Tandem: The Family Operating System

Why it surfaced

Its sharpest idea is refusing to flatten a school morning into one time: Tandem separately tracks the drive, on-campus arrival, and bell time. It also catches schedule changes buried in emails, making this feel less like another shared calendar than a narrowly focused attempt to solve family logistics.

Tandem is a private iOS assistant that reads calendars, school emails, and delivery notifications to explain what is happening now, what comes next, and what each family member needs to do.
