Weave every calendar into one. Sports apps, school feeds, work schedules, the local event list that only exists in an email... your family's schedule is scattered across a dozen places. Tapestry pulls them all into one clean, color-coded calendar and can send tidy feeds back out to the people who need them. EVERYTHING IN • Connect Google Calendar accounts (read-only, we never write to them) • Subscribe to any iCal/ICS feed: TeamSnap, LeagueApps, PlayMetrics, school calendars, and more • Upload files, even Excel schedules • Paste anything with dates (an email, a web page, a flyer) and smart import organizes it and creates events for you MAKE IT MAKE SENSE • Tag every event by who and what, so messy event names like "SU26-U11B-GM04 vs WARRIORS" becomes "Jack: Game vs Warriors" • Rules do the busywork automatically on every sync: rename, recolor, tag, set durations • Build views like "Kids' Activities" that show only what matters to someone like Nana or the babysitter • Filter by person or category with one tap SHARE WHAT THEY NEED • Invite other people to co-own your calendars • Every view gets a private subscription link that works in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook • Nana sees the kids' games and recitals without the extras; your own calendar stays complete SCHEDULES CHANGE. JUST RE-IMPORT THEM. New season, new shift rotation, new monthly studio calendar? Paste or upload the latest version and the updated events appear. Same rules, same colors, no rebuilding. THE DETAILS THAT MAKE IT STICK • Set events as tasks: "Rover's heartworm pill" gets a checkbox to mark off every month • Birthdays that keep up: Kevin's Birthday (37) becomes (38) next year on its own • Reminders by email or push notification, per-person, so your reminders never ping someone else • Your original sources never change: every source is read-only, and your edits live safely as overrides • Set your own dark/light theme, color schemes, 12/24-hour clock, and week start preferences per-user, not per calendar. Free during early access. No Google account required. You already have enough schedules. Manage just one calendar.
