Changelog
What shipped, when. Klonr releases several times a week; this page keeps the honest record. Entries describe what changed for you, not for us.
- new
New: your assistant can fill out forms on the open web
Some tasks only exist on a web page: an appointment slot, a restaurant's own booking widget, a school form with no email address to reply to. Ask your assistant to open the page. For anything it can submit (an RSVP, a permission slip, a reservation) it shows you exactly what it's about to send and waits for your approval first. Available on Solo, Family, and Power.
- new
New: type your card number yourself, right from the text thread
Some forms hit a payment or login field your assistant can't fill in for you, for good reason. Now, instead of stopping there, it hands you a secure link: tap it, type the one field it needs, and it finishes the rest. Nothing you type ever passes through Klonr itself. Available on Solo, Family, and Power.
- improved
Morning briefings on one-reminder days, and every day during your first two weeks
A morning with a single reminder used to count as "nothing worth sending" and the briefing stayed silent. It now sends. During your first 14 days the briefing also arrives every scheduled morning, even when the day is clear, as a short check-in with one way Klonr can help. After that, quiet days stay quiet unless you ask otherwise.
- new
Outlook Calendar support
Klonr now works with Outlook Calendar, not just Google. Connect whichever one your family lives in and your briefings, availability checks, and conflict warnings read from it. On the Power plan you can connect both at once (one Google, one Outlook) and Klonr treats them as a single schedule: it checks both before saying you're free, and events it creates land on your main one.
- new
New: step-by-step Gmail forwarding guide
A live test turned up two things: Gmail's forwarding settings don't exist on mobile, and the setting is hard to find even on a computer. There's now a hosted guide with pictures at klonr.app/guides/gmail-forwarding, and the assistant leads with that link before walking you through it by text.
- new
Instacart ordering is live
Your grocery list can now go straight to Instacart for delivery or curbside pickup. Ask by text ("order groceries for this week's meal plan") and your assistant fills the cart from your meal plan, staples, and one-off additions. Available on Solo, Family, and Power.
- new
A one-tap way to confirm Gmail auto-forwarding
Set up forwarding from the dashboard or by text, and Klonr catches Google's confirmation for you and asks "was this you?" A single tap or reply confirms it — no code to type, no dead-end email you'll never see.
- improved
A proper welcome when you finish signing up
Verify your phone number during onboarding and your assistant now texts you right away, so you can save its number before you forget. The dashboard also greets you with a confirmation that setup worked instead of dropping you in cold.
- fixed
Comparison pages fact-checked, corrections published
A reader (fine: the founder) caught our Ohai page claiming SMS was not available. It is. We re-verified every claim on all seven comparison pages against each competitor's current site and corrected what was wrong, including crediting Sense's chat assistant and Skylight's meal planning. Where we can't verify, we now say so.
- fixed
The French site is actually French now
The parents landing page had English hiding in the feature list, pricing cards, FAQ, and the demo conversations. All of it now reads in Quebec French, including the phone mockups. Prices show as 14,99 $ the way they should.
- new
Cookie consent, done properly
A consent banner now asks before any analytics run, in French and English. Until you accept, nothing is stored on your device. Quebec's Law 25 asks for this; we think it's just correct behaviour.
- improved
Batch requests get counted honestly
When you ask Klonr to add a whole list (every closed day on a school calendar, say), a new guard compares what it claimed against what it actually created, and finishes the job or corrects the count.
- improved
Dates from photos are now double-checked
When Klonr reads a date from a photographed calendar or flyer, it must now quote the exact text it saw, and the server re-parses that quote independently. Wrong dates get caught before they ever reach your reminders.
- new
Holiday dates can no longer be wrong
If a reminder names a holiday (Thanksgiving, Rosh Hashanah, la Fête du travail), Klonr now computes the real date itself and refuses to save anything that contradicts the calendar. Works for Canadian, American, and Jewish holidays, in English and French.
- fixed
Partner approvals reach your partner
Shared reminders sometimes executed without texting the other parent for approval. Fixed at the root, along with the channel routing that quietly downgraded some partners to email.
- fixed
Old reminders stop haunting briefings
A memory that said 'today' months ago could resurface as if it were still today. Klonr now anchors every stored date to the calendar, so briefings only mention things that are actually current.
- improved
Briefings held to a higher standard
Morning briefings now verify their own claims before sending: calendar deletions report exactly what was removed, weather comes from a live source, and stale goals stop appearing as fresh news.
- new
One-tap Instacart from your grocery list
The dashboard grocery list gained a Shop on Instacart button. Klonr builds the cart from your list; you review it and check out on Instacart.
- fixed
Reminder times rendered at send time
Recurring reminders now compute their dates the moment the text goes out instead of when the reminder was created. Series that drifted or repeated have been cleaned up.
- improved
Your language, everywhere
Grocery lists, Instacart carts, and confirmations now follow your account language setting instead of guessing. Households running in French get French all the way through.
- new
Instacart cart links by text
Ask for your grocery run over SMS or WhatsApp and Klonr replies with a ready-to-review Instacart cart built from your list.
- improved
Better reading of photographed schedules
Camera-roll screenshots of schedules and tickets are read more carefully: every line item gets captured, and dates are checked against the weekday printed next to them.
- new
Task triage for overloaded weeks
Brain-dump a pile of tasks by text and Klonr sorts them into today, this week, and someday, then checks in at the right moments. Built with ADHD patterns in mind.
- new
Weather in your morning briefing
Briefings now open with the day's weather for your city. Tell Klonr once where you live; opt out just as easily.
- new
Income and expense logging by text
Text Klonr a receipt photo or a one-liner like 'invoiced the Hendersons 250' and it lands in your finance log, with a confirmation batched so it never spams you.
