Every household runs on an invisible load: who's where, what's due, what was agreed, which form is outstanding. Niles is the trustworthy memory that holds it, so it isn't all in one person's head. It keeps track; you stay in control.
Private beta · built for busy households
We invite a few households at a time, so every family gets proper attention. Leave your email and we'll be in touch.
Today, the easiest way to feed Niles is email. Forward the admin that runs your life, or set it to forward automatically. Photo, voice, and direct entry are coming. However it arrives, it lands in one trusted place.
A school excursion, a $22 payment, a sports reschedule, an appointment. Forwarded to your private Niles address, or added in a tap.
It pulls out the events and tasks, works out which child and which organisation each concerns, and links it to what Niles already knows about your family.
Niles proposes; you confirm, edit, or reject. Nothing enters your family's memory without you.
You're always in controlApproved items flow into one live view of right now: today's plans, what needs doing, what's for dinner, shared by the whole family, so the load isn't on one person.
Everything below is shipped and running in real households right now. What's still being built lives further down, under "Where Niles is going", never mixed in here.
Send the admin that runs your life to your household's private Niles address. Niles reads it, works out what it means, and asks before anything is kept.
One calendar for the whole household, with everyone's commitments in it, and a way to see just one person's when that's the question you're asking.
Plan what you're eating and see tonight's answer on your home base, so nobody has to ask at 5pm.
A shopping list that sorts itself into the order you actually walk the shop, plus lists for anything else your household keeps track of.
An assistant you have to double-check is more work than no assistant. So Niles is built to be trusted with the things that matter.
"Between the two of us, the admin of family life never stopped: the forms, the due dates, the appointments, and too much of it lived in our heads instead of somewhere we both could trust. So we built Niles to hold it for both of us. It runs on our own family every day. If that sounds like your house too, we'd love for you to try it."
Shared calendars and to-do apps are empty buckets you still have to fill. Email parsers guess and hope. Niles is a memory that holds the load, and earns your trust to do it.
Niles learns your family's people, organisations, and routines, and gets more useful the longer you use it. You can inspect, edit, and correct everything it knows.
Everything Niles knows links to where it learned it. You can always see exactly why it believes what it believes. No black box.
Nothing is added, dropped, or finalised without a visible, reversible record you can see and correct. You hand over the load, not control.
Niles is built in Australia under Australian privacy law, and it will be a paid product, so your family's data never has to be. No ads, no data sales, and no third-party trackers on this site or in the app. Children are people your household tells Niles about, not account holders, and we collect the minimum that delivers the value. Everything Niles knows, you can inspect, correct, or delete. How we handle your data ›
Family admin from email is where Niles starts. The goal is a genuine household assistant, one you trust enough to hand the running of family life to, one capability at a time.
Niles pulls everything it holds into a single home base: what's happening today, the few things that actually need doing, and what's for dinner. No digging through inboxes, no holding it all in your head.
It's the family's shared answer to "what do I need to know right now?", the same for both of you, always current.
Free during early access. At launch, a fair subscription. Niles is paid so your family's data never has to be the product. More on pricing ›
Your household's information is yours, visible only to your household, and never sold or used for advertising. Everything Niles knows links back to where it learned it, and you can inspect, correct or delete any of it. Read the privacy page ›
