Your questions, answered.

How does Leto work?

Leto works in two ways:

1. As a free partnership for PTAs and other organizations.
   1. Leto processes organization-wide communication from these partners.
   2. Families receive access for free to those organization-wide communications, via these organization partnerships
2. As a free account for families.
   1. Leto connects to up to 3 email accounts and processes incoming messages — including linked newsletters, PDF attachments, and images — from your schools, PTA, sports leagues, and other organizations.
   2. We extract the dates, deadlines, and action items from those emails, and turn them into tasks and calendar events.
   3. Subscribe to your Leto calendar feed, and everything shows up automatically in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or any calendar app you use.

See our step-by-step walkthrough of how Leto processes your emails.

How do I sign up?

Click “Join Now” and create your account—Leto is free, and there’s no credit card. During setup, you connect your email accounts and approve which email senders we process. You’ll be up and running in minutes.

What do I get with Leto?

Everything, free. Leto turns emails from senders you approve into tasks and events on your family’s calendar, sends a daily reminder, supports up to 3 connected inboxes, and lets both parents—plus anyone else you invite—work from the same account. If your PTA or school partners with Leto, its emails arrive automatically, with nothing for you to connect.

Does my school, PTA, or other organization need to be a Leto partner?

No. Leto works independently—connect your inbox and Leto processes emails from any organization you choose. If your PTA does partner with Leto, every family at that organization also gets the organization’s emails automatically, with nothing to set up.

How do I get a handle on all these school emails?

Leto organizes school emails for you automatically. It connects to your Gmail, processes messages from your kids' schools, PTAs, and activities, and extracts the deadlines, events, and action items into a single task list and calendar. You choose which senders to monitor — Leto handles the rest.

Is there an app that turns school emails into calendar events?

Yes. Leto processes your school emails and automatically creates calendar events and tasks from the dates, deadlines, and action items inside them. It works with Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook, and any app that supports iCal feeds. You subscribe once, and new events appear automatically.

How do I stop missing school deadlines and permission slips?

Connect your email to Leto and it will catch deadlines and permission slips for you. Leto processes your school emails, extracts every due date and action item, and puts them on your calendar and task list. You also get a daily SMS reminder so nothing slips through.

What’s the best way to organize school emails in Gmail?

Leto connects directly to your Gmail account and organizes school emails automatically. Instead of sorting, labeling, or filtering emails yourself, Leto processes the messages from senders you approve and pulls out what matters — dates, deadlines, events, and to-dos — into one family dashboard and calendar feed.

How do I share school info with my spouse or partner?

With Leto, both parents get their own login, the same family tasks, and their own calendar feed — all from the same family account. Connect up to 3 email inboxes so it doesn’t matter which parent the school emails. You can also invite any other adult in your household — a grandparent, nanny, or caregiver.

My kid’s school sends too many emails — what can I do?

You’re not alone — the average parent can get 80 or more school emails per month from PTAs, teachers, coaches, and afterschool programs. Leto helps by processing those emails and extracting only the actionable items: deadlines, events, permission slips, and to-dos. Instead of reading every email, you check one task list.

Is there a way to automatically get tasks from school emails?

Yes. Leto processes your school emails and automatically creates tasks from the action items inside — permission slips to sign, forms to fill out, payments due, volunteer signups, and more. Tasks appear on your dashboard and calendar feed without any manual entry.

Does Leto read linked newsletters and attachments, not just the email text?

Yes. Many school emails contain a link to an online newsletter or attach a PDF flyer instead of putting the information directly in the email body. Leto follows those links and processes those attachments so you don’t miss anything.

Newsletter fetching happens directly on Leto’s servers — content is never sent to a third-party scraping service. PDF attachments and images are analyzed by our AI provider (Anthropic) to extract dates and event details. Everything is processed and then discarded; only the extracted tasks and events are kept.

What data do you store?

We store the tasks and calendar events we extract, along with your account information and approved email sender mappings. We do not permanently store full email bodies, PDF attachments, images, or linked newsletter content — we process them, extract what matters, and discard the originals. All personal information is encrypted at rest and in transit.

Can I delete my data?

Yes, anytime. You can delete your account and your data permanently from your account settings. We’ll remove all of it, except a task or event from an email an organization also sent to another family, which stays for that family. For the full picture of your rights, see our Security & Privacy page.

Do you sell my data or show me ads?

Never. In the future, Leto will make money from family subscriptions, not from your family’s information. Your data is never shared with advertisers, data brokers, or anyone else. No ads. No data sales. That’s the whole deal.

Does Leto read my emails?

Leto only processes emails from senders you explicitly choose. We never process your full inbox. When you connect your email, we check sender names and subject lines to show you who is emailing you. You pick which senders Leto processes. Only then do we extract tasks and events from those emails.

Is Leto safe for my children’s data?

Yes. Leto is designed with family safety as a priority. We have completed CASA Tier 2 verification — an independent security audit required by Google. We use AES-256 encryption for all stored data, follow NIST cybersecurity standards, and never sell or share your personal information. Leto does not collect data directly from children — it only processes emails that parents choose to monitor.

Has Leto been independently security-audited?

Yes. Leto has completed CASA Tier 2 verification — an independent security assessment conducted by TAC Security, an accredited lab, under Google's Cloud Application Security Assessment program. The audit covers application security, data handling, encryption, and access controls, tested against OWASP standards. Verified March 2026.

What is CASA Tier 2 verification?

CASA (Cloud Application Security Assessment) is Google’s security verification program for apps that access sensitive user data like Gmail. Tier 2 requires an independent security assessment by an accredited lab, testing against OWASP application security standards. Leto completed CASA Tier 2 verification in March 2026, conducted by TAC Security.

