Osita: Never miss a permission slip.

Osita turns school email into a shared family feed, calendar, and reminders. Connect an inbox with read-only access so Osita can find likely school messages, or forward school mail instead.

School mail arrives

Ms. Alvarez · Room 12 Picture Day + field trip reminders!
7:42 AM

Dear Room 12 families,

A few reminders as we head into a busy March! Picture day is Tuesday, March 14 — order forms went home in Friday folders and are due back by the 10th.

Our Science Center field trip is Friday, March 24. Signed permission slips and the $12 fee are due by the 17th, and we still need two parent volunteers!

Also, don't forget Spirit Day this Friday (wear green!). And a reminder that the book fair…

Your family sees this

How it works

Two minutes to set up. Then it runs itself.

  1. Choose where school mail arrives

    Connect a supported inbox with read-only access, or use your family's private forwarding address. Osita shows the simplest option for your provider.

  2. Osita reads the mail

    Dates, to-dos, and FYIs come out. A plain-text copy stays available while those plans are active and for 30 days after — yours never leaves your inbox.

  3. The whole family sees the plan

    One feed, one calendar, reminders for both of you. Remembering stops being one person's job.

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

  • Likely school mail from a connected inbox, after a metadata-first 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 content is never fetched or retained.
  • 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.

Pricing

One price. The whole household.

Osita is paid for by families, not advertisers — that's why there are no ads and your data is never for sale. Every plan covers your whole household and starts with 3 months free.
