FamGlow turns any tablet you already own into an always-on shared family calendar. Google + Apple sync, kids' activities and chores, weather, and photos — visible to the whole family the moment they walk by.
No new hardware · Syncs Google & Apple · Free during beta
Most family calendar apps live buried on one parent's phone. The events are in there — but nobody looks until something's already been missed.
FamGlow is a digital family calendar for busy parents that puts the whole family's week on a screen you walk past every day. It's a calendar app and a smart family calendar wall at the same time — on the tablet, in your pocket, on any browser.
What's inside
One shared screen for the whole family — built for the way families actually run.
Everyone's schedule, school calendars, and events in one shared family calendar. Syncs automatically — walk past the wall and you just know what's happening today.
A family schedule app with chores built in. Color-coded cards per child — soccer, piano, TaeKwonDo, plus the chores that keep the week running.
Turn any tablet into a smart family calendar wall. Always-on, readable across the room, beautiful even when no one's looking.
Connect the calendars you already love. Link Google Calendar or Apple Calendar and your events sync in — no re-entering events, no new password.
Real-time weather and a rotating family photo slideshow between schedule views. A command center and a memory wall in one.
Your next family trip front and center, with destination highlights — building excitement every time you walk by.