Is Leto’s Gmail access secure?

Yes. Leto has completed CASA Tier 2 verification — an independent security audit required by Google for apps that access Gmail. Leto can only view your emails — it can never send, delete, or modify them. All personal data is encrypted with AES-256-GCM, and our data handling practices have been independently reviewed.

Is it safe to connect Gmail to Leto?

Yes. Leto has completed CASA Tier 2 verification — an independent security audit required by Google for third-party apps that access Gmail. Leto can only view your emails — it can never send, delete, or change anything in your inbox. All personal data is encrypted with AES-256-GCM. You can disconnect at any time from your Google Account settings.

Does Leto collect data from children?

No. Leto processes emails from parent email accounts. Children do not have Leto accounts and never interact with the platform directly. Leto does not collect personal information from children.

Does my school need to approve Leto?

No. Leto connects to your personal email account — not to school systems. Your school or PTA does not need to sign a data agreement for you to use Leto. Leto does not receive student records from schools and does not operate as a school data processor.

Which calendars do you support?

Any calendar app that supports iCal feeds: Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook, and more. You subscribe once with a calendar feed link, and tasks and events appear automatically. No manual entry, no additional apps to install.

Can both parents use Leto?

Yes. Each parent gets their own login, the same family tasks, and their own calendar feed. Leto supports up to 3 connected email inboxes, so school emails that go to one parent or the other all get covered. You can also invite any other adult to your account—stay in sync with your partner, nanny, nonna, nama, or nana.

How do SMS reminders work?

Every day, Leto sends a brief text message that lets the adults in your family know what tasks are due that day, or coming up within a few days. Wake up knowing what’s on the list—without opening your email or the web application. SMS reminders are included for every family.

What email providers can I use?

Currently we support Gmail accounts, with plans to support other email providers that support standard email authentication in the near future.

How is Leto different from other school email apps?

Leto is purpose-built for busy parents who are overwhelmed by school emails. Unlike generic email apps, Leto automatically extracts tasks, deadlines, and events from your school emails and organizes them into actionable lists. It is designed specifically for families managing PTA communications, school newsletters, and activity signups.

Does Leto work with Outlook or Yahoo?

Currently, Leto supports Gmail and Google Workspace accounts only. Support for additional email providers like Outlook and Yahoo is on our roadmap. Sign up for updates to be notified when new providers are added.

How much does Leto cost?

Nothing. Leto is free for every family—every feature, no credit card, no trial clock. That includes up to 3 connected inboxes, smart sender discovery, household access, the calendar feed, and daily SMS reminders.

What happened to the Pioneer Program?

It’s paused. The Pioneer Program will give the first few families at each school a free year of Leto if we introduce a paid subscription in 2027. Families already enrolled keep their access, and we’ve extended it so nobody loses out.

Will Leto always be free?

Not necessarily, and we’d rather say so. Leto is free for families today. We intend to introduce a paid plan in 2027 for families who want us to handle mail from many organizations at once. We’ll tell you well before anything changes, and everything you’ve already captured stays yours.

Can I use Leto without paying?

Yes—that’s the only way to use it right now. Leto is free for every family. If your PTA or school has partnered with Leto, the organization’s emails arrive automatically; you can also connect your own inbox and Leto will handle mail from any sender you choose.

How does my PTA get started with Leto?

Get in touch and we’ll handle the setup. Your PTA signs a partnership agreement, and adds a unique email address to their distribution list. Invitation links are sent out by your PTA or Leto, and families are able to opt in (organizations may also utilize our email whitelist feature to provide access).

Learn more about how organization partnerships work.

Note: organizations other than PTAs are welcome to partner with Leto as well!

Is Leto really free for organizations?

Yes. Leto is completely free for every PTA, school, sports league, afterschool program, and childcare provider—and free for the families they serve right now, too. Organizations don’t pay anything, and don’t need to change how they communicate. In 2027 we intend to introduce a paid plan for families who want extra features. If we ever introduce a charge for organizations, we will give at least ninety days’ notice and will not charge an organization that has not agreed to it.

What does my organization need to do?

Keep sending emails like normal. That’s it! No new tools, no new workflows.

Organizations add a unique email address to their distribution list when they sign the partnership agreement, and we handle everything from there. Families opt in on their own.

What kinds of organizations can partner with Leto?

Any organization that sends regular emails to parents: PTAs and parent associations, schools, sports leagues, afterschool programs, childcare providers, and more. If you send emails to families with dates, deadlines, or action items, Leto can help those parents act on them.

How do I get my PTA to use Leto?

Getting your PTA started with Leto is easy. Any PTA board member can create an organization account and invite families to join. Leto helps PTAs streamline communication by ensuring important action items from emails are never missed. Visit our Organizations page to learn more about organization features.

What tools can our PTA use to help parents manage school emails?

Leto is a free tool for PTAs that turns your existing email communications into organized tasks and calendar events for parents. Your PTA doesn’t change anything about how it sends emails — Leto works on the receiving end, helping parents act on the information your PTA already sends. It’s free for PTAs and other organizations.

How can our PTA reduce email overload for parents?

Partner with Leto at no cost. Leto receives a copy of your PTA’s emails and automatically extracts deadlines, events, and action items for every family that opts in. Parents get a single task list and calendar feed instead of digging through their inbox. Your PTA keeps sending emails exactly as before — Leto does the organizing.

Are there free tools for PTAs to help parents stay organized?

Yes. Leto partners with PTAs and parent associations at no cost, and it is free for families right now too. When your PTA partners with Leto, every family at your organization gets automatic task extraction, calendar feeds, and daily SMS reminders from your PTA’s communications. Organizations never pay.
