Our verdict on My Family Calendar
My Family Calendar is an open-source household organizer for families managing school schedules, shared responsibilities, and daily logistics. It is particularly suited to school-heavy households, including Australian school parents, with support for Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Compass Education, and ICS feeds. Families can bring these schedules into unified day, week, and month views, then add family profiles with color coding, recurring chores, shared lists, and school information.
The product’s main strength is its combination of calendar aggregation and household coordination. Chores can include points, streaks, and leaderboards, while the school view adds packing reminders and learning tasks. Shared lists support two-way synchronization with Google Keep, and Google Maps integration supports travel-time alerts. Daily briefing notifications extend the calendar beyond a passive schedule, while kitchen tablet display and kiosk mode make the product suitable for a shared household screen.
Basic features are free forever, and the product can be self-hosted with Docker Compose or accessed through the hosted website. That gives technically comfortable families control over deployment while retaining a hosted option. The trade-off is platform scope: access is limited to web and self-hosted use, so families seeking native mobile apps may prefer another calendar solution. My Family Calendar is a strong fit for households that want one school-aware dashboard for calendars, chores, lists, reminders, and briefings. It is less suitable for families that need meal planning or a mobile-first experience.
