School mail piles up
Dear Room 12 families,
A few reminders as we head into a busy September! Picture day is Tuesday, September 1 — order forms went home in Friday folders and are due back by the 28th.
Our Science Center field trip is Friday, September 11. Signed permission slips and the $12 fee are due by the 4th…
Your family sees this
On everyone’s calendar, reminders set. Nothing due tonight.

Why Osita exists
Right now, one of you is the family’s inbox.
Schools usually message one parent, and the forms, fees, and picture-day notices pile up in one head. Osita puts the plan where the whole household can see it.

Privacy, plainly
Your mail stays yours.
Osita finds the school part.
Connect with read-only access or forward to a private address. Either way, Osita uses school mail only to organize your family.
What Osita sees
- School-related mail from a connected inbox, after a read-only content check.
- Mail you forward to your family’s private Osita address.
- The dates, tasks, and titles pulled from it.
What stays private
- Mail rejected by the school-mail check. Its full content is discarded after the decision.
- Spam, junk, and trash. Connected scans exclude them.
- Old source mail. Email text is removed 30 days after every plan from it moves to History.
Email text is kept only while its plans are active and for 30 days after. Then it is removed.
No selling data, no ads, ever.
Diagnostics are body-blind by rule — no mail contents, subjects, or sender addresses in logs or traces.
The full privacy policy is written in plain language. No fine print.

Before you ask
Questions parents actually ask
When can I get it?
Osita is on the App Store for iPhone now. Android is in early access: two quick steps with the Google account you use in Play Store.
What does it cost?
Every family starts free, and no card is required; the free period never turns into a paid subscription automatically. After it ends, eligible new subscribers can choose $19.99 for the first year, renewing at $39.99 a year, or $1.99 a month for the first 12 months, renewing at $3.99 a month. Your store shows the exact price before purchase. One plan covers the whole household.
How does the free period work?
Your family's offer is reserved when its first adult joins. While early places remain, your whole family gets one year free; after all 100 places are filled, families get one calendar month. We count each joined adult account once across families. Child profiles and unaccepted invitations don't count. The account that fills the final place reserves the full year for its whole family. Later members share the same free period; adding people does not restart it. Leaving does not reopen places. Your free period starts with your first useful school update. Check Settings > Plan & billing for your family's offer and exact end date once it starts. We'll remind you before it ends, and you choose whether to subscribe when it's due.
Does it work with my email?
Yes. Gmail, Outlook.com, Hotmail, and Microsoft 365 connect with read-only access. Any other email service can forward school mail to your family’s private Osita address, and Osita shows you how for your provider. Details are in the privacy policy — the readable kind.
Do both parents need the app?
One subscription covers the household. Invite your partner and the same feed, calendar, and reminders land on both phones — remembering stops being one person’s job.
The 7:40 backpack scramble will still happen.
The surprise picture day won’t.
