Fragmented channels
Important details land across Compass calendar entries, news items, newsletters, and one-off reminders. Parents have to check all of them.
For parents tired of surprise Thursdays
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.
The problem
Important details land across Compass calendar entries, news items, newsletters, and one-off reminders. Parents have to check all of them.
The date or instructions on the original event are often changed somewhere else. If you only looked once, you are working from stale information.
Therapy, appointments, and pickup logistics live in a different calendar, so clashes are easy to miss until the day itself.
How it works
Clarendr already has a working Compass client and service layer that survive Cloudflare, persist encrypted sessions, and fetch calendar events, news, and user details.
The current MVP writes school events into Google Calendar so the family schedule lives in one place instead of in a closed school portal.
Upcoming work adds a child profile and cached title classification, so whole-school noise can drop away while the relevant exceptions stay visible.
Next the system will reconcile news feed changes against school events, detect clashes with existing appointments, and generate a short morning brief.
Why this product exists
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.

Product stance
Clarendr is not trying to mirror every Compass screen. The goal is to collapse fragmented school comms into one operational view for a family.
Multi-school onboarding, newsletters, sports systems, and other portals can wait. The first job is making one family's week less error-prone.
Current status
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.
