The household's paperwork in one drawer — and the dates it hides, on one board.

The problem it solves

Every household runs on paperwork that lives nowhere: the boiler warranty in a kitchen drawer, the car's MOT date in someone's head, the school term letter in a coat pocket. Nothing is wrong until the one day a year each of these matters, and then everything is.

How it works

Drop papers into the papers folder — warranty PDFs, insurance documents, school letters, the appliance manual, photos of paper you'd otherwise lose. Any format, any name, no sorting required. That folder is the drawer.

Every Sunday evening the clerk reads what's new in the drawer and pulls out the dates: a warranty that expires, a renewal that's due, a term that starts. Each one becomes a small file in the dates folder, pointing back at its paper. The Board app reads that folder and shows what's coming: this week, this month, later.

You can also add a date directly — copy the example in the dates folder, or tell the clerk "the car's MOT is due September 4th". Papers are never moved, renamed or deleted; the drawer stays exactly as you filled it.

What's inside

• Household Clerk — the one agent. Reads new papers, keeps the dates board true.
• Sunday Paper Check — the one routine. Runs at 18:00 every Sunday.
• Board — the one page. What's coming, in order, with what it comes from.
• papers/ — the drawer. dates/ — one small file per date that matters.
• setup.md — who’s in the household and how far ahead to warn.
