"I have been the only one to put in all the effort in planning this trip... I'm shouldering the mental load for my entire family and everybody has something to say about it."
Pre-launch · US · Built for kids 3–12
Stop spending Friday night scrolling for Saturday.
Cube is the weekend planner that learns from where your family actually went and how it actually felt — not what you clicked. Every Friday morning, 3 ranked Saturday picks land in your inbox, tuned to your kids. Built for US parents with kids 3–12.
Free early access. No credit card. Your data stays yours. Cube is in development — early-access invites go out as we onboard launch cities.
Built by a parent of two. Your family's data stays yours — never sold, never used for ads, exportable anytime.
The Friday-night scramble
It's 9:47pm — and you still don't know where you're taking the kids tomorrow.
You've got 47 IG saves, 12 Pinterest pins, 3 group‑chat recs, and a Yelp tab open. You've done this every Friday for years. And it never feels like planning — just losing.
The good places that worked at age 4 don't work at age 6. Half your IG saves are for venues that don't exist in your city. The Yelp "family friendly" reviews are written by people who don't have kids. Last weekend you settled for the same park you've been to 30 times — and the 6-year-old asked "can we just go home?" before lunch.

1–3 hours every Friday
Scrolling, comparing, asking the group chat — every single week.

Reviews not written by parents
"Family friendly" usually means "we have a kids menu" — not "your 5-yr-old won't melt down."

IG saves that fit someone else's kid
47 places saved, 3 visited, 2 disasters. Sound familiar?

The same fight, every weekend
"Where are we going?" "I don't know yet." "Why are you always the one planning?"
The Cube approach
Cube is the weekend planner that knows your family.
Not because we have more content. Because we have YOUR signal. Cube learns from where you actually went, how it actually felt, what your kids actually loved — and serves it back as 3 ranked picks every Friday morning.

3 Saturday picks every Friday, tuned to your kids today
Cube sits above the apps you already love. We don't make content. We make sense of yours.
Why Cube is different
Five ways Cube isn't another family app.
Every other app personalizes from clicks and saves. Cube personalizes from where your family actually went and how it actually felt.
-
01
Signal
Learns from real visits, not clicks
Geo-visit detection plus a 30-second post-trip rating capture what your family actually did and how it actually felt. The model is designed so that by a few months in, Cube can reject venues that fail your kids before you ever see them.
-
02
Cadence
3 picks every Friday at 8am
Proactive push before your planning-anxiety window opens. No more 10pm scrolling. No more "where are we going?" from the kids before you've had coffee.
-
03
Couples
Your partner participates in 60 seconds
Both parents swipe the same 5 picks independently; Cube finds the overlap. No more being the bottleneck. No more "you never plan anything together."
-
04
Privacy
Your family graph is yours
See exactly what Cube thinks about your family. Edit any preference. Export the whole graph as JSON or a PDF summary. Privacy by ownership — not by promise.
-
05
Incentive
We don't make content. We don't sell ads.
Cube sits above the apps you already love (IG, Pinterest, Mommy Poppins). We have no editorial team, no ad inventory, no incentive to keep you scrolling. The only thing we optimize is your weekend.
Designed for compounding
Every weekend should be a little better than the last.
Cube's only North Star is your after-the-fact satisfaction score. The model learns from your real ratings, not from clicks or engagement minutes — so the line goes up where it actually counts.

In their own words
What parents say about planning today.
We're pre-launch — these are real, sourced quotes from US parents on the exact pain Cube is built to solve.
"The number of online reviews where we wonder if the person who wrote it is even a parent, or has ever been around a real child..."
"8 of those 12 hours we were in the park were spent in lines... we rode 6 or 7 rides only."
Questions parents actually ask
Before you sign up.
Is Cube another app I have to manage? I already have too many.
Setup is 60 seconds. After that Cube is mostly invisible — one notification Friday morning, one 30-second rating after each visit. We don't compete for your attention; we replace 1–3 hours of Friday-night scrolling with 30 seconds of deciding.
How does Cube handle my kids' data and privacy?
Cube runs on-device by default. We don't sell your data, we don't show ads, we don't share with Apple, Google, or Meta. Your family preference graph is visible and exportable — if Cube ever shuts down, your family's history comes with you. We're a small team building for parents like us, not for ad networks.
What if Cube doesn't know my city yet?
We're targeting the top 20 US metros first — NYC, LA, SF Bay, Seattle, Chicago, Boston, Austin, DC, Denver, Atlanta and their dense suburbs. We aim for 100+ vetted venues per launch city before opening it. If you're outside these metros, sign up for the waitlist and we'll let you know when we reach you. Cube outside the top-20 today would be a worse experience than what's already free elsewhere, and we won't ship that.
What's it going to cost?
At launch you'll have a free tier with the weekly Friday-morning picks (3 ranked) and basic preference graph — that's enough to feel the value. A Family Pro tier is coming soon with bookings (OpenTable, Resy, Eventbrite), couples-mode mutual vote, preference graph export, and trip planning. We'll share pricing once it's locked — early-access waitlisters get to weigh in first.
How is this different from Mommy Poppins / GoWhee / Layla AI?
Mommy Poppins is editorial — same picks for every reader in your city. GoWhee is a directory — comprehensive but unaware of YOUR family. Layla AI is one-shot — forgets you every session. Cube learns and remembers per-family: every visit, every rating, every win and miss. Year 2 of Cube is better than year 2 of any of them.
Are you really not making content?
Correct. We have no editorial team and no plans to hire one. Instagram, Pinterest, Mommy Poppins, and Xiaohongshu already make content you love. Cube sits above that layer — we observe what you save, watch what you visit, and rate what worked. We don't compete with your favorite content. We make sense of it.
