Use the “Download Esse (iOS)” button on this page to download the Esse app from iOS app store. You can also search for “Esse Family Intelligence” in the app store. Esse currently supports iOS only.

After opening the app, you can choose to sign in using either:

• Sign in with Google

• Sign in with Apple

An Esse account will be created for you.

Esse is currently invite-only.

After signing in, you’ll be asked to enter the invitation code that was included in your email.

Why this step exists:

• We’re onboarding a small group thoughtfully

• It helps us support early users closely

• It lets us learn faster without scaling issues

If you run into any issues redeeming your code, just reply to the invite email and we’ll help.

Once your invitation code is accepted, you’ll see a short onboarding flow.

This is just a quick set of screens to:

• Explain what Esse does

• Set expectations for this early beta

There’s no setup required here — just move through the screens at your own pace.

Inside the app, you’ll have the option to link your Google or Apple account to unlock features like:

• Calendar awareness

• Email-based requests and tasks (depending on what you enable)

When linking a Google account, you may see a warning from Google saying that “this app has not been verified yet.”

This is expected at this stage of our beta and we are working with Google to address the warning.

Why this happens

• We’re in the process of completing Google’s formal verification

• As part of this process, we’re working with an independent security firm to conduct a security assessment

• Once Google’s verification process is complete, this warning will no longer appear during account linking

What to do

• Proceed with the account linking flow as instructed

• Esse only requests access needed for the features you choose to enable

• If anything feels unclear or concerning, please tell us — that feedback is valuable

If you choose not to link Google right away, you may not see this warning until later. That’s completely normal.

Once onboarding and account linking are complete, Esse is ready for you!

We recommend starting with:

1. Sync Up — your daily briefing and overview

2. Your Desk — tasks, requests, and things that need action

3. Planning (needs a bit more setup) — Set up your household and start organizing your kids’ activities so Esse can better understand how your family runs

You don’t need to do everything at once. Explore in whatever order feels natural.

If anything feels confusing, frustrating, or like more work than it should be, that’s especially valuable feedback for us.

And if you get stuck or need any help, don’t hesitate to reach out at support@esse-ai.co - there’s a real human on the other end.
