About

Turnabee

Read full description

Share plans with anyone. They don't need the app. Turnabee is a shared calendar for the people in your life: family, your partner, a sitter or carer, your team at work, friends you travel with. What you plan shows up in the calendar they already use on their phone (Apple Calendar, Google Calendar and more). They subscribe once. No app, no account. ■ What makes it different Most shared calendars only work when everyone installs the same app and makes an account. With Turnabee, only you use the app. On their side, plans simply appear in the calendar they already check every day, and they never pay. ■ Who it is for ・Family: the school notice, who does pickup, what is due when ・Your partner: dinners, trips, who handles what ・Caring for parents: check-ups, medicine and bills, shared with siblings and carers ・Work teams: meetings, shoots and deadlines, each in the right person's calendar ・A sitter: what to bring today, when the medicine is due ・Friends travelling together: when to meet, who brings what ■ What you can do ・Easy to use: tabs along the bottom switch in an instant, and pages slide in from the right ・Board: see today, tomorrow and this week at a glance, and tick things off when done ・Repeating tasks: trash night every week, a new filter every three months; the next one is scheduled when you tick it off ・Events: classes, dinners, appointments, with clear dates and times ・Find a time: Turnabee suggests a time when everyone is free ・Stickers: spot plans at a glance; they show up in their calendar too ・Group calendar: month, week and day views; tap a day to add, drag to move. Just right for a shared iPad ・AI reads notices: snap a notice or paste some text, get a list of tasks, and give each one to the right person ・Forward emails automatically: set a rule once in your email, and school or work emails turn into plans on their own ・AI assistant connection: connect your own ChatGPT, Claude or Grok Bot (in its app or on its website) and check, add and change plans just by asking. With Grok Bot you can also set up automatic reports, like a daily rundown of your plans. Turnabee has no built-in chatbot; it works with the assistant you already use ・Notifications: know right away when something is overdue or someone reports it done ・Widgets: today, tomorrow, this week, a week view and the group calendar on your Home Screen (the group calendar can show several groups at once); today's count, the next plan and tomorrow on your Lock Screen. The AI assistant can go on your Lock Screen too, or touch and hold the app icon to jump straight in ・Keep it secret: hide a surprise party from the person it's for, or show them just "Busy" ・Birthdays: a reminder 3 weeks ahead, with a time everyone is free already picked ・Helpers: someone else can manage the same group with you ■ Plans The free plan never expires. It is not a trial. Subscribe in the app when you need more people or more groups. The people you plan for never pay. Subscriptions are charged to your Apple Account and renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account's Subscriptions settings. ■ Privacy The people you plan for never give us any personal information, and they never see ads.
