The playground
for parents.
One app for camps, calendars, carpools, and community — now live in San Diego beta with personalized picks by kid age, interests, distance, and mom sanity.
One app for camps, calendars, carpools, and community — now live in San Diego beta with personalized picks by kid age, interests, distance, and mom sanity.
Three kids. Four ZIP codes. Twelve open tabs. One mom crying into her cold brew at 5:47 AM. We built Recess because the current system is absurd — and we're done pretending it isn't.
Ages, interests, ZIP code, budget, and drive radius. Recess immediately personalizes the activity feed.
Filter by nearby, weekend, free/low-cost, age fit, interests, schedule, and San Diego category.
Save activities, add them to your schedule, subscribe in Apple/Google Calendar, and invite parent friends.
395 San Diego activities are live now — camps, classes, parks, sports, art, STEM, music, and family outings — searchable by what moms actually care about.
Recess matches activities to each child’s age and interests, then helps you turn the good options into a realistic weekly plan.
Add activities to your family schedule, view the week at a glance, and subscribe from Apple or Google Calendar so plans travel with you.
The beta starts privacy-first: invite links, shared activity interest, and lightweight coordination before we turn on full messaging and contact import.
Start with trusted friends and nearby families. See what people are interested in, coordinate around activities, and help shape the Recess parent network before public launch.
Subscribe to your Recess schedule from Apple or Google Calendar today. Sports/class app imports are on the roadmap once the beta proves the workflow.
Don't see your app? Tell us — beta feedback determines what we wire next.
Every San Diego mom understands this one. It’s familiar, high-intent, schedule-heavy, and social — the perfect beta camp to test whether Recess can help 10 families coordinate around one shared program.
Recess is no longer just a concept page. Families can sign in, add kids, browse hundreds of San Diego activities, get personalized picks, add plans to a schedule, subscribe via calendar, and invite parent friends.
Parents add ages and interests, then Recess highlights activities that actually fit — not a giant generic directory.
Built around local moms: nearby options, weekend wins, free/low-cost picks, parks, classes, camps, STEM, sports, art, and outings.
Save the contenders, add one to the family schedule, and subscribe from Apple or Google Calendar so it leaves the browser.
Privacy-first invite links let families test coordination with real friends before messaging/contact import goes wide.
We’re asking moms what pops, what’s confusing, and what’s missing — so the next build solves the real pain.
The web beta is live now while iOS TestFlight is prepared. No need to wait to start learning from families.
Try the live beta, find one activity you’d actually do, add it to your schedule, then send Recess to one San Diego mom whose feedback you trust.
"Can you find 3 activities you would actually consider booking this month?"
"Does the nearby/weekend/free filtering feel like how you really search?"
"Do the recommendations match each kid, or are we missing their real interests?"
"Can you add one activity to your schedule without thinking too hard?"
"Would Apple/Google Calendar sync make this useful enough to keep?"
"What would make you send this to another mom without being asked?"
The App Store build comes next. Today, San Diego friends and family can test the real product in the browser.
