Why forwarding matters more than manual entry
Most families already receive the critical information by email. Forwarding that message is lower-friction than opening a calendar, retyping dates, and hoping nothing important gets missed.
Feature
Forward school emails once and watch the dates land on your calendar.
Memry turns forwarded school emails into calendar events you can edit or reject, and keeps the original email one tap away.
Built for messy real-world school communication
Time changes, location details, and event wording are often inconsistent. Memry is designed to surface those details without pretending every extraction is perfect.
Works with your existing calendar habits
Memry puts dates on the household calendar. You can import Google calendars you explicitly select, subscribe to available ICS feeds, and separately add Memry events to Google Calendar. The iPhone app can also keep Memry events in Apple Calendar.
Useful before the week gets away from you
By turning emails into calendar events quickly, Memry reduces the chance that next week's event is rediscovered too late.

Control

Payoff
Less re-entry
Parents stop copying from email into family systems by hand.
What happens after the email lands
Memry reads the email, adds likely dates to the calendar, saves action items as tasks on the message (dated ones also show on the calendar), and links everything back to the email so parents can double-check it.
Where this helps most
This workflow is especially useful for assemblies, field trips, teacher reminders, sports scheduling updates, and any message that mixes logistics with follow-up work.

FAQ
Does Memry automatically create calendar events?
Yes. Memry adds the dates it finds to your household calendar automatically. Every event links to the original email, so you can check, edit, or reject anything.
Can I use this for activity and camp emails too?
Yes. Any family communication that contains dates, times, reminders, and tasks can follow the same workflow.
Why not just forward to a calendar app directly?
Because most family emails mix dates with tasks, fees, and caveats. Memry pulls those apart into events and to-dos, each linked back to the original email.
Will other household members see the same event context?
Yes. The shared household workspace keeps everyone aligned on the same message, events, and tasks.
