. The capture surface has to be one tap away and survive being interrupted at any moment.
Notom opens to a single input field. No splash screens, no project picker, no template chooser. You type with your thumb, hit save, lock the phone. If you got interrupted before saving, what you've typed stays in the field next time you open the app.
Most apps want you to pick a date from a calendar. As a parent, you don't think in dates. You think in "by Friday", "before next week", "end of the month". Notom understands all of those and resolves them to the right day in your local timezone.
The original phrase ("before Friday") stays attached to the action, so on Thursday the action reads "pick up prescription. Before Friday. Fri 31 Oct". On Saturday, once it's overdue, Notom hides the original "before Friday" wording. A stale promise is unhelpful, and just shows you the overdue status.
Most to-do apps default to "everything you've ever added", which means opening it triggers a wave of guilt about every thing you didn't do. The list becomes a monument to your failures rather than a tool for today.
Notom has a One view: just the next-most-imminent thing, big, with a Done button. The full Actions list is one tap away if you want it, organised by Overdue, Today, This Week. The opening screen is "what's next". Not "look at everything you haven't done".

Reactions
“School-gate brain dumps actually survive now. Mid-shower epiphanies too. It's a small relief I didn't know I needed.”
“My partner thinks I've got a system. Really I just have a tool that doesn't punish me for opening it half-formed.”
FAQ
Not at launch. Notom is single-user. Shared lists between partners / family are on the roadmap. In the meantime, Notom is the personal layer; a family-shared list (Apple Notes shared folder, Reminders shared list) lives alongside for the truly joint stuff.
Notom resolves natural-language dates like "before Friday", "end of term", "on Tuesday week" against your working week. School-term awareness is not a specific feature. It works because phrases like "before the end of term" map to a specific resolvable date as long as you mention when.

Yes. The PWA's share sheet gets you to a single capture field in one tap. Type, save, done. The AI extraction runs in the background; the app gets out of your way.
No. AI inference runs only when you save a note, only against our AI provider. Your notes are not sold, mined, or used to train models. Each AI-extracted action stays linked to the note it came from so you can always see why it appeared.
