Complex Households and Families

Who this is for

Families with many moving parts. Homeschooling households managing multiple schedules. Shift-working parents coordinating around work hours. Extended family caregivers — grandparents and relatives helping with childcare. Busy households where "who's doing what today?" is constant friction.

Why it's strong

The problem isn't conflict — it's cognitive overload. When you have multiple children, overlapping schedules, and multiple adults managing different parts of life, you need one place to see everything. ComingUp Today gives you that unified view without asking everyone to share a single calendar or log into multiple accounts.

Key benefits

• See everything without logging into multiple accounts — one view shows all calendars
• Works great on a shared screen — perfect for kitchen tablets, entryway displays, or family computers
• Not tied to one person's calendar — everyone keeps their own calendar, but you see what matters
• Reduces verbal coordination overhead — fewer "what's happening today?" conversations
• Privacy-first — control what's visible without giving full calendar access

How it works

Connect calendars from Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or other providers. Choose what's visible to your household. Everyone sees a unified "Coming Up" view without needing to manage shared calendars or forward invites. It's read-only by default, so no one accidentally changes anyone else's schedule.

Recipe-oriented use cases

• Meal planning across households: Keep repeat meals accessible for parents, grandparents, and caregivers helping with day-to-day meals.
• Dietary preferences and allergies: Track who eats what privately and store household-specific prep notes that matter.
• Family legacy preservation: Capture handed-down recipes so family knowledge is not lost over time.
• Linked kitchen navigation: Jump between your cookbook and connected family cookbooks without searching for links every time.
