Find your way around the calendar
Move between days and weeks, narrow the agenda to one person, and find an event in any month.
Where to find it
Calendar tab
The calendar is one agenda for the household’s events: appointments, clubs, school runs, parties and any calendars you have linked.
Moving around
- Swipe left or right to go between days
- Tap the week strip along the top to jump
- Tap a date to open that day in full
- Today, in the bar at the bottom, brings you back to this week with today picked. Its little calendar page shows today’s date. Tap the month name at the top for the whole month; the button in its corner, Go to today, does the same.
Narrowing it down
Tap the filter button in the header and pick someone under Who to see only their day, or a Category to see only that kind of event. This is the fastest way to answer “is Thursday actually free for you?” without reading four people’s commitments at once.
Searching for something
The magnifying glass in the calendar header finds an entry by name — “flight”, “dentist”, “swimming” — across a month back and a year ahead, not just the month you happen to be looking at. That is the point of it: you search precisely because you do not know which month the thing is in. Tap a result to open it.
Two letters or more, and it looks at titles rather than notes, so a result always explains itself.
On the Free plan the search reaches only as far ahead as your calendar does, three days, though it still looks a month back. With Pro it looks the full year ahead.
What shows here
Events only: the things that are happening, with a time and a place — your own events, parties, school runs, bank holidays, work shifts, anything shared by a linked family, your school’s feed and any linked calendar. Colour follows the person, so a glance tells you whose day is which, and each event’s icon follows its category: a plane for Travel (the train, the flight out), a party popper for a Party, and so on. The (i) in the header explains the colours.
Tasks are not on the calendar. They are all on the Tasks tab, by day, overdue first — that is where you tick them off, Auto-Balance shares them out, and you see who is doing what. Routines are not on it either; they live under More → Routines and on each child’s star board.
That is deliberate. A calendar that also carries every chore and every daily routine gets too busy to read on a phone, and the thing you opened it for — “is Thursday free?” — gets lost.
Adding something at a time
Tap an empty hour on a day’s clock and a new event starts at that time. To add a task, use Add on the Tasks tab.
