About

FamTic

Read full description

FamTic is a shared life app for families, couples, and parents. Schedules, anniversaries, shopping, tuition, notes, trip packing, living expenses — everything your fam tracks, in one app, with a sharing scope you choose per item. Family to-dos end up scattered across group chats — "What was on the shopping list?", "When is tuition due?", "Which lunar date is Mom's birthday?" FamTic puts all of that into modules, so your whole fam sees the same screen. ■ No sign-up • No email, phone number, or password. Open the app and start • One invite code joins your fam — the owner approves, and you're in • Changed phones? A recovery code brings your fam back ■ Try it alone first (Solo mode) • Use every feature by yourself, free, no invites needed • Whatever you build in Solo carries over when you create a fam later ■ A home screen of just the modules you want • Schedules · Anniversaries · Shopping · Tuition · Notes · Trip packing · Living expenses • Turn off what you don't use, drag what you use most to the top ■ Anniversaries — lunar birthdays included • Solar and lunar calendars, so a parent's lunar birthday or a memorial day lands right every year • Remind me on the day, one day before, or seven days before • Sorted by what's coming up, so this week's is on top ■ Schedules — the family calendar • Date, time, and all-day events, with reminders at multiple points • Add one and it shows up on every fam member's screen at once ■ Shopping — who added it, who grabbed it • Item, quantity, and a note, ready to check at the store • Shows "added by ◯◯" and "grabbed by ◯◯" so you buy it once ■ Tuition — never miss a due date • Amount and due date per subject, with a monthly repeat cycle • An advance reminder before the due date; mark paid with one tap ■ Living expenses — what did we spend this month • Log spending by category; the monthly total adds itself up • Shows who spent it, so you see the household picture together ■ Notes · Trip packing • A shared notepad for what to bring, what to buy, and what you agreed on • Packing checklists per trip, ticked off as you go ■ Per-item sharing scope • For each item, choose everyone, specific members only, or just me • Keep gift plans or personal spending on "just me" • Server rules enforce the scope too — items you can't see never reach your device ■ Characters that tell your fam apart • 16 characters and a nickname make it obvious who added what — no real names needed ### Who it's for - Anyone who wants family notices, shopping, and due dates out of group chat - Anyone who keeps missing lunar birthdays and memorial days - Parents tracking a child's tuition due dates together - Anyone who shares most things but keeps a few items to themselves ### Free, paid, and ads - Solo mode stays free, with every feature, for as long as you want - While you use FamTic for free, a single Google AdMob banner sits at the bottom of the home screen - Buy "Remove Ads" once to turn that banner off - Using it with family (creating a fam and inviting people) unlocks with a paid pass, which includes ad removal - The pass is a one-time purchase, not a subscription: the owner pays once and every member they invite joins free ### Your data - Shared items are stored in Google Firebase (Firestore), Seoul region, and sync between members - Solo mode records stay on your device only - We do not collect names, email addresses, or phone numbers. A nickname is a display alias you pick - Every reminder is a local notification scheduled on your device - The banner is served by Google AdMob; you choose in the app whether your advertising identifier (IDFA) is used for ads - Details: our privacy policy — https://lovelsh.github.io/FamTic/privacy ### Permissions - Notifications: advance reminders for anniversaries, schedules, and tuition due dates.
