Debs vs Nori
You photographed the flyer from the book bag so you wouldn't forget it. It's now photo 4,318 on your phone, just after the dog.
Nori is an AI helper for the whole household: a shared calendar, chores, recipes and meal plans, and you can forward it a school flyer or email. It's built for families in the US and Canada. Debs is built for UK schools and reads the school's senders for you, then tells you the night before what each child needs.

Nori is an AI family organiser with a calendar, meals and chores.
- A free shared calendar, tasks, recipes and meal plan

What Debs adds
- Made for the UK: every UK school, its term dates and INSET days
- Reads the school's senders straight from your inbox, no forwarding
- A night-before packing list for each child

*After a few minutes’ setup: pick your school, add your children and connect your email inbox. Debs then checks the inbox for the senders you choose (the school, its apps and your clubs) and keeps your school’s term dates up to date. Don’t want to connect email? You can show Debs a screenshot or photo instead.
