What is a shared family calendar?
A shared family calendar is one calendar the whole household can see and add to. School events, clubs, appointments and birthdays go in once, and every grown-up sees the same plan.
That matters most when plans are spread across two homes or two busy work diaries, where a single missed message can mean a missed pick-up.
Built to be scanned, not studied
- Coloured dots show what's on each day without opening anything.
- Filters for kids, school, activities and events cut the clutter.
- Tap any day to see its plan underneath.
- Tasks and reminders live alongside events, so the day makes sense in one place.
Your own calendar stays yours
You can connect your phone's calendars to see their events next to your family plans. They stay private to you. Nothing is shared with anyone else in your household unless you choose to copy a specific event across to the family board.
Works for one home or two
Everyone you share your board with sees the same schedule, which suits families where plans need to be visible across two homes.
