Cove Family Calendar & Planner

The family command centre for shared calendars, tasks, grocery lists, chores, and shift schedules. Built for busy parents and co-parents.

Cove is the family command center your household has been waiting for.

One shared space for your calendar, tasks, grocery lists, shift schedules, and daily routines — synced instantly across every iPhone, iPad, and Mac in your home via your own private iCloud.

No ads. No third-party servers. No account required beyond your Apple ID.

YOUR FAMILY CALENDAR, FINALLY DONE RIGHT

See every family member's schedule in a single color-coded view. Add events and watch them appear on every phone in seconds. Import your existing Apple Calendar or any .ics file during setup so nothing gets lost. Recurring events, all-day events, birthday milestones, and location details are all supported from day one.

Assign events to the specific people they belong to. Keep the whole family informed without a single text message.

TASKS AND CHORES THAT ACTUALLY GET DONE

Create tasks, assign them to any household member, pin them to a specific date, and set a local notification so nothing slips. A quick-complete button lets anyone check items off from the main screen without extra taps. When every task on the list is finished, Cove celebrates with you.

Build chore lists for kids, errand lists for weekends, and shared to-dos for anything your household runs on.

SHARED GROCERY LISTS AND PANTRY TRACKING

Build a shared grocery list organized by aisle. Any family member can add items and check them off in real time while someone is already at the store. Track your pantry inventory with minimum-stock thresholds — when you run low, Cove adds items to your active grocery list automatically.

No more duplicate trips. No more "did you get milk?" texts.

THE DAILY COMMAND CENTER

Open Cove each morning and see exactly what today holds — upcoming events, open tasks, grocery count, pantry alerts, and your family's streak. Everything shown is your real household data, never guesses or placeholders.

The Command Center adapts to your day so the most important thing is always front and center.

SHIFT SCHEDULES BUILT FOR WORKING FAMILIES

Whether someone in your home works rotating shifts, nights, or irregular hours, Cove handles it. Build any repeating rotation — 4-on/4-off, 12-hour nights, Panama, Pitman, or fully custom — and watch it materialize as calendar events automatically. Mark individual days off, add overtime, and set payday reminders on your own pay cycle.

Every family member sees who is working and who is home. No more confusion. No more missed handoffs.

Cove is built specifically for nurses, firefighters, paramedics, police officers, and every shift-working household that has been underserved by generic calendar apps.

BUILT FOR EVERY HOUSEHOLD

Families with young kids. Co-parents coordinating kids' schedules across two homes. Couples running a shared life. Blended families. Multi-generational households. Shared living situations.

Add household members — including kids and people without Apple IDs — with a simple join code or a scannable QR code. No extra account setup required.

WIDGETS, BRIEFINGS, AND STREAKS

Cove's home screen widgets show today's events and open tasks at a glance. A morning briefing surfaces what matters before you have looked at anything else. Weekly recaps show what your family accomplished — tasks completed, events attended, top contributor, and your household streak. Siri shortcuts let you add events and grocery items hands-free.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

All of your family's data lives in your own private iCloud database using Apple's CloudKit infrastructure — the same system that powers Photos and Notes. No third party ever sees your family's information. Cove has no ads, no data selling, and no algorithmic timeline.

All plans include a 14-day free trial. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings.
