Family Collab Get the app
Calm planning for real family life

One shared rhythm for the moving parts of home.

Family Collab brings meals, tasks, calendar, lists, and budget into a single cozy surface — so the unglamorous, high-frequency work of running a household doesn't sit in one person's head. It syncs with the Google, Apple, and Outlook calendars your family already uses.

The home screen

A single screen that ranks what's left to do today.

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.

Daily focus

Close the ring by bedtime.

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.

Calendar

Month, week, and day views that share one source of truth.

Color-coded events for birthdays, school, work, appointments, and holidays. Overlapping events get an amber border 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."

Calendar sync

Works with the calendars your family already uses.

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.

Tasks & Lists

Shared tasks and lists you both actually look at.

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.

Chores & rewards

Chores kids actually want to finish.

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.

Meals

What's for dinner — decided once.

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.

Budget

Track expenses in the same context as the rest of home life.

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.

Family groups

One invite code, one shared household.

The small things that make it stick.

Beyond the big surfaces, Family Collab covers the details that decide whether a family app survives week two.

Home-screen widgets

iOS widgets show today's plan at a glance — and you can check tasks off right from the home screen, without opening the app.

Reminders & daily digest

Get nudged about due tasks, upcoming events, and budget limits — each type has its own toggle. An optional morning digest sums up the day with counts only, so nothing personal sits on the lock screen.

Private cycle tracking

Optional cycle tracking that lives on your calendar but stays private to you — shared only with the specific people you choose, if you choose.

Locations that just work

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.

Your data stays yours

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.

A design you'll want open

Warm, calm, and quick — with themes to make it feel like your family's, not another productivity dashboard.

Family organizer app FAQ

One app for the household work people usually split across five places.

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.

What is Family Collab?

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.

Who is Family Collab for?

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.

Does Family Collab sync with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook?

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, and a private feed lets any calendar app follow your family calendar.

Does Family Collab support shared tasks and grocery lists?

Yes. Families can create tasks, assign them, add due dates and reminders, repeat routines, and maintain shared lists for groceries, packing, errands, and more.

Can kids earn rewards or allowance for chores?

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.

Is Family Collab free?

Family Collab is free during the iOS beta. Email support@familycollab.app for a TestFlight invite.

How does Family Collab protect my family's data?

Sensitive data — money amounts, locations, health notes, and receipt images — is encrypted at rest, everything is encrypted in transit, and access is locked down per family with database row-level security. This is not end-to-end encryption: our servers can process data to power features. You can export your data and delete your account at any time.

Is Family Collab available on Android?

Family Collab is on iOS today, in beta. An Android version is planned.

Privacy & your data

Careful with your data — and honest about it.

Sensitive things — money amounts, locations, health notes, and receipt images — are encrypted at rest. Everything travels encrypted in transit over HTTPS, and access is locked down per family with database row-level security. We're upfront: this is not end-to-end encryption, so our servers can process your data to power features like budget alerts and family sharing. You can export everything and delete your account any time. Read the full Privacy Policy →
