Your kid answers in one word, and you've started to dread the silence after.
One text a day, with the words ready to go: "Text your kid today. Here's a starter: What's the funniest thing that happened to you this week?" Reply DONE when you send it.

What happens when you ignore us
Every other app you ignore. This one notices.
No escalation
Nothing dramatic. Nobody gets a text, no alarm goes off. It is just you, the streak you are about to break, and us asking again tomorrow.
- How often
- 1x daily
- Streaks
- We count every day you show up. Miss one and it resets to zero. It stings more than you would expect.
The whole setup, by text
No form, no app store, no password. You answer a couple of questions and you're live.
Text 1
Text 2
Text 3
Takes about 11 seconds. We timed it.
What it costs
No per-skill surprises. DadText is one skill, billed with everything else you turn on.
$2/mo
One skill. This one, if it's the one.
$7/mo
Five skills. DadText counts as one of them.
Questions you're already asking
Are the conversation starters age-appropriate?
Yes. You give us your kids' names and ages in setup, and the prompts match. A question that lands with a 7-year-old isn't the one we send for a 16-year-old.
What if I have more than one kid?
List them all. The daily prompt rotates so each kid gets your attention, and you decide which one today's text is for before you hit send.
Will my kid know this came from an app?
No. The prompt comes to you; you send your own message in your own words. They just see Dad reaching out, which is the entire point.
How do I cancel?
Text CANCEL DADTEXT and we stop. No phone call, no retention rep, no guilt trip.
Does it work on my phone?
It's SMS. If your phone can send a text, it works. No app to download, no smartphone required.
If this isn't your problem
Same category, different nag. One of these might be the one you actually need.
You read the whole page.
Just start.
DadText kicks in the second you text in. The hard part was scrolling this far.
