The problem

Running a household feels like running ops for a small startup.

The average two-kid family tracks events across iCloud, Google Calendar, the school's PowerSchool portal, the daycare's Brightwheel app, the soccer team's TeamSnap, three group chats with grandparents and sitters, and a paper flyer stuck to the fridge. Nobody has a single source of truth, and the cost shows up as missed pickups, double-bookings, and the same argument every Sunday night.

FamCove replaces that pile with one calendar that every adult in your household sees. Events are color-coded by parent. Each event has a coverage plan — who's got the kid — so handoffs stop being negotiated by text.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is FamCove?

FamCove is a shared family calendar and household-organizer app for iOS and the web. It gives every adult in a household one calendar with coverage planning (who's got the kid for each event), a school-PDF importer that turns flyers into calendar events, and a childcare reimbursement tracker for FSA / DCFSA / tax filing.

How is FamCove different from Cozi or FamilyWall?

FamCove adds three things the leaders don't: per-event coverage planning, a school-PDF / email importer, and FSA-ready childcare receipts. We're also ad-free (Cozi shows ads in the free tier) and built specifically with co-parenting in mind, including a court-ready audit log.

Is FamCove free?

Yes — the core shared calendar, coverage planning, and basic chore tracking are free. A paid tier unlocks unlimited events, school-calendar sync, and the reimbursement tracker.

Does FamCove work for separated or co-parenting families?

Yes. Co-parenting was a primary design target. FamCove keeps a court-ready audit log of every change, message, and handoff, and the coverage-planning model maps cleanly to custody schedules.

What devices does FamCove support?

Today: iPhone and iPad, plus a web companion at famcove.com. Android is on the roadmap.

Does FamCove sell my family's data or use it to train AI?

No. FamCove does not sell your data, does not run advertising, does not include third-party tracking SDKs, and does not use your data to train AI models. You can export everything as JSON at any time and delete your account in two taps.

One calendar. Every parent. Zero double-bookings.

Free to start. Set up takes less than five minutes.

The Cozi alternative for 2026 households

FamCove is what Cozi would look like if it were rebuilt today: ad-free, modern UI, AI-powered, and with the features Cozi never shipped — school-PDF auto-import, FSA/DCFSA receipt export, live coverage planning, and a webcal:// feed any calendar app can subscribe to.

What Cozi users tell us they miss

Three things come up over and over in our switch-from-Cozi conversations. Each one is built into FamCove from day one.

📅 School calendars without typing

Drop your school's PDF year calendar — even a multi-page printable — and FamCove's AI extracts every closure, half-day, and conference night. Cozi makes you type each one.

How school import works →

💵 FSA receipts that survive tax season

Snap a photo of a daycare or camp receipt, tag it FSA / DCFSA, and FamCove generates a Form 2441-ready CSV in December. Cozi has no receipt features at all.

FSA / DCFSA tracking →

📲 Subscribe in your real calendar

Every parent gets a unique webcal:// link they can add to Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook. FamCove events show up next to your work meetings. Cozi requires Cozi Gold for this.

Frequently asked

Is FamCove free like Cozi?

Yes. FamCove's free tier covers a single household with the shared calendar, coverage planning, chore tracking, and basic family vault — and it's ad-free, unlike Cozi free. The Family tier ($7.99/mo) adds unlimited events, school-PDF auto-import, FSA-ready receipts, AI insights, and Google Calendar sync.

Why are people switching from Cozi to FamCove?

Three reasons keep coming up: (1) Cozi free is cluttered with full-screen ads on every navigation, (2) Cozi's UI hasn't really changed in a decade, and (3) Cozi has no court-ready audit log, no school-PDF import, and no AI features. FamCove is built fresh for the 2026 family.

Can I import my Cozi events into FamCove?

Yes. Cozi exports to iCal — open Cozi on web, go to Settings → Calendar → Export, and you get an .ics file. In FamCove, the iCal-feed feature reads .ics directly. Or connect Google Calendar (FamCove pulls 60 days of events automatically) since most Cozi users also keep events in Google.

What does FamCove have that Cozi doesn't?

Live coverage planning (which parent has the kid for each event), school-PDF auto-import (drop a school year calendar, AI extracts every closure), FSA / DCFSA receipt export for tax season, AI weekly digest, and a webcal:// feed each parent can subscribe to in their existing calendar app.

Is FamCove available on Android?

Web app works on any device — including Android. The native app is iOS-first; Android is on the roadmap. Most Android users today subscribe to the FamCove webcal:// feed in Google Calendar to see all family events alongside their personal ones.

How long does it take to switch?

About 10 minutes. Connect Google Calendar (one tap), import your school's PDF calendar (drop the file, AI does the rest), then add the family-clock and recent-activity dashboards. Most families finish onboarding before their first cup of coffee.
