Frequently Asked Questions

Who built DailyNest?

DailyNest was built by a working parent who was tired of missing permission slips, picture days, and early dismissals buried in an overflowing inbox. The product was born from a real need: one parent's frustration turned into a tool that helps families stay on top of everything.

Is my email safe?

Yes. DailyNest scans your email to find kid-related messages, extracts the important details (dates, events, action items), and then discards the email content. We never store the body of your emails. Your OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest, and we only access the minimum data needed to generate your digest.

What do you do with my data?

We store your account information (name, email, digest preferences) and the extracted items from your emails (event titles, dates, action items). We do not store full email content. Email data is processed by AI to extract structured information, then the raw content is discarded. We never sell, share, or use your data for advertising.

Can I disconnect DailyNest anytime?

Yes. You can pause or delete your account from your dashboard at any time, and your data goes with it. You can also revoke DailyNest's access to your Google account directly from your Google Account settings. When you revoke access, we can no longer read your email. We connect through Google's own sign-in, so we never see or store your password.

Why do you need Gmail access?

DailyNest needs read-only access to your Gmail to find school newsletters, activity updates, medical appointments, and other kid-related emails. Your daily digest comes from our own address, digest@dailynest.io, not your Gmail account. We never send email on your behalf, and we never ask for access to your calendar. The one-tap calendar buttons in your digest are just links that open Google Calendar with the details filled in, so you stay in control of what gets added.

Does it work with Outlook or Yahoo?

Currently DailyNest only works with Gmail (Google Workspace accounts included). We plan to add support for other email providers in the future.

What if I have kids at different schools?

DailyNest handles this automatically. Our AI detects your children's names, schools, and activities from your email content. Your digest brings each kid's events, to-dos, and schedule changes together in one place.

Can my co-parent get the digest too?

Yes. During setup (or anytime from your dashboard), you can add additional recipients. Your co-parent, a caregiver, or a grandparent can all receive the same daily digest. Everyone stays on the same page.

What types of emails does it catch?

DailyNest detects emails from schools, sports teams, dance studios, medical offices, tutoring services, camps, PTA/PTO organizations, and more. It recognizes platforms like ParentSquare, ClassDojo, Remind, Brightwheel, TeamSnap, and dozens of others. It also catches direct emails from teachers and activity providers.

What if it misses an email or gets something wrong?

Every item in your digest has a "See email" link so you can open the original and check it yourself. If something is wrong, reply to the digest and tell us, and a person reads it. You can also add specific senders to watch from your dashboard.

Do I need a credit card for the free trial?

Yes, we collect payment info upfront, but you won't be charged until your 30-day trial ends. You can cancel anytime before then from your dashboard and you'll never be charged. See current pricing.

How do I cancel?

Open your dashboard, tap Your account, then Cancel my subscription. It stops at the end of the period you already paid for. You can also email hi@dailynest.io and we will do it for you.

When does the digest arrive?

You choose. During setup, you pick the time that works best for you. Most parents set it for 7am (before the school run) or 7pm (after bedtime). You can change it anytime from your dashboard.
