One calendar for the whole family. See who's doing what today, ask who can make it, know when to leave, and keep the grocery list where everyone can see it. EVERYONE, ON THE SAME PAGE Put your household in a circle and everyone sees the same plans, each person in their own color. Add a photo so everyone knows it's you. Keep a Personal circle just for you, and add circles for grandparents, a partner or friends planning a trip. KNOW WHEN TO LEAVE Give an event a place and Houseful works out the drive with Apple Maps, traffic included, then tells you when to head out, with one tap for directions. Choose a countdown on your Lock Screen, a single notification, or nothing at all. INVITE THEM WITH A TEXT Tap Text them an invite and send it the way you'd send anything else. They can join right in their browser, then get the app. Or type their email instead. SNAP A FLYER, GET THE DATES Take a photo or a screenshot of a school flyer, a team schedule or a text. Houseful finds every date, and you pick which to add. Snap a handwritten grocery list and it lands in Lists. FOLLOW THE TEAM'S SCHEDULE Got a calendar link from a team app, a school or a league? Add it once and the games land on your family's calendar and stay up to date: new ones appear, moved ones move, canceled ones come off. JUST SAY IT Tap the mic and say "Noah's soccer game Saturday at 9." Houseful knows your family's names and reads times the way people say them. ASK WHO'S COMING Adding an event to a circle doesn't buzz everyone. Tap the people you want to ask and see who can make it at a glance. If someone's already busy then, Houseful tells you while you pick the time. SEND IT TO ANYONE Text any event or list to anyone, even if they don't use Houseful. They see it on a simple page and can add it to their own calendar. Turn the link off whenever you like. REMINDERS THAT COME BACK Choose how much help each reminder needs: keep it in the app, get one notification, or have it come back until you mark it done. Tap Done right from the notification, and see the ones still to come on Today. LISTS AND IDEAS Shared grocery, to-do and wishlist lists show who already got it. Put a list on your Home Screen and check things off right there. Save the restaurant someone mentioned, a gift idea or a plan for the weekend, and filter them by circle and kind. BIRTHDAYS AND HOLIDAYS Add a birthday once and it comes back every year; birthdays you bring in from Apple Calendar do too. US holidays and major religious holidays show up on their own, or turn them off. MAKE IT YOURS Events stand out in their own color. Scroll the months up and down or swipe sideways, tap the title to jump to any day, and add a background: a live scene that follows the time of day, or your own photos. YOUR WEEK, EVERYWHERE Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, a morning summary at the hour you choose, and a read-only link for Apple or Google Calendar. Import events from Apple Calendar. Made for iPhone Duo, on the outer screen or open. Scanning sends only the content you choose to Houseful and Anthropic to find event details. Calendar import reads only the calendars you choose. Voice input uses Apple's speech recognition, and Houseful doesn't keep the audio. Time to leave works out the drive on your iPhone, from where you are or a home address you enter; Houseful only gets the drive time. Houseful is built by one person. The address on the support page reaches the person who wrote the code. No ads. No trackers. Nothing sold or rented. Nothing in the app is behind a paywall today. If a paid tier ever arrives, everything that works right now stays free, and anyone already using Houseful keeps what they have. Notifications need the iPhone app. The web version can't send them yet.
