The hardest part of a family meal is everyone being at the table at the same time. Synchrosophe is a family meal planner. It finds the meal times that bring the most of you to the table at once, which is the hardest part of any family meal. My daughter and I built it for exactly that. Tell it each person's day (when they wake, sleep, nap, which meals they take, and how long each meal keeps them full) and it finds the meal times that bring the most of you together. Drag a meal to try another time and watch how many can make it. Keep separate rhythms for weekdays, weekends and holidays, and adjust when a meal runs late or someone has to turn in early. Meals come with their little jobs, too. Chores (cook, set the table, clear it) rotate fairly among whoever is present, following each person's preferences, and a balance screen shows who has done what, week by week, with one tap to even out the coming assignments. The plan is truly shared: each member of the family can use the app on their own device, see their own day and duties, note a late wake-up, and propose changes for a planner to approve. For the holidays, you can even share a day type with another family, so joint meals are planned across both households. It's the ·sophe family's way of adding a little wisdom (sophía) to the meals we share. The same app works on iPhone, iPad, Mac (in the menu bar) and Apple Watch, with widgets and complications showing the next family meal, plus optional reminders before each one. You can also ask Siri (or run a Shortcut) to skip a meal, mark yourself away, set your wake-up time, or read out your chores. No account, no ads, no tracking, and your family's rhythm stays on your devices. Syncing and sharing travel through your own iCloud, never through us. (Activity calendars you subscribe to for a member can be fetched on request; nothing about you is ever sent.) One purchase: no subscriptions, no in-app purchases.
