Set up a shared family calendar

Use this guide if your family relies on memory, scattered texts or one person's head to keep track of plans. You need each person's phone or email account and a list of regular commitments such as school terms, clubs and shifts.

Step by step

1. Choose one calendar app

   Pick a calendar that works on everyone's devices, such as the one built into your phones or email accounts. Create a new calendar called Family rather than using one person's personal calendar. Consider a paper wall calendar in addition for younger children.
