We're excited to share that Playdate is joining the Parent Gap campaign—a movement to close the parenting tech gender gap and encourage more dads to actively engage with family management tools.
Research shows that family apps are used by 95% women, creating invisible labor and less shared accountability. Together with Bumo, Fair Play, and other family-tech leaders, we're working to change that.
Here's how you can be part of it:
👉 Take the pledge: Visit www.parentgap.org and commit to inviting your partner to share the load
👉 Spread the word: Share with other parents who believe in partnership
This International Women's Day (March 2026), let's make family management a team sport.
With partnership,
Carissa Zadwarny
