The problem

It's buried in a
3-page PDF.

The permission slip. The spirit day. The registration deadline. They're all in there — you're just supposed to find them yourself, on page two, in a newsletter you didn't open.

📎

PDFs nobody reads

Every school, team, and program sends dense PDF newsletters. The important stuff is on page 3.

🗓

Events that slip through

Picture day. Early dismissal. Registration cutoff. If you don't catch it, it's a missed deadline or a tearful morning.

📋

To-dos with no home

Bring cupcakes. Sign the waiver. Pay the activity fee. Things that need to happen but never make it to your list.

How it works

Three steps, then it runs itself.

KidCal works in the background so you don't have to.

1

Connect your email

Sign in with Gmail or link your inbox. KidCal only reads emails — it never sends anything.

2

KidCal reads everything

New emails arrive and KidCal scans them automatically — including PDF and Word attachments. No action from you.

3

Events & to-dos appear

Everything extracted lands in your calendar and to-do list — sorted by kid, category, and due date.

What sets it apart

Built for how family communication actually works.

Key differentiator

It actually reads the PDFs.

Most tools only scan the email body. KidCal opens every PDF and Word attachment and extracts what's inside — the hidden dates, the buried to-dos, the dress-code reminder on page two.

  • School newsletters and weekly updates
  • Sports team season schedules
  • Church bulletins and volunteer forms
  • Extracurricular calendars and sign-up sheets

More than a calendar

To-dos with actual deadlines.

A permission slip isn't an event — it's something you have to do. KidCal separates the two, flags what's urgent, and reminds you before it's too late.

  • Separated from calendar events automatically
  • Deadline alerts before things are due
  • Mark complete when you're done
  • Linked back to the original email

"I missed picture day twice this year. The newsletter was in my inbox the whole time — I just never opened the PDF. KidCal would have caught it. Signing up immediately."

"I have three kids in three different schools and a sports team. The chaos of keeping track of everything is real. The idea of something that just handles it automatically? Yes please."

"The to-do tracking is what sold me. Events I can handle. But the permission slips and payments buried in those emails? I forget them constantly. This is the missing piece."
