A carpool schedule that rotates drivers and handles swaps

Set the weekdays, the pickup time, and the order of drivers, and the app generates the schedule, cycling drivers across the matching days for as far ahead as you need.

When a driver cannot make it, they request a swap and another adult covers it. Upcoming pickups appear on the household's shared calendar, so the driver gets the same reminders as everything else.

• Recurring rotations for school, sports, or activities.
• Driver order and pickup time per rotation; the schedule is generated automatically.
• Swap requests that another adult can cover.
• Riders see who is driving; adults organize and reassign.
• Upcoming pickups appear on the shared family calendar.

Parents sharing school and practice runs with other families and tired of the Sunday-night text thread.
