Family Collab puts the unglamorous, high-frequency work of running a household in one shared place, so it doesn't sit in one person's head. It syncs with the Google, Apple, and Outlook calendars your family already uses.
The Today view gives the household one focused surface. A ring of progress shows how close the family is to "done." Below it: who has tasks left, the one task happening now, what is up next, today's events, meals, and what is already done.
Today shows everything the family agreed to do, ranked. Tap a face to filter to one person. Tap "Now" to mark the active task done. The ring fills in real time.
Color-coded events for birthdays, school, work, appointments, and holidays. Overlapping events get an Overlap badge so nothing slips. Visibility is per-event: everyone, or specific members. Repeats handle real life — weekly practice, every other Friday, even "the last Thursday of the month."
Connect Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook — more than one account each, if work and home live in different places. Events flow into the family calendar and refresh in the background, and when you edit an imported event, the change syncs back to the calendar it came from. For Google accounts, turn on the Sync my edits to Google switch first.
Assign tasks, add due dates, set reminders, and make lists for groceries, packing, errands — anything. Tasks and lists stay scoped to your family group, not your inbox or a thread no one re-opens.
Give chores point values and they become a game: a family leaderboard, points that add up, and a rewards shelf the family defines — movie night, a later bedtime, real money. Kids ask to redeem; a parent approves. Allowance tracking is built in alongside.
Plan meals for the week, keep a family recipe book of saved favorites, and import recipes from across the web. A planned meal can turn into a shopping list, so the week's dinners and the grocery run stay one decision, not two.
Log expenses by category, set monthly limits per category, and keep recurring costs visible. Snap a receipt — or forward an email receipt to your family's private import address — and the expense fills itself in without retyping.
Everything in Family Collab is scoped to a family group. Create one to get an invite code. New people join as members, and the family admin can manage roles, permissions, removals, and admin transfer.
Beyond the big surfaces, Family Collab covers the details that decide whether a family app survives week two.
iOS widgets for today, the calendar, and tasks show the plan at a glance, and the shopping-list widget joins them on iOS 17 or later. On iOS 17 or later the Today and shopping-list widgets also let you check things off right from the home screen, without opening the app (the small Today widget is view-only).
Get nudged about due tasks, upcoming events, and budget limits — each type has its own toggle. An optional morning digest names the day's events and counts the tasks due; whether it shows on the lock screen follows your iOS Show Previews setting.
Optional cycle tracking that lives on your calendar but stays private to you — shared only with the specific people you choose, if you choose.
Event addresses autocomplete as you type, open directly in Maps, and can be fine-tuned with a pin when the address alone doesn't cut it.
Export your calendar as .ics and your budget, lists, and tasks as CSV — generated on your device. Delete your account, and its data, any time.
Check off tasks, edit shopping lists, and add meals or events while you're offline — in the store basement, on a plane. They sync when you're back online. Other changes need a connection.
Put a recurring chore on a rotation and it passes between the people you pick, so "whose turn is it?" has an answer.
Not every recipe has a link. Import one from a photo of a cookbook page or a recipe card, then review it before it's saved.
Sign in with Apple, Google, or an email and password.
Warm, calm, and quick — with themes to make it feel like your family's, not another productivity dashboard.
Shared family calendar, calendar sync, chore chart with rewards, shared grocery list, meal planner, receipt scanner, family budget tracker — Family Collab does these jobs in one place, because at home they were never separate jobs.
Family Collab is a household organizer app for partners and families. It brings a shared calendar with Google, Apple, and Outlook sync, tasks and chores with rewards, shared lists, meal planning, recipe import, receipt scanning, budget tracking, reminders, and family roles into one family-scoped workspace.
It is for partners, parents, roommates, and families who coordinate everyday home life together instead of keeping the whole plan in one person's head.
Yes. Connect one or more Google, Apple, or Outlook accounts and their events import into the family calendar automatically, refreshing in the background. Edits you make to an imported event sync back to the calendar it came from (for Google accounts, turn on the Sync my edits to Google switch first), and a private feed lets any calendar app follow your family calendar.
Yes. Families can create tasks, assign them, add due dates and reminders, repeat routines, and maintain shared lists for groceries, packing, errands, and more.
Yes. Chores can award points, and the family sets up rewards that kids redeem points for, with a leaderboard and parent approval. Allowance tracking is built in too.
