Simplify and Shared Parenting: Coordinating Schedules Across Households

Co-parenting is a balancing act. Whether you're managing two households or just trying to keep communication smooth, staying aligned on school events, after-school activities and important dates can feel like a full-time job.

Simplify takes some of that pressure off - by making it easy to share school and activity invites with your co-parent, right through WhatsApp. No chasing, no confusion, no app juggling.

One Chat, Shared Invites

Simplify helps both parents stay informed by sending calendar invites for key events. When you forward a school email or voice note an upcoming activity, Simplify processes it and sends an invite to your calendar — and your co-parent's too, if you've added their email during setup.

Whether it's a parents’ evening, a PE day, or a school trip, both of you are looped in automatically.

No Extra App to Learn

Co-parenting tools often come with a catch: everyone has to download and commit to using them. Simplify works differently. It sits inside WhatsApp, so there’s no new app or login required.

Both parents receive calendar invites via email, meaning you don’t need to message each other to coordinate. The system quietly handles the admin in the background.

Just Say It, and It's Shared

Want to make sure both parents know about an upcoming event? Just say it naturally:

“Add parents’ evening on Tuesday at 5pm — send to James too.”

Simplify takes your instruction and sends the calendar invite to both of you, using the emails registered during setup. You don't need to copy, paste, or explain anything — it just works.

Works for Other Family Members Too

This isn’t just for co-parents. If a grandparent helps with pickups, or a nanny needs to know about an after-school club, just add their email when setting up Simplify. Any invite you want them to see can be sent to them too.

You stay in control of who gets what.

Keeps Things Simple — and Peaceful

Misunderstandings around schedules can lead to unnecessary tension:

• “I didn’t know that was today.”
• “You never told me about that meeting.”
• “I thought you were handling it.”

Simplify helps prevent these moments by ensuring both parents receive the same invites, at the same time, without relying on one person to remember or repeat everything.

Final Thought

Shared parenting is already a big task — Simplify makes the admin side easier. With shared invites handled automatically, you can spend less time coordinating and more time focusing on what matters most: your children.
