What Släkt Won’t Do

Let’s get this out of the way:

Släkt will not:

• Convince your kid that wiping the counters is fun

• Eliminate eye rolls

• Stop your toddler from “helping” by vacuuming the dog

• Parent your family for you

And honestly? I think that’s exactly why it’s working.

I didn’t build Släkt to replace you. I built it because you — the parent, the ringleader, the chief snack distributor, the chauffeur — are the most important part of this whole system.

Apps can be helpful. They can remind, assign, and organize. But they can’t teach responsibility. They can’t set tone. And they definitely can’t decode the silent sigh that means “I’ll just do it myself.”

That’s all you.

And the more I’ve tested Släkt with real families, the more convinced I am that it needs to stay that way.

I’ve gotten feedback like:

• “This is finally something I don’t have to explain to my kids 100 times.”

• “We used to fight over who did what. Now it’s just... there.”

• “Can it send wine?”

(Okay, that last one was probably a joke. Probably.)

But seriously — the best feedback hasn’t just been bug reports (though I appreciate those too). It’s been parents sharing how they use it, tweak it, talk about it with their kids. That’s the magic: not the app, but the way you use it.

Släkt isn’t here to parent your household. You’ve already got that covered.
It’s just here to make the job a little lighter, a little clearer, and a lot less repetitive.

And no, it still can’t send wine.
