One app instead of five: patchio brings your whole family life into one place – calendar, tasks, shopping lists, school, finances, health, vehicles and more. Built in Germany for real family life, including blended families with two homes, a parenting schedule and separate views of shared events. IN ENGLISH, BUILT FOR LIFE HERE patchio is made for families living in Germany, Austria and Switzerland who would rather read English. School holidays, public holidays, grades and notice periods stay exactly as they work here – you just read them in English. Everyone in the household picks their own language, so you can read English while someone else reads German, with the same events and the same tasks underneath. Your household can work in euros, Swiss francs or pounds. WHAT patchio DOES • Family calendar with shared events, repeats, agenda and week view – across two households if that's how you live • Tasks and shopping lists that think along: type what you need and patchio sorts it into the right category, suggests what you buy often and gives each item an icon • Pantry with a traffic light, stock counts and a reminder before the best-before date • School in full: timetable, assessments with a countdown, a school letter scanner, school contacts and the Sunday weekly briefing • Finances: shared expenses with a fair settlement, contracts with a cancellation radar, budgets and insights • Health: medication with reminders, routines, readings and a journal – and a cycle log that stays strictly private • Vehicles, loyalty cards, directory, emergency card, points and rewards for the children, polls for family decisions • A family screen for the kitchen or the hallway: an old tablet or monitor shows the day on the wall, and you set it up here in the app FOR IPHONE AND IPAD On the iPhone it comes with you; on the iPad you get a sidebar, Split View and room for the overview. One account, every device, one subscription for the whole household. PRIVATE IS PRIVATE patchio doesn't sell your data, show ads or track you. Private entries stay private – hidden from the other people in your household too, if that's what you want. Hosted in the EU, and that's the end of the data collecting. BUILT FOR BLENDED FAMILIES Two households, one child, one plan: a parenting schedule with handover days, events shared between both homes, and everyone sees only what concerns them. START FREE Try everything for 30 days, no card needed. After that you decide – one subscription covers the whole household, however many devices you use. Questions, wishes, feedback?

Shifts can be edited, notifications name the carer, and the babysitter view shows recipes in the meal plan, the poison helpline for your country and the right day after midnight. Exports: calendar files, spreadsheets, contacts and your data export now open the share sheet, so you can save or pass them on. Shared routines: when someone shares a routine with you, you'll find it under Health in “Shared with you” and can tick it off there. For “n× per week” you can pick the weekdays. Tutorials: “Watch video” buttons in finances and the babysitter area. Videos you've already started get a “Watched” tick. School: the parent-letter scanner shows the detected time and lets you change it, and the A/B week prompt names the right holidays. Also: tab bars stay put when you tap them, amounts no longer wrap, all-day events show without a time in the import preview, and the app starts faster. ### 1.10.0 — 2026-10-18 Document vault, early reminders and private celebrations • Document vault: this feature was requested very often, and we built it with the greatest possible security. New: the access log shows every change to a share, you can photograph a document straight from the camera, and the "Documents expiring" card on the dashboard shows what is due in the next 90 days. • Early reminder for every task: get reminded a few days before a task is due, daily if you like. Now works for all tasks – household, private, groups and across households. • Tasks in your calendar subscription: due tasks can appear in the calendar you subscribe to in Outlook, Google or Apple. • Birthdays: a private celebration is truly only visible to you – in the list and on the printout – and only you get reminded. Sorting by name shows a flat list, contacts appear with their full name. • Default calendar view: the calendar opens with the month view. In your profile you choose which view you want to see first. • Learning videos right where you need them: "Watch video" in the calendar, in events, tasks, the custody schedule, the calendar subscription and birthdays – plus 16 new videos about birthdays. • Small things: the bell opens reliably on the first tap, and clearer error messages when opening the vault. ### 1.9.0 — 2026-10-11 Decline tasks and learning videos • Decline a task: if you can't take on a task you've been assigned, hand it back with one tap – with an optional comment. Whoever created it gets a notification and sees the entry in the task's history. • New notification "New task for you" whenever someone assigns you a task – can be turned off in your profile. • Learning videos: short videos in the help show how the calendar works. • Guided setup now knows living alone, couples and shared flats. • Shopping list recognises categories and icons more reliably. • Calendar import stores all-day events correctly. • Login page with a picture to match the season. ### 1.8.0 — 2026-10-05 Nicer printouts: the timetable and the birthday list now come with a motif – grid paper, blackboard, space or animals for the timetable; confetti, bunting or balloons for birthdays. Bold or light, portrait or landscape, or with no picture at all. Fixed costs by due date: the finance report can now show contracts in the month their bill is due instead of spreading them evenly. Your choice applies on all your devices. Also: multi-day events appear on each of their days in the printed agenda, and help jumps straight to the topic you searched for. ### 1.7.1 — 2026-09-29 This version fixes a bug in 1.7.0: on devices running iOS 27, patchio would no longer open after the update. That was a mistake on our side — we're sorry. Your data was not affected. Everything you entered is still there. The new features from 1.7.0 are all on board: subscribing to other calendars, importing bank statements from a file, and files and checklists on events. ## More apps by Stefan Mende - [patchio Sports](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/patchio-sports/id6795109558) All apps by Stefan Mende: https://appshunter.io/developer/6792500374 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
