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.

Coverage planning

Stop negotiating handoffs by text.

Every event on a FamCove calendar has a coverage plan: who's actually responsible for the kid. We surface unclaimed events 12 hours ahead so you fix them in advance, not at 7:14 AM.

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 pet care app for the household — not the pet.

Cooper's feeding schedule. Mochi's vet phone number. Whose night was it to walk him. The Bordetella shot the kennel needs before next month's trip. FamCove stores all of it once, surfaces it to whichever parent needs it, and prints the sitter instructions + kennel vaccination record in one tap.

🍽️

Daily care

⚠️

Frequently asked

What does a pet care app for families do?

Stores everything a sitter, kennel, vet, or backup parent needs: feeding schedule, walks, meds, allergies, vet contact, insurance, microchip number, vaccinations, behavioral quirks, emergency instructions. Generates a printable sitter instructions PDF in one tap and a boarding kennel vaccination record on demand.

How is FamCove different from 11pets, Pawtrack, or Pet First Aid?

Solo apps tracking solo pets. FamCove treats the pet as a household member alongside the kids — the sitter PDF includes both parents' contact info, emergency contacts, and home address. Reuses every primitive (vaccinations, sharing, handoff) we already built for kids. Both parents see and update the pet record in real time.

Why do I need printable PDFs in 2026?

Boarding kennels reject expired vaccinations. New sitters need printed feeding instructions on the kitchen counter, not a pet app you have to teach them to use. Groomers ask for current Bordetella + Rabies records. Vet emergency rooms want history. PDFs work everywhere; apps don't.

Does it track multiple pets?

Yes — multi-pet household. Each pet gets their own profile + vaccination record. The sitter PDF generates one consolidated document covering all active pets.

What about pet medication?

Each pet has a 'medication notes' field for routine meds (Trifexis, Apoquel, insulin). Same sitter PDF includes them. Full pet medication tracking with dose-log (like our human medication hub) is on the roadmap.

Can the dog walker see the schedule?

Print the sitter PDF and leave it on the counter — that's the easiest. Sharing via web link is on the roadmap.

Is it free?

$1.99/mo per pet bolt-on (or $4.99/mo for unlimited multi-pet households) — added to your existing FamCove subscription. First 14 days free.
