Two can share the mental load.
That's why we built Toucan. We believe family organisation should be shared, not carried by one parent. Toucan turns the conversations you're already having in WhatsApp into organised plans the whole family can rely on.
Setup takes less than 60 seconds. No new apps to learn.

Shared Updates
Raising kids is a two person job. Managing the logistics should be, too.
Pew Research shows that even when both parents work full-time, over half say moms still handle more of the day-to-day parenting tasks, while only 10% say dads do. We believe this imbalance happens simply because the existing tools are too clunky to share.
We built Toucan to end the default parent dynamic. We are building invisible tools that make it effortlessly easy for both partners to own the admin, so you can stop playing project manager and get back to just being parents.
Three taps. No new app.

Hear from families sharing the load.
I love that everything happens on WhatsApp. Instead of procrastinating with multiple party invites and playdates, I instantly forward them to my Toucan WhatsApp chat.
Trying to keep track of my kids' wish lists across grandparents, friends and family was a nightmare. Gift Nest made it incredibly easy to create one wishlist and share it with everyone. Even my parents can use it!
Before Toucan, I was the one keeping track of every school message, party invite and family event. Now we both just forward things on WhatsApp, and we're always looking at the same calendar. It finally feels like we're sharing the load instead of it all falling on me.
