Your family’s events. All in one place.

No. All features are currently free; there is no paid plan. You don’t need a credit card, and we don’t show adverts. Sign up, set up your family and off you go.

No. Familienplaner runs online in your browser, on your phone, tablet or computer. There’s nothing to install: you open the page and sign in.

“Today” is the start view of your calendar: you are signed in, you see today, tomorrow and the next few days, and you can add and change events, on your phone, tablet or computer. The family display is meant for a tablet that stays in the kitchen: it works without signing in and shows today, tomorrow and the day after, open tasks and the shopping list. You tick off tasks there; nothing can be added or changed on the display.

Whoever manages the family can enter your place in the settings, as a postcode or a name; it is voluntary. “Today” then shows the morning temperature and the day’s high, for example “6° → 14°”, plus pictures from head to toe of what the children can wear, with a word under each one, such as “Woolly hat”, “Jumper” or “Wellies”. A tap shows the pictures large, for children who can’t read yet. Anything the pictures don’t show appears below them as a short tip. Pictures and tips follow fixed rules, without AI, based on the forecast from MET Norway. The weather may turn out differently: wind only counts through the feels-like temperature, and the app does not warn of severe weather. Without a place, no weather is shown.

In most cases, yes: it runs in the browser of common tablets, such as an iPad or an Android tablet. You pair the tablet by QR code and don’t sign in on it. It shows today, tomorrow and the day after, open tasks and the shopping list. With your place, it also shows the weather and, for today, tips on what to wear. It updates itself, and a tap on it fetches the latest state. You can tick off finished tasks right on the tablet.

As many as there are in your family, whether that’s three of you or several generations. Each member gets their own colour. You add children without an account of their own.

No. You add children as family members; they don’t need an account. Only adults who help with the planning need one of their own: the other parent, grandparents or a babysitter. The tablet running the family display doesn’t need a login either.

You create an invitation link or show its QR code. The link is valid for seven days and for one person. Whoever opens it signs up or signs in and is then part of your family, looking at the same family calendar. Anyone with an account in your family can change events, tasks and the shopping list and read the forwarded emails. Anyone at home who should only read along looks at the family display.

Your family gets its own forwarding address. You forward the email from school, nursery or a club to it. You don’t connect your email account for this. An AI reads the email and adds the events to the calendar, such as the parents’ evening on Thursday at 7 pm. Each of these events shows which email it came from, and you change it, or remove it with one click. Uncertain details are flagged.

The AI gets the email you forward without attachments (sender, subject, text), the names of your family members, your language, your notes for the AI and the details you have given, such as a class, a club or the sender’s role – not your email account. The analysis runs in the EU: on a model from Anthropic operated by Amazon Web Services or, if that is unavailable, on one from OpenAI. Both have committed not to store the content afterwards or use it for training. Vercel (USA) passes the data on, not necessarily within the EU. The email stays stored with us, and your family can read it. More: privacy policy, section 7.

It can happen: the AI can make mistakes. You change the event in the calendar, or remove it with one click; the email is shown with it so you can compare. You can bring back what you removed: just afterwards with “Undo”, later in the inbox with “Add again”. If the school later moves something and you forward that email too, the AI does not change the old event: a new entry is added, and you remove the old one yourself.

With “New entry”: you type a sentence like “Dentist Ben Thu 3 pm”, an AI fills in the form from it, and you check it before you tap “Add”. Without the AI, use “Fill in yourself”. After tapping “Speak” you can also say the sentence, where the browser has speech recognition: in Safari with Siri turned on, in Chrome only when recognition runs on the device. In Firefox, Edge and Opera, in Chrome without recognition on the device, in other browsers on iPhone and iPad and in a web app opened from the home screen, use the microphone on the on-screen keyboard instead. If you attach a photo or a PDF, the AI enters the events in it itself; we do not keep the file. The sentence goes to the same AI as a forwarded email; we receive no audio recording.

Yes. When you add an event, you choose under “Repeat” whether it comes back every day, every week, every two weeks, every month or every year, on several weekdays too, with an end date or without. You can move single events of a series or cancel them. If a forwarded email states the rule clearly, such as “training every Tuesday at 5 pm”, the AI adds the series; uncertain details are marked, and the AI can be wrong. Where holiday dates for all schools of your state or canton are available, the series skips the school holidays if you want. Tasks repeat too and, if you like, rotate between family members. School and public holidays for Germany, Austria and Switzerland are already included, and birthdays come round every year.

There is one list for the whole family. You type in what’s missing, several things at once if you separate them with commas, for example “milk, bread, 500 g flour”. In the shop you tick things off on your phone, and whatever you tick off is done for the others too. Your phone needs an internet connection for this. On the family display the list is there to read.

Calendar, tasks and emails are kept on servers in Germany, the AI analysis runs in the EU, and we comply with the GDPR. We don’t sell data and we don’t show adverts. You can download your family’s data at any time and delete your account yourself.
