Everything your household needs
One place for the schedules, lists, and reminders that keep a family moving.
Shared schedules
Every family member sees the same calendar. Multi-day and recurring events just work — soccer practice, date night, garbage day.
Color-coded members
Each member gets their own color so you can spot who has what at a glance. Toggle members on and off to focus.
Shared shopping list
Add items on any device. Groceries are auto-sorted into supermarket departments so your shopping trip is in order.
Household dashboard
Designed to stay up on a kitchen tablet. A persistent, glanceable view of what your family is doing today.
Multi-admin & invites
Two admins keep things running. Invite up to 12 members with secure, admin-managed invitations.
Private events
Mark events private when you need to. Admins see everything; members see the family view.
Made for real
family life
From the kitchen tablet to the phone in your hand —
FamDates keeps everyone in sync.
Loved by busy families
Real families, fewer missed appointments.
"We stopped double-booking the kids the first week. The color coding makes it obvious who has what."

"Having it up on the kitchen tablet means nobody asks 'what's for dinner' or 'where's the game' anymore."

"The shared shopping list auto-sorted by aisle is a small thing that saves me ten minutes every trip."
