Why a founding pre-sale?

Honest answer: we're almost ready, and your support gets us the rest of the way.

Funds our security review

Before opening BackpackBuddy to the public, we're commissioning a third-party security review of how we handle your Google account access and data. Founding pre-sales fund that review.

Funds launch polish

The rest goes toward final launch prep, so the product you and every family after you uses is solid from day one.

You're not waiting

This isn't a waitlist deposit, founding families get set up and start using BackpackBuddy right away, ahead of the public launch.

Founding Family questions

What does "lifetime access" actually mean?

Pay once ($89), and your account never gets a recurring bill for BackpackBuddy's core service, ever. You get full premium-level features (unlimited children, multi-teacher support, Drive attachments, co-parent digest, custom reminders) for as long as BackpackBuddy operates, locked in at the founding price. Fair use: your founding plan covers normal family email volume, to keep BackpackBuddy sustainable for everyone, we may apply reasonable limits to accounts with extreme or automated usage.

What happens at official launch?

Founding families are set up before public launch and stay on as full customers with lifetime access already active, no extra steps, no switching plans. Everyone else will sign up at regular monthly pricing.

Is my data safe? Where do my emails go?

BackpackBuddy connects through Google's official OAuth, we never see your password. We don't keep your emails: we scan for the homework and event details, save those to your account so we can build your calendar and digest, and discard the message content. The extraction itself runs on Anthropic's Claude AI, which processes the email content to do the job and, under Anthropic's current API terms, doesn't use your data to train AI models.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. If BackpackBuddy isn't right for your family within the first 30 days after launch, email support@backpackbuddy.app for a full refund, no questions asked.

When does BackpackBuddy officially launch?

We're in pre-launch now, finishing a third-party security review before opening to the public. Founding families get set up first and start using BackpackBuddy right away, you don't wait for the public launch date.

20 Founding spots. One price, forever.

$89, one time. Lifetime access to BackpackBuddy's full premium-level features, and you help fund the security review before we open the doors to everyone else.
