A shared family calendar that merges Google, Apple and Outlook
Family calendar with manual event creation, recurring events, and series editing. Shows month and agenda views. Merges in events synced from Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook. Filter by family member, see who's busy each day, and get warned about scheduling conflicts.
What Calendar does
The household calendar: create events, repeat them, edit one occurrence or the whole series, and see who is busy on any day. Events synced from Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook appear alongside.
Other apps publish into it too. Carpool pickups, custody days, and reservations land on the same calendar without anyone re-entering them.

- How to share the mental load at home, not just the chores — Chore charts divide the tasks and leave the remembering with one person. Name the invisible jobs, hand over whole domains, and check the balance monthly.
- 2-2-3, 2-2-5-5, alternating weeks: the custody schedules, explained — What 2-2-3, 2-2-5-5, 3-4-4-3, alternating weeks and every other weekend actually mean, what each costs in hand-overs, and which suits which age.
- Splitting the kids' expenses between two households without fighting — Agree the categories and the percentages once, log costs with receipts, settle on a schedule, and keep each parent's own finances out of it.
- Setting the household up for a school year that does not unravel — The week before term is the cheapest week of the year. What to set up then so timetables, homework, lifts, and check-ups stop needing weekly decisions.
- How to run a youth team's season without a group chat — A youth season as a system: one team list, the schedule on every family's calendar, RSVPs by a deadline, the roll, and no family sees another's number.
- Keeping a class's parents informed without a group chat or your own number — A class as a system: one list of families, dates on each family's calendar, notices that expire, replies that reach only you, and no parent sees another.
- Keeping your clients informed when they must never see each other — For a tutor, trainer, music teacher or counsellor: one list of clients, your dates on their calendars, notices that expire, and no client sees another.
