GrandPlan in one paragraph

GrandPlan is an iPhone app that turns “what should we do with the kids today?” into five good answers nearby: parks, indoor activities, and ice cream, matched to the age of the kid in front of you and checked by a safety-trained AI curation agent against one strict kid-safety checklist. It is designed grandparent-first — big text, plain words, no account to create — and it keeps nothing about the kids: no names, no photos, no birthdays. The free app is the whole promise. GrandPlan Pro adds the Guide, a plan-making concierge that turns a visit into a shareable family plan.

Fast facts

What it does
Five vetted, age-matched places near you, then one tap for directions. No sign-up, no browsing, no feeds.
Categories
Parks, indoor activities, and ice cream. That's the whole list, on purpose.
Coverage
601 cities across 38 states; 106,114 venues curated, 69,404 of them agent-verified (as of August 16, 2026).
Safety
Every place is checked against the same kid-safety checklist — cost, waivers, age and height rules. When a fact can't be confirmed with a source, the field stays blank and the place waits.
Price
The app is free. GrandPlan Pro is $14.99 a year; founding members at launch pay $24.99 once for Pro for life.
Platforms
iPhone, on the US App Store now. Android follows later.
Launch
Live on the US App Store as of August 9, 2026.
Privacy
No ads, no trackers, no accounts — in the app and on this website. Nothing about the kids, ever.
Founder
Kyle Smith, who built it after an early version surfaced places in Seattle his own relatives had never heard of. The longer story is on the About page.

Marks & screenshots

Three treatments of the bench mark — two figures on a park bench — and three real screenshots from the app with live data. Please don't stretch, recolor, or add effects to the marks.

Background, in your own time

The About page has the founder story. The Updates page is the running changelog — dated, plain-language notes on what shipped, plus the live coverage map. Everything GrandPlan claims publicly is on this site; if you find a number here that disagrees with a number there, tell us and we'll fix it the same day.
