Cria Planner
Read full descriptionHide full description
One planner for your whole crew. Cria Planner is a shared family calendar, to-do list, meal planner, notebook and budget in one app, so the school run, the food shop and the summer trip stop living in five different apps. Free for two. PLAN TOGETHER Create a shared space for anything, from the household to the summer trip, and invite your people. Everyone sees the same events, the same lists and the same notes, updated the moment anyone changes anything. And everyone you invite gets the full app free — one subscription covers the whole family. MEALS AND THE FOOD SHOP Plan the week's meals, drag them between days when things change, and every ingredient lands on one shared shopping list — your grocery list, grouped by shop, with the sizes and prices it remembers from last time. Plan ahead from meals you have already cooked, or load a ready-made week. Keep proper recipes, link them to the meals that use them, and send one to another Cria Planner user in a tap. STOP CHASING EVERYONE Assign a task to someone and set a reminder that reaches their phone, not just yours. When they forget anyway, nudge them: one tap pings their phone right now, and they answer "On it" straight from the notification without opening the app. Built for busy households, forgetful teenagers, and keeping a gentle eye on parents and grandparents. SPLIT THE COSTS Give any space a budget. Log what everyone spends, split it between members — or with guests who don't need the app at all — then settle up in one round where each person ticks off what they've paid. Who owes who, solved. YOUR WHOLE DAY, ONE SCREEN My Day gathers today's events, due tasks and pinned notes from every space into a single feed. Open the app, see what matters, get on with your day. LET CRIA BUILD IT Describe the trip or the week ahead and the Cria assistant sets up the whole space for you, events and tasks and all. Included with Family. EVERYTHING ELSE - Organize: every space, meal plan and budget on one screen, with your favourites on top - Month, week and day calendar views, colour-coded by space - Quick add that reads plain English: type "dentist tomorrow 3pm" and the date sets itself - Import the events already sitting in your device calendar - Subtasks, five priority levels, drag to reorder, and a satisfying tick - Formatted notes with headings, lists, checklists, pictures and file attachments, lockable behind Face ID when they are private - Voice dictation into any note - Recurring events, snooze buttons on reminders, and a morning digest at 8am - Accent colours, dark mode, and an animal avatar for everyone in the space WORKS OFFLINE The full planner runs on your device with no account and no connection needed. Sign in, and everything syncs across your devices and criaplanner.com in any browser. PLANS Free - the whole planner, synced across your devices. Share any space with one other person, plan this week's meals and keep 5 recipes. Ads after your first week. Duo - the full app for two, ad-free: the meal planner a month ahead with its history and your meal library, unlimited recipes and week templates. Family - everything in Duo for your whole household, plus the Cria assistant and photos on your notes. Subscriptions are monthly or yearly, auto-renewing until cancelled, and yearly saves up to 30%. Prices are shown in your own currency in the app before you buy. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.
