02 / What’s built

  • Two phones, one table

    Both of you prepare on your own phones, then move through one shared agenda together, in step.

  • Decisions stay decided

    What you decide, who does what, and what waits for next week stays written down.

  • The elephant in the room

    A gentle way to say “we need to talk.” You choose the words and offer a few times.

  • Your phone, your theme

    Eight themes. Each of you picks your own, and it changes only your phone.

03 / Themes

Each of you picks a theme for your own phone. It changes only that phone.

  • Kitchen Table home screen in the Aurora theme: “Good afternoon, Sam,” the next meeting on Sunday at 7:30 PM, and two lights showing Sam ready and Dana not yet.

SameCOL’s parent app

COL’s parent app, in development. Explore the idea and the convictions shaping it. An iPhone app, drawn here as a concept.

AvailabilityIn development

Drawn as a concept, not a screenshot. Release timing not announced.

01 / The concept, drawn

ConceptSame is in development and has no public screens yet. This drawing shows the idea: one short question at a time, answers as soft bubbles, one small next step, and a one-word answer from another parent.

02 / The concept

  • One small next step

    Built for tired parents, around one small next step at a time.

  • Questions as bubbles

    A short journey of gentle questions, answered by tapping a bubble.

  • The “Same” acknowledgment

    One word that tells another parent they are not the only one.

One life.
Many places to lead.
