CentralLoop keeps your household on the same page — one place for the calendar, the chores, the grocery list, tonight's dinner, this weekend's photos, and the birthday wish lists. SHARED CALENDAR Everyone's schedule in one view. Import from school portals, sports schedules, and other calendars — even a photo of a paper schedule — and let the app sort it out. Birthdays and anniversaries stay on the calendar year after year. GIFT AND BIRTHDAY LISTS Every family member keeps a wish list. Add items from any store with a link, share the list with grandparents and relatives, and let them claim gifts so nothing gets bought twice — without spoiling the surprise. CHORES AND REWARDS Assign chores, set token values, and let kids earn toward rewards they actually want. Parents approve, kids redeem, and the family sees progress on the board. WALL DISPLAY Turn any tablet or old device into a kitchen display that rotates the day's calendar, chores, lists, and photos — with day and night themes that switch on their own. RECIPES AND GROCERIES Save a recipe from a link, a photo, or a PDF and it becomes a real recipe card. Tap the ingredients you need and they land on the grocery list. ALBUMS Share family photos privately. Create guest albums for events so relatives can drop in their photos, then relive the day as a story. BUILT FOR FAMILIES Profiles for every member, including little ones who don't have their own phone. Notification settings per person, so each parent gets what matters to them. Weekly catch-up digests so nobody misses what changed. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your family's data belongs to your family. Photos are stripped of location data on upload, and you choose how your encryption keys are held. CentralLoop is for households with a family account. Sign in and everyone's in the loop.
