How It Works

  1. Open any activity on your dashboard.
  2. Tap the comments icon to open the thread.
  3. Type your note and send.

Your comment saves immediately and stays with that activity. Anyone else in your family account can see it too, with your name attached.

Notes for Yourself

Sometimes you just need to write something down so you don't forget it next week. Put it on the activity it belongs to and it'll be waiting when you come back.

  • "We're skipping this one this year."
  • "Paid the deposit last Friday."
  • "Left my sunglasses at the field."
  • "Check with the coach about the 5/12 conflict."

Better than a sticky note or a random note app, because the comment is attached to the activity it's about. Next season, it's still there.

Notes for Your Partner

Comments are visible to everyone in your family account. If you invited your partner or a caregiver, anything you write shows up with your name on it. They can scroll the thread to catch up without a single text.

  • "Ordered the team hat, should arrive Wednesday."
  • "Told the coach we'll miss the May 3rd game."
  • "The field map in this email is wrong. Real entrance is on Cedar."
  • "Can you handle Thursday pickup? I have a late meeting."

Notes for Future Emails

This one's the best-kept secret. SuperDuper reads your comments the next time it processes an email about that activity. If you've left context on the thread, it gets applied to whatever comes in next.

Good examples:

  • "We drive ourselves. Skip any carpool threads."
  • "Lucas stopped taking piano this spring. Ignore practice emails."
  • "Her allergy note is on file with the coach."
  • "This matter is winter season only. Summer is tracked separately."
  • "We only do half-day pickup."

The more specific and action-oriented the note, the more SuperDuper can do with it.

Tip

Comments work well alongside Family Preferences. Use preferences for rules that apply across your whole family. Use comments for context that only matters for one specific activity.

Comments vs. Chat

Comments are notes that stay with an activity. Chat is where you ask SuperDuper to do something right now — fix a date, merge two items, rename an activity.

  • Use chat when you want an action taken immediately.
  • Use comments when you want to leave information for later. Later could be you next week, your partner tonight, or SuperDuper the next time an email arrives.

Tips

  • Keep notes plain and direct. "We don't do carpools" beats "I was thinking maybe we probably shouldn't do carpool this year."
  • Everyone in your family can add to the thread. Use it as a running log.
  • Reread the thread before a big event. That's where the useful context you forgot you wrote lives.
