External calendar feeds

Paste an ICS URL from Google Calendar, iCloud, Outlook, or any other provider. Events from these feeds show up alongside your family events with a small "G" badge.

No external feeds yet.

Add a feed

Who this calendar belongs to. Their name shows on every appointment.

"Busy" hides the title, location, and notes — useful for personal calendars.

"Only me" keeps this calendar's events off everyone else's views entirely — they never leave the server for anyone but you.

⚙️ Settings

Everything about your own sign-in: who you appear as around the app, your password, and extra sign-in protection.

Profile
Your name, date of birth, colour, avatar, email and WhatsApp number — how you appear on events, tasks, and notes, and where 📤 sends reach you.
Password
Change the password you sign in with. Other devices are signed out when you do.
Two-factor authentication
WhatsApp sends
Shopping lists, plans, and recipes can reach you at . Change or remove it with Edit profile above.
Add your WhatsApp number with Edit profile above and FAMager can send you shopping lists, plans, and recipes — you'll get a WhatsApp to accept, and one reply switches it on.

Household-wide basics that everyone sees. Only administrators can change these.

What the family calls this app — shown in the top bar, the browser tab, invitation emails, and the shared calendar name.

Where the 💬 Support form (top menu) delivers feedback. Each comment arrives with the sender's name, their screenshot if attached, and a system-details file for troubleshooting.

FAMager emails invitations, task notifications, Support messages, and anything members send with 📤 Send → Email. Delivery uses the server's central mail account; each member's own login email is where their sends arrive and where replies go. Use this to confirm delivery works end to end.

Who's in the household, what they can do, and how they get in. Only administrators manage members — everyone else updates their own details (including their WhatsApp number) under Settings → Account.

Invite people by email (they set their own password), edit profiles and roles, or remove someone. Up to 6 members; members without an email appear on the rota but can't sign in.

You've reached 6 family members. Remove someone first to invite another.

Pending invitations

Two directions of calendar sharing: publish the family calendar out to everyone's phones, and bring external calendars in to show alongside family events. The ❓ Help button has step-by-step instructions for Google, Apple, and Outlook.

📤 Share the family calendar outbound

This private link is a live, read-only feed of all family events and dated tasks in the standard calendar format (ICS). Any family member can subscribe from Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook and see family events alongside their own — changes flow through automatically, and nothing can be edited from outside. The link works without a sign-in, so treat it like a key: anyone who has it can read the calendar. Only share it with people you trust.

Copy the link, then add it to your own calendar app as a subscription — the ❓ Help button has step-by-step instructions for iPhone/iPad, Mac, Google Calendar, and Outlook. Apple Calendar & Outlook refresh every ~15 minutes; Google refreshes on its own schedule (usually a few hours). Regenerating the link permanently cuts off anyone using the old one — everyone must re-subscribe with the new link.

📥 External calendars in FAMager inbound

Bring other calendars — school terms, sports fixtures, a work calendar — into the family views by pasting their ICS address. Anyone in the family can connect a calendar, and each one has its own controls: Visible to decides whether everyone sees its events or only you; Show as can mask a personal calendar to just "Busy" blocks; the 👁️ Calendars menu on the Calendar page shows or hides each one without disconnecting it. Connected calendars are read-only — FAMager never changes anything in the source calendar.

The ❓ Help button above explains where to find your calendar's ICS address on each platform.

The rows of the meal planner — one per meal your family plans each day, in the order they'll appear. Renaming applies everywhere immediately; removing a meal keeps all its past planning history.

Six meals is the maximum — remove one to add another.

One AI setting for the whole app: recipe import from text or photos, tidy-ups of names and titles, and automatic shopping-aisle sorting all use whichever provider is chosen here. With no AI configured those features simply hide — nothing else breaks.

✅ Currently using the household default (Claude, provided by the server). Pick a provider below to use your own account instead.

✅ Currently using your own credentials.

⛔ No AI configured — smart features are hidden until a provider is set up.

"Household default" uses the key provided by the server, if one is installed. Choosing a provider uses your own account and its billing.

Stored on this server only, never shown again after saving.

Leave blank for sensible defaults (a fast model for tidy-ups, a stronger one for recipe reading).

Demo content and the big red button. Sample data is safe — it adds alongside your own and removes cleanly. Deleting all data is not.

A record of everything that changed in the app — who did what, and when. Sign-ins, edits, deletions, settings changes, sample data, comments. The newest 5000 events are kept.

WhenWhoWhat

Nothing recorded yet — events appear here as the family uses the app.

❓

Regenerate share link?

A brand-new link will be created and the current one will stop working. Anyone subscribed to the old link will need the new one to keep seeing events.

Reset and re-run onboarding?

Everything goes — other members, events, tasks, notes, recipes, meal plans, shopping — but your login stays. You'll land in the first-run wizard next, signed in as yourself.

Delete everything?

This removes every family member, event, task, shopping item, and calendar feed and can't be undone. You'll be walked through setup again.
