Famn — All-in-one for the people you live with. A household isn't really a place. It's something you hold together. Famn brings it all into one app: shared shopping lists, meal planning, the family calendar, chores, messaging, and home management. Real-time. In eleven languages. Free. EVERYTHING IN ONE APP Shopping & grocery lists • Shared lists everyone can update at once — when one person checks off milk, everyone's list updates instantly • Smart category organization that matches your store layout • Active shopping sessions to track what's already in the cart • Barcode scanning and price tracking • Receipt matching for completed shopping trips Meal planning & recipes • Save and organize your favorite recipes • Drag recipes onto the weekly planner; generate a shopping list with one tap • Import recipes from a URL or scan one with your camera • Send any recipe's ingredients straight to the active shopping list Calendar & family planner • A shared calendar everyone can see and contribute to • Multiple calendars shown together • Birthdays, appointments, school events, travel — visible to everyone Tasks & chores • Shared todo lists you can quickly assign to anyone • Recurring chores with weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly rules • A clear history of who did what when • Chore groups for kitchen, garden, kids, and more Messaging • Built-in chat — coordinate without leaving the app • Direct and group conversations • Real-time delivery, no refresh needed Property & home management • Track multiple properties from one account • Room organization, document storage (deeds, insurance, manuals) • Property-linked maintenance tasks • Financial tracking over time Contacts & sync • Add and organize household contacts • WebDAV / CalDAV / CardDAV support — sync with self-hosted or cloud servers WHAT MAKES FAMN DIFFERENT Everything shared by default. The household is the unit, not the user. No manual "share with my partner" toggle. Real-time, not eventual. Changes appear on every screen in seconds, over a persistent WebSocket. The cart updates while someone's still in the store. One app, not five. Shopping, meal planning, calendar, chores, messaging, and property — under one roof, on one bill. Eleven languages. English, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish, and Icelandic. Privacy-conscious by design. WebDAV / CalDAV / CardDAV support means you can keep your data on your own server if you want to. PREMIUM Most of Famn is free. Premium unlocks shopping insights and spending analytics, advanced account score tracking, and historical session data. Famn — less chaos, more embrace. ------ You can subscribe to access premium features such as multiple spaces.

About

Røst

Diktering på norsk – privat, og rett på telefonen din. Røst gjør om tale til tekst på iPhone, helt uten å sende et eneste ord til en server. Ingen sky, ingen konto, ingen sporing. Visste du at de fleste prater nesten 4x raskere enn de skriver på mobil? Røst hjelper deg å fange meldinger, idéer, e-post og notater så fort du kan si dem. DIKTÉR I ALLE APPER Med Røst-tastaturet kan du diktere rett inn i Meldinger, Mail, Notater eller en hvilken som helst annen app. Trykk på mikrofonen, snakk, og trykk på stopp, så havner teksten der markøren står. Tastaturet har også vanlige bokstaver med æøå, så du kan rette et ord uten å bytte tastatur. ALLTID PRIVAT All transkripsjon foregår direkte på iPhonen din. Lyd og tekst forlater aldri enheten. LAGET FOR NORSK Røst bruker NB-Whisper, en talemodell laget for norsk av Nasjonalbiblioteket. Den forstår norsk – inkludert dialekter, fagord og navn – merkbart bedre enn iOS sin innebygde diktering. BOKMÅL OG NYNORSK Velg målform i innstillingene. Røst tilpasser skriveformen automatisk. LAGET FOR Å FORENKLE HVERDAGEN • Meldinger og e-post • Idéer og hurtignotater • Førsteutkast til lengre tekster • Instruksjoner til KI-verktøy • På farten, når det er upraktisk å skrive STATISTIKK OG MILEPÆLER Følg med på hvor mye tid du sparer ved å diktere. Bygg vanen med daglige strekk og milepæler. START DIKTERING MED ETT TRYKK Sett iPhonens handlingsknapp til «Start diktering», eller legg til kontrollen i kontrollsenteret eller på låseskjermen. Du kan også si «Start diktering med Røst» til Siri. GRATIS Røst er gratis å bruke. Ingen abonnement, ingen kjøp i appen, ingen reklame.
