Mantel

For families with too much on

The family plan,
finally in one place.

Photograph a school letter and the dates file themselves. One week everybody can see, the kit list attached to the day it is needed, and a quiet corner that stays nobody's business but yours.

How it works

A letter goes in. The week comes out.

No typing dates into boxes. Photograph the letter, paste the message, or just say it out loud - Mantel reads it and puts every piece where it belongs.

What it does

Everything a family forgets, remembered.

One shared week

Everyone sees the same plan on their own phone. Change it once and it changes for the whole house.

Letters read themselves

Photograph it, paste it, or say it. Dates, places, what to bring - sorted into the right day, tagged to the right child.

Lists that travel

The kit list hangs on the day it is needed, so you see it the morning it matters, not the night after.

The morning brief

Two sentences before eight. What is on, what is due, and the one thing that will trip you up.

Share a plan with anyone

Send one link. They open it in any browser - no app, no account - and add it straight to their calendar.

My Space

A private corner of the same app. Yours alone, or shown to the family as simply busy. Never shared, by design.

The quiet part

A family calendar knows everything about you.

Where your children are on a Tuesday. Which hospital. Which solicitor. We built Mantel on the assumption that this is the most sensitive thing on your phone.

No adverts. Ever.

Nothing in Mantel is paid for by knowing about you. There is no ad product and there never will be.

Private stays private

Anything in My Space cannot be shared, at any layer - the app will not offer it and the database refuses it outright.

A share is a copy

Send someone an invitation and they receive only the words you approved on screen. Never a window into your calendar.

Pricing

The family bit is free.

Not a trial, not a teaser. The shared week, lists, reminders and sharing stay free for good.

Questions

The things people ask.

Does everyone need the app?

Everyone in your household does, so the plan stays in step. But anyone you send an invitation to does not - they open a link in whatever browser they already have, and can add it to any calendar with one tap.

What happens when the free AI runs out?

Nothing breaks. The whole family plan keeps working exactly as it did - you just add things yourself that month, the way you would anywhere else. The allowance is shared by the household and resets each month.

Can my family see what is in My Space?

No. You choose per item: kept entirely to yourself, or shown to the family as simply busy with no detail. It cannot be shared outside the app either - that rule is enforced in the database, not just in the buttons.

What if I cancel Mantel+?

You keep your family, your plans and your lists. The paid extras switch off, the free plan carries on, and nothing is deleted.

Is my family's data sold or used for adverts?

No, and there is no mechanism for it. Mantel makes money one way: people who choose to pay for Mantel+.

Which phones does it work on?

iPhone today. It is built to run on Android too, and that will follow.

Put the week down somewhere everyone can see it.
