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.
