For busy school families
Upload a long newsletter, PDF or screenshot. Briefly finds each date, puts it under the right child, and warns you when two plans clash. You check everything before it saves.

The problem
School notices bury the dates inside long paragraphs. You read it all, then read it again to be sure.

Reads · Example
Briefly finds the dates and tasks in a long PDF, photo or screenshot, and leaves the noise out.

Sorted
Briefly reads the school, year group and activity in each notice, and puts the notice in that child’s lane.
Clashes · Example
When two events for the same child overlap, Briefly flags both. Change one, or keep both.
Same child, same time
Changes · Example
Briefly checks each new notice against the events you already saved. When it finds a match, you update that event instead of adding a copy.
Updates 1 saved event · No duplicate
Review · Example
Check each date against the notice. Keep what matters and leave the rest out.
