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.

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 sports team app for the family — not the coach.

Three kids. Three teams. TeamSnap for soccer, SportsEngine for baseball, a Google Sheet for gymnastics. Each with its own schedule, snack rotation, packing list, and uniform. FamCove unifies the parent-side view across all of them. Add each team manually, list the parents, generate rotations — done for the season.

First team free per kid · Multi-sport · Multi-kid · Works alongside TeamSnap

The four things every multi-team family fights

📲

Different team apps, different inboxes

TeamSnap's notifications. SportsEngine's emails. WhatsApp from the rec coach. Parents end up missing assignments because they're in 3 different places.

🔄

Rotations the team admin owns

Snack week, water week, carpool week — set up by the team mom in a Google Sheet at the start of the season, then forgotten by half the families. FamCove is parent-side, on every parent's phone, surfaced when their week is up.

🎽

Uniform chaos

Saturday's home jersey is in the wash, the away jersey was at school, cleats grew out last month, water bottle is missing. Sport-aware packing list pre-loaded so Sunday-night packing is a glance, not a panic.

🤝

Carpool coordination

Three families take turns driving to away games. Without a system, it's whichever parent texts first. Auto-fair carpool rotation across the roster, one-tap swap when life shifts.

Frequently asked

Is FamCove a sports team management app?

It's the parent-side companion. The team admin software (TeamSnap, SportsEngine, LeagueApps) is great at roster, dues, schedule. None of them are great at the multi-team multi-kid juggle a parent actually faces — Mira's swim, Eli's soccer, Ava's gymnastics, all running concurrently with different schedules + different snack rotations + different uniforms. FamCove is the unified parent-side dashboard across whatever team-side apps your kids' coaches happen to use.

How much does it cost vs TeamSnap?

TeamSnap charges $19.99/yr per team to the team admin (usually the team mom). FamCove is free for the first team per kid; $2.99/mo or $9.99/season for additional teams. A family with three kids on three teams pays under $30/season vs $60+ for TeamSnap (and TeamSnap is paid by the coach, not the parent — but you're often expected to chip in).

Does FamCove import from TeamSnap or SportsEngine schedules?

Manual entry for now. iCal import is on the roadmap so when your coach updates the TeamSnap schedule, FamCove pulls the change automatically. For today, you enter the season dates + game day yourself (5 minutes per team) and we generate the rotation forward.

What's actually in the FamCove sports module?

Per-team profile (sport, season, jersey #, jersey color, coach contact), parent roster (other families, manually entered), auto-rotation across the roster for snack/water/carpool/cleanup/fields setup, sport-aware packing list (soccer = jersey + shorts + shin guards + cleats, baseball = + bat + glove + helmet, etc.), one-tap swap with any other parent on the roster, season-wide assignment view.

Why don't the other parents need to install FamCove?

Because the parent roster is just names + phones — you enter them once, FamCove uses them as rotation slots. To share assignments, you can text the schedule via SMS or print it. The other families don't need accounts. (When you're ALL on FamCove later, the rotation will auto-sync — but solo works fine for now.)

What about uniform tracking + jersey numbers?

Each team has jersey number + color stored. The packing list is sport-aware (preloaded for soccer / baseball / basketball / gymnastics / swim / volleyball / football / hockey / lacrosse). Customize per team — your goalie kid needs gloves, your striker doesn't.

Does it integrate with the FamCove calendar?

Game/practice schedules are stored on each team and shown in the parent dashboard. Calendar sync (auto-create calendar events from team schedule) is a near-term roadmap item.

Three kids on three teams. One dashboard.

The parent-side sports app the team-management apps were never built to be.
