Alfie review
A free web calendar assistant for households coordinating shared schedules.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Alfie is a free family scheduling service for households coordinating adults’ and children’s calendars. It brings connected calendars into a unified household week view and supports Google Calendar, Microsoft 365, Outlook.com, iCloud, CalDAV servers and public ICS links. Connected accounts sync in both directions, while public ICS links are read-only. Child profiles can be added without separate accounts, making the service suited to families that need shared visibility without creating individual logins for every child.
The published plan is simple: the Free plan costs $0 and includes household calendar aggregation and the assistant. Its scheduling tools go beyond a read-only family calendar. Users can ask natural-language questions about schedules, availability and events, review two-week conflict and availability checks, and receive optional daily summaries. The assistant can propose adding, moving or cancelling events, but calendar changes are written only after confirmation. Sharing controls also let households expose full details, busy-only status or a hidden calendar on a per-calendar basis.
Alfie fits households already spread across several calendar ecosystems, especially where two-way synchronization and controlled sharing matter more than mobile access or meeting workflows. Its focused design supports family coordination rather than broader scheduling operations: it has no official mobile app, scheduling-link feature, time-blocking workflow or video-meeting support. Choose Alfie for a free, web-based household view with an assistant and child profiles. A different calendar app is a better fit for users who need mobile apps, booking links, time blocking or integrated video meetings.
