Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built Fred because family admin was quietly eating my life: the school emails, the permission slips, the £2 for non-uniform day, whose turn it is for pickup. Every tool wanted my family to adopt an app. Nobody wanted another app.
So Fred is just a WhatsApp contact. You text it like a friend - forward the email, snap the letter, leave a voice note while carrying shopping - and it remembers who's in your family, files the dates, syncs the calendar, and nudges the right parent at the right time. The whole household shares one Fred, so "did anyone reply to the party invite?" finally has an answer.
A year of building with real families went into the unglamorous parts: it knows UK term dates, reads the school's PDF newsletter, and answers "what's on for Mia tomorrow?" without re-asking who Mia is.
Honest notes: it's UK-first today (term dates, school-year logic - the rest works anywhere WhatsApp does). It's priced like the PA it replaces, not another £4.99 subscription - one price for the whole household, first month free, no card. And if you leave, one message deletes everything Fred knows.
I'll be here all day - ask me anything, especially the awkward questions.
