All of it, in one place.

Everything here is in the app today. Start with one calendar and add the rest when you're ready.

Create your account

The week, handled.

  1. Schedules land by themselves.

    Paste the team’s calendar link once. Every practice and game is on the family calendar, and when the coach moves one, it follows.

  2. Who’s driving? Everyone knows.

    Practices, games, carpools and pickups on one board the whole family sees. Sam’s two places at once? You hear about it before Thursday does.

  3. We catch what you’d miss.

    “Sam is in two places Thursday.” A day off school with no plan. A dinner with no ingredients. You see a few at a time, never another inbox.

  4. School news finds you.

    Days off, early releases, lunch menus, permission slips, assignments that are actually due: on the board, with the ones that need you flagged.

    From your school’s calendar link, school email or a supported connected school portal. Available details vary by source; email suggestions may need your OK.

  5. Dinner, planned with you.

    Say what you feel like making. It writes the recipe for you to review and save. Then add it to the meal plan and its ingredients to the grocery list, confirming each separately.

And the rest
