RosterKin lives in your family group chat. It reads the school and club emails so you don't have to, flags the deadlines and payments before they slip, adds confirmed bookings to your calendar, and drafts the fiddly replies. You just tap approve.

Trip forms. "Reply by Friday." A payment due at the office. Kit lists. Holiday-club places that sell out by lunchtime. It arrives across a shared inbox and lands on whichever one of you happens to open it, and the things that slip are the ones that cost you.
Link your shared Gmail and your family's group chat from the dashboard. About two minutes. You can add more than one inbox.
It reads new mail (strictly read-only, never marking or replying on its own) and posts what matters to your group: deadlines, payments, and bookings.
Confirmed bookings go straight to your shared calendar. Anything that would send an email is drafted and waits for your tap. Nothing leaves without you.
Deadlines and payments surfaced the day they land, marked clearly (a reply-by date, an amount due), not buried in a thread.
A confirmed booking is added automatically, with an Undo button. If it clashes with something, RosterKin flags it rather than hiding it.
"Ask the nursery when Tom starts pre-school." RosterKin writes the email in your voice, you read it and approve before a single word is sent.
One shared assistant, one shared view. No more "did you see that email?" or two people chasing the same form.
"Any holiday clubs for Maya within 10 miles?" RosterKin checks your saved clubs by age and distance, and can look for new ones.
The non-urgent things batched into one message at a time you choose, with quiet hours respected. Only the urgent stuff interrupts.
This is your family's information, so safety isn't a feature, it's the starting point.
Every outgoing email waits for an explicit tap. RosterKin has no way to send an email on its own, the approval isn't a setting, it's how it's built.
RosterKin reads to understand and never changes your mail. Nothing is marked read, no labels are touched, nothing is deleted.
Processed and stored in London (AWS, eu-west-2). Inbox access is encrypted at rest, and we store short summaries, not the emails themselves.
Export or delete everything, any time, from the dashboard. We revoke Google access and purge your data, no email to send, no waiting.
RosterKin is early. We're opening it to a small group of families for three months, at no cost, to get it right with real school runs and real inboxes.
Yes, free for pilot families, for the full three months, with no card required. We'll always be upfront before anything changes.
Today RosterKin lives in a shared Telegram group: it's free, private, and takes a minute to set up. Under the hood RosterKin is built to be channel-agnostic, so WhatsApp or an in-app chat can be added without rebuilding anything. Tell us what your family already uses in the notes and we'll prioritise it.
Only Telegram (free). You make a group for your family, add RosterKin' bot, and link it once, both parents in the same chat. No separate RosterKin app to install.
Only the shared inbox you connect. It reads mail to classify it and stores a short summary plus the sender and date, not the emails themselves. It never marks your mail read, changes labels, or touches inboxes you don't connect.
Never. Every outbound email (to a club, a school, anyone) is drafted and waits in your group until someone taps Approve. RosterKin has no way to send on its own, and it never starts a payment.
In the EU (London), encrypted. Your Google sign-in is encrypted at rest and never logged, and we keep summaries rather than your emails. Because this is children's information, we hold it to the UK Children's Code and UK GDPR.
Any time, in one click from the dashboard. We revoke Google's access and purge your data, including your children's details. Export first if you'd like a copy.
You see the exact email (recipient, subject, full text) before anything sends. Edit it, or bin it. Nothing leaves without your tap.
