Why I’m building muddl

Family life spread across spreadsheets, WhatsApp chats and emails. muddl brings it all together into a shared space.

Hi, I’m Oly

I’m a product designer, husband and a dad of two. Like a lot of families, our plans were spread all over the place in school emails, WhatsApp chats, and a calendar on the wall.

One day, while we were trying to sort out childcare for six school-free weeks, my wife said: ‘We’ll just have to muddle through summer’. That phrase stuck with me, and muddl was born.

muddl is young, and I’d love your help shaping it. Tell me about your week, what would make it easier, or just say hello: hello@muddl.co

Principles of muddl

For 6am glances and summer plans

A muddl should centre you. Glance at it first thing and know exactly what the day holds. Sit down with it on a big screen and plan a whole summer.

Room for the whole team

A muddl should be transparent. Everyone who helps, from partners to grandparents to childminders, can see exactly what they need to lend a hand.

No ads

A muddl should be yours. Ads get in the way and they’re annoying. Your family calendar is about your family, not somebody else’s banner.

Free means free

A muddl should cost nothing to keep. No trials you’ll forget to cancel. If muddl+ is useful to you, subscribe consciously. If not, that’s cool.
