What it's about
The real work happens in your head: remembering, planning, not forgetting. It's invisible, it usually lands on one person, and it's rarely shared. That's exactly where shary comes in.
The childhood check-ups have fixed windows. Who keeps them in mind?
At the change of season you often notice only once it's already cold.
Recurring deadlines the same person always has to remember.
Little agreements that get lost between door and doorstep.
shary takes this mental load off you and makes it visible for both. No blame, no pressure.
The difference day to day
It's not about getting more done. It's about carrying less around with you.
How you start
No account, no email, no password.
One parent starts shary and gives your shared space a name.
The other installs the app and scans the invite code. Connected.
Whatever one of you adds is instantly on both phones. Reminders come by themselves.
What's inside
No note chaos, no double work. One shared state.
Appointments, open tasks and what's coming up, all on one calm home screen. It answers the one question: is there anything to do?
shary knows the childhood check-ups and vaccination schedule and suggests, by age and season, what to keep in mind.
At the change of season, "does this still fit?". What's missing lands on the shared shopping list with one tap.
Recurring tasks rotate who's up automatically. You calmly see how it's shared. No score, no pressure.
Who gave what and when? Plus an emergency sheet for babysitters you can share as a PDF or print.
Enter birthdays once and the reminder to sort a gift comes in time by itself. Jot the gift idea down right away so it's not lost.
One list per person, set up once and reused. Tick off, add, reset for the next trip or save a copy.
Passport, ID card, driving licence with expiry, for kids and parents. shary speaks up about two months ahead so the renewal isn't rushed.
Hands full, kid on your arm? Just say "buy diapers" or "dentist on Friday" and it's in the app. Ask shary reads out what's on today.
Health data is stored and transmitted encrypted, on a server in Austria. No ads, no tracking.
And also already inside:
The difference
A calendar shows what you type in. shary suggests what you should keep in mind, and shares the load between both of you.
Other apps wait for input. shary brings by itself the right reminders at the right time.
Not a "family calendar" only one person keeps up. Both have the same state, no chat ping-pong.
No email, no login, no data selling. Just you and your data, encrypted in Austria.
Reminders that come by themselves
shary works ahead by age and season and surfaces the right thing in time, instead of leaving it to circle in the back of your mind.
Why shary exists
shary wasn't invented in a workshop. We're parents in Vienna and both work. Clear agreements have always been our craft: for me from 17 years in emergency services, where you say out loud who takes what and the other person confirms it. For my wife from HR and controlling. Today she helps mothers back into work and makes visible what parents learn along the way: planning, negotiating, holding several threads at once.
That kind of agreement is missing at home. Not because parents couldn't do it, but because there was never a tool for it. The hard part isn't the doing, it's the constant keeping-track in your head. And that almost always sticks with one person, without anyone meaning it to.
There's also something I'll say openly: I can't keep appointments in my head. Method or not, what isn't written down is gone for me. That's part of why shary turned out the way it did. It has to resurface by itself, or it's no use to me.
So we built an app that brings this pattern into everyday life. The ideas come from my wife, from families we're friends with and from our own day. We use it daily. That's why only what really takes something off your plate ends up in it, and nothing that looks like more work.

What it costs
No stripped-down version, no feature behind a lock. Both tiers can do everything. The only difference is how many devices join.
One subscription covers the whole household, not per device. Anyone who joins by invite pays nothing extra and never sees a payment prompt. The bigger tier fits if grandparents, a childminder or a second home should look in too.
If the subscription lapses, nothing is deleted: everything stays visible and exportable, only new entries and reminders pause until you unlock again.
As long as shary comes straight from us and isn't in the Play Store yet, you use everything without limits.
Before you ask
That's exactly what shary is built for. The second person installs the app and scans a QR code, that's it. No account, no email, no password. It works solo too, but it shines as a pair.
Nothing is lost. Without unlocking, the household becomes read-only: all entries stay visible and exportable, new entries and reminders pause until you unlock.
Not yet, Android comes first, iOS is planned. Access is tied to the household, not the device, so a mix of Android and iPhone will work later too.
Health data is stored encrypted, transmitted only over HTTPS, and the server is in Austria. No tracking, no ads, no sharing with third parties. Each household sees only its own data.
Because we want to know as little about you as possible. We have neither your email nor a password. You connect through an invite code, and you can save that invite in the app at any time.
Your data and your unlock live with the household on the server, not on the device. With the saved invite you're back on a new phone in a minute, without anything missing.
Get shary and carry the mental work around your kids together from today. Two minutes to set up, 30 days to try, then decide.
