One Little City

A family calendar for school + camp life — for the parents who already have a Google Calendar, a fridge, and a group text, and somehow still miss the field trip.

One Little City stitches your kids' school calendar, your forwarded school emails, summer camps, your co-parent's calendar, and your own Google Calendar into one page you can read in ten seconds. It pairs with One Little City Display on iPad — a family calendar that runs on the iPad you already own. No dedicated digital frame to buy. No counter space to sacrifice. No annual subscription.

WHAT'S ON IT

• Today, at a glance. Both parents' events, every kid's day, chores that need doing — color-coded by who they belong to.

• Your kids' actual school calendar. Pajama Day, picture day, the field-day water bottle, half-day dismissal — already there for Falls Church City Public Schools. No CSV import. No PDF download.

• My Calendar. One page for the whole family, with parent chips so Mom's calendar is one color and Dad's is another and the kids each have their own. Toggle anyone on or off.

• Forward an email. Get a private inbox address. Forward Mrs. Patterson's class email and we parse it into an event on the right kid's calendar. Even when the date is buried in paragraph four.

• Snap a flyer. Take a picture of the paper flyer on the fridge and it becomes a calendar event.

• Camps grid. Ten summer weeks, one row per kid. Booked weeks filled in. Empty weeks pulse yellow until you fix them. Tap a yellow week and we suggest the three best-fit FCC camps for that kid.

• Camp Concierge. Tell us what you need — half-day, ages 4 to 7, walking distance, under $250 — and we plan the gaps for you.

• Co-parent sync. Invite the other parent. You both see the same agenda update live. No more "did you see…" texts.

• Calendar connections. Connect your Google Calendar once and your events show up next to your kids' school events. Apple Calendar and Outlook coming in v3.1.

• Chores + rewards. Author chores on iPhone, kids tap them off on iPad. Stars on Sunday.

• Daily + weekly digest. A morning summary email and a Sunday look-ahead. Nothing else gets pushed at you that doesn't matter.

THE iPAD COMPANION

A new app this launch: One Little City Display, your family calendar on the iPad you already own. Pulls from the iPhone app. Drop the iPad in a $20 stand on the kitchen counter, prop it on a desk, or wall-mount it if you want — the whole week, every kid, both parents, visible from across the room. No login required on the iPad. Set up in 30 seconds.

Compared to a dedicated digital-frame device at $160–$600 plus an annual subscription, our math is simpler: you already have the hardware, and the app is free during the beta.

Search "One Little City Display" on the iPad App Store after you finish setting up here.

BUILT IN FALLS CHURCH CITY, VIRGINIA

We started here because we live here. Mt. Daniel, Oak Street, Meridian — already loaded. Outside FCC? The calendar still works. You connect Google, you add kids, you forward emails. The school-event auto-fill lights up the moment your district's calendar is in our system. Tell us where you live: hello@onelittlecity.com.

PRIVACY

Your forwarded emails stay private to your family. Your kids' names never leave your account. No ads, no tracking, no cross-app identifiers. We don't read your Gmail; you forward what you want parsed, and that's it.
