My Family Calendar
My Family Calendar is a free family planning app that brings household calendars, school schedules, chores, reminders, and shared lists into one view.
What My Family Calendar is
My Family Calendar is a free family planning app that brings household calendars, school schedules, chores, reminders, and shared lists into one view. It connects to Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Compass Education, and ICS feeds, with day, week, and month displays that sync every few minutes and deduplicate shared entries. Families can assign recurring chores, record points and streaks, and view a leaderboard. Shopping, packing, and custom lists support two-way Google Keep synchronization. Each child can have a school view with reminders and an evening pack-for-tomorrow mode. Compass synchronization can show timetables, subjects, rooms, teachers, learning tasks, and school events. A touch-friendly kitchen tablet display offers kiosk mode and device pairing, while Google Maps calculates travel-time alerts. Users can run the MIT-licensed open-source project themselves with Docker Compose or use the hosted site. Analytics require a user-configured PostHog key.
