It all started with a love story. In 1969, a husband loved his wife so much that he
built her a cottage on Cape Cod. The place became a second home, and in time it
passed down to their children, and their children’s children. As the family grew,
so did the friendly competition for summer weeks. More families brought more happy
memories, but as technology changed, the logistics only got more complicated.
What began as phone calls to settle reservations turned into email chains, then
attempts at shared calendars. In 2024, we tried a simple form wired to a shared
calendar, but it was still hard to sync and use. With an age range from 18 to 75,
we needed an app everyone could actually use.
Within two days, more than two dozen family members had signed up, testing it out,
asking questions, and using it the way it was meant to be used. Before long, three
other families who share the place had joined the community too.
What used to be long group chats and Zoom calls spent troubleshooting became
something calm and simple. Now those same chats are full of grandbaby pics, dog
videos, and Cape weather updates, just as nature intended.
We built this for a place we love and the people we love. You can do that too.
