The problem
Running a household feels like running ops for a small startup.
The average two-kid family tracks events across iCloud, Google Calendar, the school's PowerSchool portal, the daycare's Brightwheel app, the soccer team's TeamSnap, three group chats with grandparents and sitters, and a paper flyer stuck to the fridge. Nobody has a single source of truth, and the cost shows up as missed pickups, double-bookings, and the same argument every Sunday night.
FamCove replaces that pile with one calendar that every adult in your household sees. Events are color-coded by parent. Each event has a coverage plan — who's got the kid — so handoffs stop being negotiated by text.

We were on three different calendar apps and still missed two pickups in a month. After a week on FamCove the “wait, was that you?” texts just stopped.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is FamCove?
FamCove is a shared family calendar and household-organizer app for iOS and the web. It gives every adult in a household one calendar with coverage planning (who's got the kid for each event), a school-PDF importer that turns flyers into calendar events, and a childcare reimbursement tracker for FSA / DCFSA / tax filing.
How is FamCove different from Cozi or FamilyWall?
FamCove adds three things the leaders don't: per-event coverage planning, a school-PDF / email importer, and FSA-ready childcare receipts. We're also ad-free (Cozi shows ads in the free tier) and built specifically with co-parenting in mind, including a court-ready audit log.
Is FamCove free?
Yes — the core shared calendar, coverage planning, and basic chore tracking are free. A paid tier unlocks unlimited events, school-calendar sync, and the reimbursement tracker.
Does FamCove work for separated or co-parenting families?
Yes. Co-parenting was a primary design target. FamCove keeps a court-ready audit log of every change, message, and handoff, and the coverage-planning model maps cleanly to custody schedules.
What devices does FamCove support?
Today: iPhone and iPad, plus a web companion at famcove.com. Android is on the roadmap.
Does FamCove sell my family's data or use it to train AI?
No. FamCove does not sell your data, does not run advertising, does not include third-party tracking SDKs, and does not use your data to train AI models. You can export everything as JSON at any time and delete your account in two taps.
