Add Your Partner to Simplify and Share the Mental Load Automatically

You Shouldn’t Have to Be the Only One Keeping Track

In most households, one parent — often mum — ends up being the go-to for everything school-related. From costume days to circulars, permission slips to snacks, the mental load of remembering it all usually lands on one person’s shoulders.

But it doesn’t have to.

Simplify was built to share that load. And with one simple feature — adding your partner to the WhatsApp chat — you can make sure you’re not the only one carrying the admin.

The Problem: You’re Always the Messenger

You receive the school email. You decode the dates. You set the reminders. Then you forward the message to your partner, hoping they read it.

Often, they don’t. Or they ask again. Or they miss it.

You end up being the calendar, the alert system, and the last-minute reminder.

It’s exhausting.

The Fix: One Shared Chat That Keeps You Both in Sync

With Simplify, you can add your partner to your WhatsApp chat — and that’s it. From that moment on:

  • They get the same reminders you do
  • They see the school events you forward
  • They get notified when something new is added
  • And they can add things themselves too

You’re no longer the admin gatekeeper. You’re both in it, equally informed, without extra work.

What This Looks Like in Real Life

Before:

You receive a newsletter on Sunday night. It includes three school events.
You forward it to your partner. They skim it, forget it, and ask again on Wednesday.

After:

You forward the newsletter to Simplify. Your partner is in the chat.
Simplify pulls out the key events and schedules reminders for both of you.
You each get a ping the night before a costume day or early morning reminder for library books — without chasing or repeating anything.

No Extra Apps. No Repeating Yourself.

Other tools offer shared calendars or task managers. But they often come with extra logins, notifications, and instructions.

Simplify keeps things easy. It’s just one WhatsApp chat.

No “Did you see the message?”
No “Can you please set a reminder?”
No “I forgot you told me about that thing on Thursday.”

Why Parents Say This Feature Changes Everything

  • “It’s the first time we’ve actually been on the same page about school stuff.”
  • “I love that I don’t have to keep asking or reminding — we both get the same info.”
  • “Even when I’m away, my partner still gets the reminders. It’s taken so much pressure off.”

How to Add Your Partner in Seconds

  1. Open your Simplify WhatsApp chat
  2. Tap the top of the chat to see group details
  3. Add your partner’s contact to the group
  4. That’s it — they’re now synced with everything Simplify organises

Start Sharing the Load Today

You don’t need to micromanage the household calendar anymore. You don’t need to be the sole memory bank for school life. And you definitely don’t need another app to try and coordinate your partner.

You just need one chat that does the remembering for both of you.

Start sharing the mental load — add your partner to Simplify and let the reminders take care of the rest.
