Personal Life Manager

Born from Real Family Need, Built for Modern Life

We built PLM because we needed it ourselves

Our Story: From Personal Frustration to Family Solution

Personal Life Manager wasn't born in a boardroom or from market research. It started with a simple but familiar frustration: trying to help our elderly father manage his increasingly complex life admin while juggling our own growing family's needs.

Like many UK families, we found ourselves constantly fielding calls about renewal dates, searching through different systems for policy details, and worrying whether important deadlines were being missed. Our father would ask the same questions about his insurance, we'd scramble to find the information, and everyone felt stressed about whether everything was properly managed.

Sound familiar?

We built PLM because we needed it ourselves.

The Perfect Storm of Modern Family Life

Like many UK families, we were caught in the sandwich generation squeeze. On one side, children growing up with their own complex schedules, school requirements, and activities to manage. On the other, elderly parents who needed increasing support with their finances, health, and home maintenance.

Add to this our own properties, utilities, vehicles, and the endless stream of renewal dates, MOT reminders, and insurance policies, and life felt overwhelming.

We were drowning in life admin – and we weren't alone.

Why Existing Apps Weren't Enough

We tried everything. Family calendars for scheduling. Budgeting apps for finances. Separate reminders for renewals. Photo storage for important documents.

But here's what we discovered: no single app handled the full spectrum of family life admin.

  • Cozi handles family scheduling brilliantly – but doesn't track insurance renewals
  • Budgeting apps manage money – but can't remind you about MOT dates
  • Document storage apps keep files safe – but don't proactively alert you to upcoming deadlines
  • Insurance comparison sites help you save money – but don't manage your ongoing policies

We needed something that did it all. So we built it.

Version 1: Just for Us

Our first version was rough around the edges – a simple system to manage our own family's chaos. We tracked:

  • Property details for both our home and Dad's bungalow
  • Utility providers and renewal dates (never again would we accidentally roll onto expensive standard tariffs)
  • Vehicle information for three cars across the family
  • Insurance policies with proper renewal reminders
  • Important dates from birthdays to school holidays
  • Health information for aging parents who needed extra care
  • Financial deadlines that could cost hundreds if missed

The relief was immediate. For the first time in years, we felt in control.

The Lightbulb Moment

Six months later, during a family dinner, my sister mentioned struggling with the same issues. Then my neighbour. Then colleagues at work.

We realised we weren't the only ones drowning in life admin.

Modern UK families are managing more complexity than ever before:

  • • 71% of the "mental load" falls on one parent (usually mothers)
  • • Average families track 15+ different renewal dates
  • • 18% of UK drivers admit to driving without valid MOT
  • • Families waste £1,847 annually on forgotten renewals and missed switching opportunities

Why PLM is Different

Personal Life Manager is the only app that understands modern UK family life in all its messy, complicated reality.

We don't just handle one aspect of your life – we handle all of it:

✅ Property Management

Every detail of your homes, from mortgage dates to utility suppliers

✅ Vehicle Tracking

MOT, insurance, tax, service history for every family car

✅ Financial Oversight

All policies, renewal dates, and switching opportunities in one place

✅ Health Management

Medical history, appointments, and care plans for every family member

✅ Family Organisation

Birthdays, school holidays, and important events that matter

✅ Document Storage

Every important certificate, policy, and record securely stored

More Than Convenience – Peace of Mind

For families caring for elderly parents, PLM provides something invaluable: certainty.

When your parent needs help with a renewal notice, you know exactly where their policy details are. When they're confused about a service provider, you can check their account instantly. When you need to coordinate care, all their information is in one secure place.

PLM gives families the confidence that nothing important will be forgotten.

Our Mission: Simplify Family Life

We believe every family deserves to feel in control of their life admin.

No more missed renewal dates. No more expensive mistakes from forgotten deadlines. No more mental exhaustion from trying to remember everything.

Personal Life Manager handles the complexity, so you can focus on what matters: spending quality time with the people you love.
