Shared to-do list that knows what’s coming.

The school emails become to-dos on their own, filed under school, medical, birthdays or whichever area they belong to. Either of you can add one by voice on the way back from the school gate.

As covered in Sifted “Hermo scans my inbox and pulls out the key details buried in the inexhaustible gusher of emails we get from the crèche.” Read →

Connect, and let Hermo create your list.

1

Say hello on WhatsApp

Tap the link and send one message. No app to install, and your partner does the same from their own phone.

2

Pick the senders Hermo reads

The school, the nursery, the clubs. Not your whole inbox, unless you want that.

3

Items arrive filed

What needs doing comes out of the email and lands under school, medical or wherever it belongs, without anyone sorting it.

4

Someone holds it

Give an item to one of you, to a child, or leave it shared. Whoever holds it gets the nudge.

Hermo already knows.

One list, both of you on it, filled in by the emails you already get.

Capture on the walk home, and ask for the detail you need while you are actually doing the thing.

Items appear from your inbox.

“Send the permission slip back by Friday.” “Renew the car insurance.” They land on the list the moment the email arrives, with no copy-paste and no forwarding.

Filed under school, medical, birthdays.

School with school, medical with medical, birthdays with birthdays. You write what each area covers in your own words and Hermo reads that when it files, so the list is never one undifferentiated pile.

Capture by voice, photo or text.

In the car, at the gate, at 11pm when you remember. Send it to Hermo on WhatsApp and it is on the shared list before you have parked.

Once you’re on the same page, defining ownership is a breeze.

Anything on the list can belong to a person or stay with the household, and you can move it whenever.

An item can belong to one of you, to a child, or to nobody in particular.

Give an item to a person.

Either parent, or one of the kids for the things they can do themselves. Leave it unassigned and it stays shared, which is the right answer for plenty of it.

Or give away the whole area.

Hand over School and childcare and every to-do in it goes too, along with the nudges that were going to arrive about them. Ownership Board →

The nudge follows the holder.

Not whoever read the email, and not whoever set it up. If the item changes hands, so does the reminder.

To-do list questions, answered.

Is the shared to-do list on the free plan?

Yes, the shared list itself is. Capturing by WhatsApp and having Hermo read your email and file items for you are on the paid plans. The pricing page has the detail.

Can I add items manually too?

Yes. Add items on the web at hermo.ai any time, or send them to Hermo on WhatsApp as a message, a voice note or a photo.

Can the list have categories?

Yes. Items sit in areas of the household, so school stays with school and admin with admin. You name the areas and write what each one covers, and Hermo reads that when it files something new.

Can items be assigned to a specific person?

Yes. An item can belong to either parent, or to one of the children for the things they can do themselves. Leave it unassigned and it stays shared. Items also sit in an area of the household, and anything tagged to an area belongs to whoever is holding that area right now.

Stop being the one who remembers the permission slip.

Let the emails put themselves on the list, and let the list say who is doing what.
