Everything your family needs to stay organised

Six tools in one app. Everyone on the same page, no double bookings.

Shared calendar

School events, sports, appointments, date nights. Everyone sees the same calendar, so you never double-book a Saturday again.

Meal planning

Plan the week on Sunday. The shopping list builds itself from your recipes. No more 5pm panic about dinner.

Shared lists

Shopping, chores, school supplies, packing lists. Tick things off from your phone while you shop. Real-time sync.

Family budget

Track groceries, school fees, activities and bills together. See where the money goes. No surprises at month end.

Family messaging

One place for your household to talk. Not buried under dozens of WhatsApp groups where important stuff gets lost.

Smart reminders

Push notifications for events, due dates and tasks. Set reminders 15 minutes, 1 hour or 1 day before so you actually show up on time.

Calendar

One calendar for the whole house

School plays, dentist visits, soccer practice, date night, deadlines. One shared calendar, colour-coded by person, so two people never accidentally book the same time slot.

  • Color-coded events per person
  • Push notification reminders
  • Recurring events for weekly activities
  • Trip planning with multi-day events

Built for real families

We built this because we needed it. The group chats, the fridge calendar nobody checks, the school event you only hear about at pickup.

Busy parents

Two careers, three school runs, one head trying to remember it all.

Single parents

When it is all on you, you need a system that actually keeps track.

Co-parenting

Two homes, one schedule. Both parents see everything, in sync.

Big families

Three kids, three sports, three schedules? Built for exactly that.

Your family's information belongs to your family

Separate household accounts

Every household is completely isolated. No cross-contamination between families.

No advertising, ever

We do not sell your data and we do not show ads. You pay for the product, not the other way around.

Role-based access

Parents, kids and helpers each get the right level of access and permissions.

Works on any device

Add to your home screen. No app store download needed. Works like a native app.

Push notifications

Reminders for events, tasks and messages go straight to your phone.

Real-time sync

Dad ticks off milk at the shop, Mom sees it update on her phone at home.

Pick your plan. The whole household is covered.

Every family member gets full access. No per-person charges. Cancel anytime.
