The calendar fills itself in
Enter your children’s activities once, with days and times: every week the app knows who needs taking, picking up or looking after at home. Holidays included.
MyFamily Beta
Family life, worry-free.
MyFamily is the free app that organises your family’s week: your children’s plans and yours, who drops them off, who picks them up and who stays with them, together with the grandparents and the babysitter who help you. And now with your friend families too: meet up at the park, organise parties and give each other a hand with shifts.
Free · Nothing to download from app stores
With MyFamily, it’s sorted like this.
The same situations, inside the app: who takes them, who picks them up, who confirms with one tap.
And with your friend families
Meet up at the park, organise parties and give each other a hand with shifts.
The family agenda, on the tablet at home
Leave an iPad or tablet in the kitchen with the Family agenda: everyone’s day and month at a glance, who drops off and who picks up, always up to date.
Find a volunteer
A shift left uncovered? Ask several people at once: the first one to say yes takes it and everyone is notified.
“Can’t” and “I’ll be away”
Your helpers say themselves when they’re away: their shifts go to the ones to sort out and the app suggests who can cover.
Changes of plans in a minute
A sick child, school finishing early, an activity cancelled: the app recalculates the day and tells you what’s left to sort out.
And also
- Who does what in one tap, once or every week, with a warning if someone (an adult or a child) would need to be in two places at once.
- A shift handed to someone else arrives with your name and a few words of yours (“I have a meeting at 8”); the other parent answers “OK, I’ll do it” and you see it.
- A cancelled commitment (the doctor’s office closed, the match postponed): a few taps, with the reason ready to pick, and whoever had the shift knows right away.
- The calendar by week or by month, and a wrong change is undone with one tap from the notice.
- Your places on the map, and where the children should be right now, according to the calendar.
- For older children who get around on their own, and only if they agree, also the last location they shared. Only parents see it, and it disappears after 6 hours.
- Reminders before every shift, and shifts in your phone’s Calendar.
- Today’s weather and, from 7pm, tomorrow’s, also in the evening reminder: to get clothes and bags ready.
- You know right away when the children have been taken or picked up, and you choose which notifications you get.
- What to bring (the swimming bag, the permission slip for the trip): whoever takes them sees it, and a reminder arrives the evening before.
- Children across two homes: the calendar of where they sleep, grandparents included, and runs suggested to whoever has them that night.
- The school trip or the away game: change the place just for that day, even for one child, and whoever takes them knows where to go.
- Several families, one agenda: for helpers with more than one family, with a warning if two shifts overlap.
- Children who get around on their own: “goes alone” or “comes back alone”, and that shift no longer needs anyone.
- Rides shared with another family, even on alternate weeks: one week you drive, the next they do.
- Parents’ evenings out: “dinner out on Friday” creates the shift for whoever stays with the children.
- Your country’s public holidays are added automatically; the school calendar is chosen by region or imported from a file.
- A card for each child: allergies, paediatrician, who can pick them up, visible to whoever takes them.
- The Sunday message already written, for people who prefer WhatsApp.
- In Italian and English: everyone chooses their own language.
For parents
Set up activities, people and rules once. Every week you see right away what’s missing, and a change of plans (a sick child, school finishing early) is sorted in a minute.
For the people who help
No account to create: a personal link with their shifts, directions to get there and what they need to know about the children. If they help several families, one agenda for all of them.
For the children
When they start getting around alone, a link all their own: they see their plans and who takes them, ask for a lift and get the answer on their phone. With “I’m here” they tell you as soon as they arrive, and when they’re near the right place the page asks them. If they accept, when they open the link you see on the map where they are: only you, only the latest location.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost?
Nothing: MyFamily is free for everyone and is supported by voluntary donations through “Support MyFamily”. Donors get no extra features, and grandparents, babysitters and the people who help you never pay.
Do I need to download it from the App Store or Google Play?
No, and that’s on purpose. App stores cost money (yearly fees, commissions, a review for every update): without them MyFamily stays free and improvements arrive straight away, with nothing to download. You install it from your phone’s browser in a few seconds and it works like any other app, with an icon on the Home Screen and notifications.
Does it work for a single parent, or for children living across two homes?
Yes. When you create the family you choose how you organise: together, on your own or across two homes, and the app suggests the right things. Across two homes, “Where they sleep” says where the children spend the night, week after week, grandparents included; runs are suggested to whoever has them that night, and on changeover day the pick-up takes them to the home of whoever receives them. The app uses your names, never “mum” or “dad” on their own: it works for any family.
Do your helpers need to install it?
It’s better, so they get reminders. But they can also just open the personal link you send them, or get their shifts on WhatsApp.
How does the other parent join?
You add them in Family and send a personal invite from their card: whoever uses it joins in their place, with any email, and finds everything ready. It works once only and for 14 days.
Who sees my family’s data?
Only parents see everything; helpers see their own shifts and what they need to look after the children. The data stays in Europe, is never sold to anyone, and there’s no advertising.
