Try Lore with a sample family
A made-up family: a parent, Jordan (a senior) and Maya (a sophomore), with lists, essays and award letters already in place, on sample colleges. Nothing in it is real. You get your own copy that nobody else sees; signing out ends it, and it is deleted later.
The first press takes a few seconds while the family is made. Parents see deadlines, money and progress; essays and experiments stay the student’s.
