Brainfold
The parent's brain, finally on one screen — in any browser
Today's drop-offs, the forms still sitting in the house, what each kid needs to bring, their sizes and allergies, and every number you never want to hunt for. Plus a quiet tally of the invisible work you closed out. Free, no account, nothing leaves this browser.

What you can do in Brainfold on the web
A Today screen that is your queue
Activities running today with what to bring, forms due in the next three days, and anything overdue — sorted by time, one scroll, no app-hopping.
Forms vault with four honest states
Received, drafted, signed, returned. A form only leaves your head at Returned — and marking it so drops it straight onto the mental-load tally.
Weekly rotation, two-week look-ahead
Soccer Tue/Thu, piano Wed, swim Mon/Fri: set the rotation once and the next fourteen days write themselves, with the bring-list on every entry.
Kid profiles you actually reference
Age, grade, school, allergies, medications, shoe/pant/shirt/jacket size, pediatrician and emergency contact — plus that child's forms and activities.
Family contacts, tap to call
Pediatrician, school office, school nurse, after-care, the grandparent with a key — each number is a real tel: link on your phone.
Mental-load tally
Not a streak, not a shame loop: a per-day count of the things you closed out, with a two-week chart, because nobody else is counting it.

Where is my data stored?+
Only in this browser's local storage. Nothing you enter is sent to our servers, so we can't see it, back it up, or restore it. Clearing site data, a private window, or another device starts empty. Export a backup from the in-app menu to keep it.
