Is Hermo free?
Yes, the Starter plan is free forever for you and your partner. It includes the shared family calendar, shared to-dos, meal planner, and weekly digest. The Helper plan (£4/month, less than £1 a week) adds WhatsApp capture, Familypedia, Watchers, and the daily briefing, with a 14-day free trial.
Does my partner need to install anything?
No new app. You invite your partner to your Hermo household, and from there they message Hermo on WhatsApp just like you do. Each of you gets your own morning briefing and can ask Familypedia your own questions. Shared things (to-dos, calendar, the meal plan) stay shared. For things easier on a screen, both of you can also sign in at hermo.ai from any browser.
What can Hermo see in my email? Can it send emails as me?
Hermo connects to Gmail through Google-audited OAuth, reviewed and verified by Google’s Trust & Safety team. Hermo reads your inbox to extract family logistics (dates, deadlines, reminders) and writes events to your calendar. Hermo doesn’t send email, reply to anyone, or delete anything from your inbox.
How is Hermo different from Cozi?
Cozi is a great shared family calendar and shopping list. Hermo does those things too, and it also reads the school emails and captures voice notes on WhatsApp, so events and to-dos get onto the shared list without anyone typing them in. See the full comparison →
