Here's what Motherboard does, so you don't have to.
Three small jobs in the background that add up to one less list in your head.
Reads.
Motherboard reads the order confirmations sitting in your Gmail and quietly builds an inventory of what each of your kids owns.
Watches.
Motherboard watches your family calendar so when picture day or the first cold week of fall or the start of soccer turns up, Motherboard already knows what each kid is going to need.
Texts.
Motherboard texts you before something needs to be purchased or replaced with the size your kid probably needs next.
Motherboard's always one step ahead.
Whatever's coming—colder weather, swim lessons, or summer—Motherboard already knows what your kid has and what they're missing.
This is what arrives on your phone.
Replying is just as easy. Reply with BUYING NOW and Motherboard watches for the order confirmation to land in your inbox, then reminds you if it slips your mind. Reply ALREADY HAVE and Motherboard won't bring it up again—handy for hand-me-downs or in-person purchases that never made it to Gmail. Reply STILL FITS and Motherboard waits a while before checking in.

“As a COO, I never ran our business on memory alone. Then I had kids and realized I was running an operation just as complex, from memory, with no tools. Motherboard is the system I wished I had.”
Most parenting apps want to be everything.
Motherboard focuses on one thing.
There are tons of apps that promise to organize your family life, make your partner carry a more equal load, and turn your children into chore-abiding shining stars (we wish!). They come in the form of shared calendars, chore trackers, AI co-parents, and family operating systems. Motherboard isn't trying to be any of those.
Motherboard simply keeps an inventory of what your kids own (automatically), scans your calendar (also automatically), and then texts you when your kid might need something. That's it!
