A family planner that tracks each child's activities, gear, payments and chores
Asked for by a father of three on r/AppIdeas · original source · more from r/AppIdeas
Parents of several kids lose track of practice times, equipment to pack, fees due and chores. Add each child, their activities and reminders, and see a family tablet view for the day. Calendars are too clunky for gear lists and bills.

The weekend plan
A rough weekend-sized plan to help you start. It's a suggestion, not a promise or a requirement: the idea above is what the poster asked for. Change anything. About the steward
- Done for one weekend
- Parents add each child and their activities, and a tablet-friendly "today" view shows who goes where, what to pack, what's due and whose chores are up.
- Suggested shape
- Tablet-first web app that keeps the data on the device
- In scope
- Add each child, and for each one their activities with days and times.
- A gear list for each activity, shown as a packing checklist on the days it happens.
- Fees and payments with due dates, and a tick when paid.
- Chores for each child, with a tick when done.
- A "today" view for a tablet on the kitchen counter with every child's activities, what to pack, what's due and chores, in big text.
- Optional, if there's time
- Reminders before practices or fee due dates.
- The same planner on both parents' phones. This needs accounts and a server.
