ShuMag puts that "who goes where" on one board the whole family can see. ■ ShuMag magnets carry "data." ShuMag is an app where you place magnets on a Sunday-to-Saturday weekly board. But they aren't just colored blocks. Each magnet comes with the place, the kids who go, how long it takes, the drivers, and the reminders already "inside." Just drop it on the board, and the whole regular schedule comes with it. ■ What ShuMag can do • Place it, and the usual is set Each "Regular magnet" already has the kids, time, place, drivers, and reminders. • Regular plans line up for you Set a weekly repeat, and they're placed for you each new week. • More places, still one board After-school care, lessons, tutoring. However many you add, you can see this week's rides at a glance. • Share live with your family Just send an invite code. Even far apart, everyone can see the same board. • Reminders for each event Get a heads-up before it starts and before it ends, with the location and notes. • Edit even offline Works on the train, too. It syncs on its own when you're back online. ■ Rides on your Home Screen With widgets, your rides show up on the Home Screen and Lock Screen. You can see the next event and its drivers without opening the app. A large widget shows the next 7 days at a glance. *Widgets require iOS or iPadOS 17 or later. ■ Handy for families like these • Juggling activities After-school care, swimming, tutoring, youth sports.
