Clarendr

For parents tired of surprise Thursdays

Your school calendar should warn you about the weird stuff.

Clarendr turns Compass into a practical family scheduling assistant. It pulls school events, tracks corrections hiding in news posts, filters for what matters to your child, and flags clashes with OT, psychology, speech, or whatever is already on the family calendar.

Schools do not publish one clean source of truth.

Fragmented channels

Important details land across Compass calendar entries, news items, newsletters, and one-off reminders. Parents have to check all of them.

Corrections arrive later

The date or instructions on the original event are often changed somewhere else. If you only looked once, you are working from stale information.

Conflicts stay hidden

Therapy, appointments, and pickup logistics live in a different calendar, so clashes are easy to miss until the day itself.

Built to surface anomalies, not dump every school event.

01

Pull Compass reliably

Clarendr already has a working Compass client and service layer that survive Cloudflare, persist encrypted sessions, and fetch calendar events, news, and user details.

02

Sync to Google Calendar

The current MVP writes school events into Google Calendar so the family schedule lives in one place instead of in a closed school portal.

03

Filter for one child

Upcoming work adds a child profile and cached title classification, so whole-school noise can drop away while the relevant exceptions stay visible.

04

Catch corrections and conflicts

Next the system will reconcile news feed changes against school events, detect clashes with existing appointments, and generate a short morning brief.

It started with one real family scheduling problem.

The first use case is narrow on purpose: one primary school child, one parent who is sick of checking Compass manually, and recurring specialist appointments that must not collide with school events.

That is enough to validate the real value proposition: not generic school admin software, but a daily assistant that tells a family what changed, what matters, and what now conflicts.

What exists now and what gets built next.

Built

  • Cloudflare-resistant Compass login and typed data access
  • Encrypted credential and session storage in `compass_service`
  • Admin UI and MCP adapter for local AI workflows
  • Google Calendar sync MVP for create and update flows

Next

  • Per-child profile context stored with each account
  • LLM-backed title classification cache with near-zero warm cost
  • News feed reconciliation that annotates corrected events
  • Conflict detection against existing therapy and appointment events
  • Daily morning brief summarising anomalies and clashes

Deliberately small scope. High-leverage output.

Not another parent dashboard

Clarendr is not trying to mirror every Compass screen. The goal is to collapse fragmented school comms into one operational view for a family.

Not broad family SaaS yet

Multi-school onboarding, newsletters, sports systems, and other portals can wait. The first job is making one family's week less error-prone.

Private build. Narrow scope. Real family use case.

Clarendr is still being shaped as a focused private product, starting with one family, one school system, and one concrete scheduling problem. The point right now is proving that anomaly detection and conflict warnings are genuinely useful in day-to-day family life.
