The SolutionFamily Calendar

The family calendar for families with two homes.

Like a Skylight, built for co-parents, and priced once instead of every year. $24.99 rather than $79 a year. Plenty of ordinary households use it too.

$24.99, once. Free for one calendar.

01

Every calendar from both houses, in one view.

Connect as many Google Calendars as the household needs. Vincent's, Georgia's, Henri's, Tamara's, the shared custody one. Each keeps its own color, and the whole week sits on one screen without switching accounts.

You find out when something moves.

Tamara's pickup slides from 4:00 to 5:30 on a Thursday, on a calendar that belongs to her other home. Vincent finds out from the app before he leaves work, not from a missed handoff at the curb. Henri's swim practice gets canceled at 9pm the night before, on his other home's calendar. A dentist appointment appears on Georgia's calendar that nobody mentioned out loud. Every one of those lands in a single running list, timestamped, so nobody has to hold the whole week in memory or compare calendars by hand to find what changed.

Everything that moved since you last looked

03

Two other homes. No line between them.

Vincent and Georgia are partners, one home, two parents. Henri, 9, is Vincent's and splits time with his own other home. Tamara, 7, is Georgia's and splits time with hers. Those two other homes have no relationship with each other, and this is not a problem the app is trying to fix. It is the shape of the family, and the calendar is built to match it rather than pretend it away.

None of this needs two households. If you have one house and too many calendars, it does the same job.

04

Rotation templates, built in.

2-2-3, week on week off, 2-2-5-5, and four more. Pick the pattern once and it tints the calendar automatically, on both sides, for as far forward as the calendar goes. Custody templates are part of the core purchase, not a module.

See all seven patterns.

05

Use the tablet you already own.

Kitchen Mode turns a spare iPad into an always-on kitchen calendar. No screen to buy, no second device to keep paying for. How it works.

06

The kids can decide how it looks. Or the adults.

Type a word and the calendar becomes it. Ocean, space, dinosaurs, whatever they're into this month. It sounds like a small thing until it's the reason a nine year old actually checks the schedule.

Pick a theme

The app takes any word you type. This page only has the ones we made earlier, so pick from these.

Showing: Sparkly jellyfish

The change marker stays the same in every theme, because it is the one thing that has to be noticed.

07

You shouldn't have to pay for a calendar every month.

Every other family calendar rents itself to you. A few dollars a month here, forty a year there, plus a screen you have to buy first. Add it up over the years your kids are still at home and it is real money for looking at a schedule.

Free for one calendar. $24.99 once for as many as you want.

Your calendars stay on your phone. There is no account to create, no password to reset, and nothing of yours sitting on a computer we own.

$24.99 once, not $79 a year

Skylight's subscription alone runs $79 a year, before the hardware. See the full five-year comparison.

08

This started as a fix for my own week.

Two households, four calendars, and a pickup time that changed without me hearing about it. I went looking for something that handled it and found monthly plans, hardware I didn't want, and apps that assume one house and one schedule.

So I made the thing I wanted, used it with my own family for a while, and then made it good enough to hand to yours.

09

Questions people actually ask

Is there a subscription?

No. One calendar is free, permanently. $24.99 once unlocks unlimited calendars. $39.99 once includes every module we ever build. No subscription at any tier.

Does the other household need to buy the app too?

No. The Solution reads the shared Google Calendars you already have access to. One purchase covers your household through Family Sharing.

Can I use a tablet I already own as a kitchen display?

Yes. Kitchen Mode is part of the core purchase, not an add-on. See how it works.

What does the free version include?

One calendar with every feature turned on. No timer, no nag, no expiry. Adding a second calendar is what the paid version is for. More on the free tier.
