Turn the tablet you already own into your family's wall calendar. Kids follow morning routines with big picture tiles and earn stars for rewards you choose. Free to use. No hardware to buy, no subscription, no ads. ON THE WALL • The whole family's week at a glance, always on • Right Now: during the morning, afternoon or evening routine, each kid gets a card with big picture tiles and a ring that fills as they tap. Kids who can't read yet can follow it. • Kids tick off their own chores and earn stars • Stars add up to rewards you set. Kids ask on the wall, you approve on your phone. • Shared grocery and to-do lists that update live • A weekly meal plan next to the calendar • Ride badges show who's driving whom • A photo frame when the day is quiet, dimmed at night FROM YOUR iPHONE • Add events, chores, rewards and list items from anywhere • Magic Import: paste a school email, snap a flyer, upload a PDF or forward an email, and FamPad suggests the events, chores and list items to add. Nothing is added until you approve it. • Rides: mark an event as needing a ride and pick who's driving • Approve reward requests and see who finished what • Google Calendar syncs both ways: an event added on the wall goes into that person's Google Calendar • iCloud and school or sports calendars can be shown too, view-only • Invite your partner so you both stay in the loop • Pair a wall tablet or Apple TV in a minute with a one-time code PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your household's data, including photos, is visible only to your household. No ads and no tracking; crash reports are used only to fix bugs. Magic Import reads what you send it on our own servers, not through an outside AI service. Download a copy of your data or delete your account at any time from Settings. Also on Apple TV: your family's calendar and photos on the big screen. Questions or ideas: hello@fampadapp.com
