Add an event to the family calendar
Put something in the shared calendar — who it involves, whether it repeats, and who needs reminding.
Where to find it
Calendar tab → Add
The calendar holds events, dated chores and school runs together, so the family’s week is one picture rather than four.
- Calendar tab, then Add.
- Name it, set the day and time, and choose who it involves.
- Save.
Types
As well as an ordinary event you can mark something as a birthday or anniversary, which recur yearly and show differently in the agenda.
All-day and multi-day
Leave the time off for an all-day event. An event that spans several days shows on each of them rather than only the first, which matters for holidays and hospital stays.
Repeats
Events repeat the same way tasks do, including every N weeks and an optional end date. See repeating tasks — the controls are the same.
Reminders
Each event can carry a reminder. The household default is set in More → Settings → Default reminder; see reminders.
Free plan limit
On the Free plan you can plan up to three days ahead. Equal House Pro removes the limit. Everything else on this page works on either plan.
