Q&A
Q: Is this only for chores?
A: No. Chores are one part. My Big Family is meant to help with daily family coordination: chores, kids’ responsibilities, family events, pets, and parent handoff.
Q: Do all events need to be assigned to someone?
A: No. Some events are for the whole family. Use whole-family events for school holidays, family trips, guests, appointments, or general reminders.
Q: Can another parent join?
A: Yes. A parent can invite another parent so both can share the same family view.
Q: Can kids use it?
A: Yes. Kids can have their own view focused on their missions and responsibilities.
Q: Is this meant to replace Google Calendar?
A: No. It is meant to be a simple family command center. External calendar integrations may come later, but the current goal is to make family responsibilities and events easier to see.
Q: What should I add first?
A: Start with the things you repeat most often: morning routine, evening routine, pet care, weekly chores, school events, and sports activities.
Q: What if something feels missing?
A: Tell us. My Big Family is in early access and is being shaped with real families.
