Everything you need to get set up and get the most out of it, in plain English.
Creating your family takes a couple of minutes. Here's the order.
Use your email, or sign in with Google or Apple. Whatever's easiest.
Set your home location. It tailors your calendar times and makes reminders like leave-by accurate.
Add each person with a name and role (parent, child). Add their school or workplace so reminders get smarter.
Share an invite code or link so the rest of the family can join on their own devices.
A few small habits and FamSynch starts doing the remembering for you.
Screenshot a school newsletter, roster or booking and drop it in. FamSynch reads it and turns it into an event on the right person's calendar.
Open the app to see Right now (who's where), Today (everyone's events), and Needs attention (anything to sort).
Tap the + to add anything by hand, and set who it's for and who can see it.
FamSynch watches the week so you don't have to hold it all in your head.
When two events overlap, leave no time to travel between them, or land too close to an exam, they show up under Needs attention. Free for everyone.
Open a clash and move, shorten, or reassign an event to clear it, days ahead, not in the car park.
Get a leave-by time based on the trip, plus a weather nudge: an umbrella for the school run, a jacket for the evening party. Premium
A short morning summary of the day ahead and the week to come. Premium
A circle is simply a group you coordinate with, beyond your family.
Make one for the soccer parents, close friends, or the grandparents. Any group you plan with.
Share a link. They land straight in the circle when they join.
Everyone sees the same events. Post an announcement (a quick update everyone in the circle sees) like “Game moved to 5pm”.
Use find-a-time and FamSynch suggests a slot that works for everyone.
Propose a plan and members reply: in, out, or suggest another time.
Across circles you share, you see when people are free, never their private details.
Prefer to just say it? Ask FamSynch in plain English.
Tap Ask on your home screen.
“Add Emma's dentist Tuesday at 3pm”, “Move soccer to Saturday 10am”, “Delete Friday's meeting”, or “Tell the soccer parents training's cancelled”.
FamSynch shows what it'll do. Nothing is created, changed, or announced until you confirm.
Already living in Google Calendar? Bring it in. It's optional, and per person.
Each person connects their own account. Nobody can connect it for you.
Pick exactly which of your Google calendars to include, and leave the rest out.
Synced events use the same Private / Busy / Shared choice as everything else.
FamSynch only reads your calendar. It never creates, edits, or deletes anything in Google.
One tap, from the app or your Google Account.
A few settings make FamSynch smarter, and your data always stays yours.
Add a child's school year or a parent's workplace so reminders and leave-by times get sharper.
Every event is Private (only you see it), Busy (others see you're busy, not what), or Shared (full details for the group).
Download or permanently delete all of your data from inside the app, whenever you like.
The full app is free to use, with 14 days of Premium to try. No card needed.
