Ask any parent today and they’ll tell you — they’ve tried it all. Calendar apps. Reminder apps. Shopping lists. Family planners. All promising to make life easier, but often ending up as one more thing to manage.
Now, many are doing the opposite. Instead of adding more apps, they’re simplifying. The tool? WhatsApp. And leading the way is Simplify — a family assistant that works entirely through it.
Here’s why so many parents are making the switch.
Most families use a mix of apps to manage life:
It sounds productive. In reality, it’s draining. You end up spending more time switching between apps than actually using them.
And let’s be honest — not everyone in the family uses the same tools. One parent prefers Google Calendar, the other uses a paper diary, and the kids don’t open anything unless it’s WhatsApp or YouTube.
This is where Simplify changes things.
It doesn’t ask you to download anything new. It doesn’t need a tutorial. It just joins your WhatsApp as a chat — like another contact that actually helps you stay on top of things.
And because everyone already uses WhatsApp, there’s no convincing or chasing. It works with the way your family already communicates.
Let’s say you’re at school pickup and your child reminds you it’s costume day next Friday. Instead of trying to remember to open your calendar later, you just send a voice note to Simplify:
“Remind me it’s costume day next Friday.”
It’ll add it to your calendar, send you an email invite, and if your partner is added — they get it too.
There’s no switching apps. No copying and pasting. It just works.
Traditional apps strip out the context. You end up with a reminder that says “Buy PE kit” but no memory of when, why, or which child it was for.
In WhatsApp, that note lives in a thread with everything else — your chat history, other reminders, voice notes. It’s all connected, and that makes it easier to remember what actually matters.
Simplify doesn’t make you throw out your email, your Google calendar, or the way you already plan. It works with them — sending calendar invites to your usual inbox and letting you keep your existing tools.
The difference? Now you don’t have to manually do everything. You say it once and it’s sorted.
Traditional apps love features. Colour-coding. Multi-tab views. Custom tags. But let’s be real — most parents don’t want more features. They want less effort.
Simplify is quiet in the background. You say what you need, and it handles the organisation behind the scenes. No dashboards. No decisions. No settings to tweak. Just help when you ask for it.
Because it’s on WhatsApp, the whole family can get involved. You’re not trying to teach your partner how to use another new tool or getting your teenager to open an app. Everyone’s already on board, just by using what they already use.
The problem with most family apps is they add to your load, not take it off. Simplify flips that. It works where you already are, in WhatsApp, and takes care of the small stuff — so you can focus on the big stuff.
