MLA: Mental Load Assistant

Stop texting each other about what's on the calendar, or what's for dinner. Mental Load Assistant is a smart shared planner built around the way people actually share their lives. Instead of handing someone your entire calendar, you organize events with color-coded tags, then share exactly the tags that matter with exactly the people who need them. ■■■ TELL MLA: SAY IT ONCE ■■■ Type, or hold the mic and talk: "Dentist Tuesday at 3, soccer every Thursday, buy milk and eggs." MLA turns it into events, tasks and shopping items, and you check them before anything is added. Plans changed? "Move today's dinner to 7" or "Tag Dance with Chloe" updates the event you already have, for just that day or the whole series. Ask "What do I have after 12?" or "When is Colin's wedding?" and tap any event to see it. It all runs on your iPhone with Apple Intelligence; nothing you say is sent anywhere. ■■■ YOUR DAY, IN PLAIN ENGLISH ■■■ The top of Today tells you what's on and when the day picks up again, with what's due and what's left to buy. After your last event it moves on to tomorrow. Get it as a morning and evening notification too. Week Ahead opens with one line: a light, medium or busy week, your free days, and how the weekend looks. ■■■ CREATE EVENTS THAT FIT YOUR LIFE ■■■ Full recurrence support: daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, or patterns like "the first Saturday of the month." Add a location, notes, reminders and tags, and pick dates from a calendar with the time wheel right below it. ■■■ TAG-BASED SHARING ■■■ Create color-coded tags like "Family," "Work" or "Date Night." Share a tag with read-only access to stay informed or write access to collaborate. Revoke access instantly. No over-sharing. ■■■ TASK LISTS THAT KEEP UP ■■■ Shared to-do lists with due dates and repeating tasks. Give a list a place and get reminded when you arrive, so the hardware store list shows up at the hardware store. ■■■ PLAN MEALS & SHOP SMARTER ■■■ Save recipes with ingredients, steps, cook time and a photo, or snap a cookbook page or pick a PDF and MLA fills in the recipe for you. Drag recipes onto a weekly meal plan and turn it into a shopping list that combines duplicates and converts units. Items land under the store you bought them at last time. ■■■ HANDS-FREE WITH SIRI (iOS 27) ■■■ "Add an event in Mental Load Assistant." "What's on next week in Mental Load Assistant?" Siri adds events, tasks and shopping items, tells you what's coming up, and lets you undo with one tap. ■■■ BUILT FOR TWO (OR MORE) ■■■ Partners, co-parents, households or a small team: everyone stays on the same page without one person remembering everything. ■■■ SMART, SECURE & NATIVE ■■■ • Face ID / Touch ID • Push notifications and event reminders • Home-screen widget showing what's next • Quick Action: create a new event from your home screen • Dark and light mode • Optimized for iPhone and iPad ■■■ GO PRO ■■■ The free plan covers the basics, including the weekly summary and store-sorted shopping. Pro removes every limit on events, tags, lists and recipes, and adds Tell MLA, the daily summary, recipe import and weather on every event with a location. ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ Mental Load Assistant is free to download. Set up your first event before you sign up; an account is needed to save and share. Tell MLA and recipe import need an iPhone with Apple Intelligence.
