What is Hobson?

Who it’s for

Dual-income parents and busy caregivers who are juggling two work calendars plus the kids’ schedules, and are tired of things slipping through the cracks — the dentist visit nobody booked, the carpool nobody claimed, the flyer that never made it onto a calendar.

Why it exists

A shared calendar shows you what you already entered. It doesn’t notice what you forgot, warn you about a conflict before it happens, or chase down who’s driving on Tuesday. Hobson does the noticing so two busy adults can stay coordinated without a weekly logistics meeting.

What it does

• Smart nudges for the things you forgot to schedule.
• Conflict alerts before two events collide.
• Carpool coordination — it asks who’s driving recurring activities 48 hours ahead and tracks who drives most.
• Flyer scan — snap a photo of a paper notice and it becomes calendar events.
• Shared lists and Circles for coordinating with a partner or co-parent.
