How it works

Three steps. Zero confusion.

Everything happens in Messages. Here's what you'll see.

One number on file

Give your Pickup number to the school, the doctor, the daycare. Takes 30 seconds. Both caregivers get a welcome text.

👋 Welcome to Pickup! Your number: (314) 555-0142. When Lincoln Elementary calls, you'll both get an alert like this. Whoever picks up first answers.

Two caregivers get the call

When the school calls, both phones get a heads-up, then ring. Whoever's free presses 1 and connects.

📞 Lincoln Elementary is calling your Pickup line. Answer your phone and press 1 to connect.

Everyone's in the loop

After every call, both caregivers see exactly what happened.

✅ Jamie took the call from Lincoln Elementary.
or, if you missed the call

📭 The school nurse from Lincoln Elementary called to report that Sophia scraped her knee at school. The nurse applied ice and Sophia returned to class; she is fine. No callback is needed.

Call back: (314) 555-0180

What you get

More than a shared number.

No spam. Ever.
Only the people you choose ring through. Scams and robocalls are turned away and logged. Your Pickup line never rings for a stranger.
Set who gets the call, when
Pick a window when only one of you gets the call. The other phone stays silent, like Do Not Disturb. In a deep-work block, or asleep after a night shift? Set it once.

Who it's for

Two caregivers. One call.

👩‍💼👨‍💼
Two working parents
Both in meetings. Both equally responsible. Only one number on file. Until now.
👴👩
Parent + grandparent
Grandpa's on pickup duty Tuesdays. Make sure he gets the call too.
🏠👩‍💼
Parent + nanny
Your nanny is there. You're not. They should get the call. So should you.
🏡🏡
Co-parents
Two households, one kid. Everyone deserves to know when the nurse calls.

"The nurse called about a head bump. I was presenting in a meeting but my partner picked it up and handled it. No need for two calls from the nurse, or for me to frantically text them on the side to call back."

"I got back to my desk and saw I'd missed a call from school. I had a text summary waiting — scraped knee, not urgent. I called back after my meeting wrapped. So glad I didn't have to drop everything."

"School nurses have hard enough jobs. Why should they have to call multiple parents just trying to get ahold of someone?"

The nurse is calling.
You're both going to know.

Setup takes two minutes. One number on file. Two caregivers get notified — whoever's free answers.
