Pulling that together...
Pulling that together...
Ark is the family OS — a calm, capable layer over your week. It writes the morning brief, watches the calendar, runs the kid-mode chores, drops in when something's coming up (the birthday gift, the permission slip, the heavy Tuesday) — and quietly learns your family's rhythm so month six is smarter than month one.
Trusted by a growing community of families worldwide
Six things Ark does every day for the families using it. Plus a few it does behind the scenes.
A short brief in your inbox at the hour you choose. Today's events with names and times, who's behind on chores, the heads-up about Saturday's birthday party. Tone shifts gently when the family's having a hard week — Ark reads the room.
Type 'piano Thursday at 4:30 for Mia' — Ark adds it, color-codes by who, flags any clash, and folds it into the iCal feed your phone already trusts. Ask in chat to move things; Ark proposes the change and waits for your OK.
Chores earn tokens. Tokens redeem for real rewards you set yourself — extra screen time, Friday movie night, a sleepover. Streaks unlock badges. Kid Mode is PIN-protected and tablet-friendly. Parents approve completions in one tap.
Pin a tablet to the kitchen wall. Today's schedule, who has chores left, and the next birthday — always on, always quiet, no login. The dedicated Ark hardware display is on Kickstarter.
Forward the school's email — field trips, picture day, parent-teacher night. Ark reads it, adds the date, and remembers the supplies it mentioned. Permission slip due Friday? You'll see it in Wednesday's brief.
Take a photo of any flyer — soccer signups, summer camp, the carnival. Ark reads the dates and asks once if you want them on the calendar. It never adds without confirming.
Three minutes of reading. The whole day, already sorted. Tone shifts gently when you're having a hard week — Ark reads the room.

Today

Worth a look
The Science Museum permission slip is due Friday — I'll remind you again Thursday morning.

78° and sunny. Good park weather after school if anyone needs to burn off some energy.
Kid Mode is PIN-protected and tablet-friendly. Each chore tap sends tokens flying into a real 3D jar — physics, sound, the works. Streaks unlock badges. Rewards (extra screen time, Friday movie night, that big LEGO set) are ones YOU set yourself, with token costs that match the effort. No nagging required. No screen time fights. Just kids who actually want to check things off.

The tablet on the kitchen counter is in Kid Mode — PIN-protected, theme of their choosing. Each chore tapped sends tokens flying into a real 3D jar. They get the dopamine; you get the chores actually done. No nagging required.

No complex setup. No learning curve.
Names, ages, who's an admin, the chores that matter, what motivates each kid, your week's rhythm. Ark asks one thing at a time — no 30-field form.
It builds your calendar, assigns chores by age, drafts default routines, picks reasonable token values, and provisions a kid view per child. Adjust anything later by just saying so.
By morning, the brief is in your inbox, the kid view is on the kitchen tablet, and Ark's already watching the week ahead. After two or three weeks, it starts to recognize your family's patterns.
