Fam ETC: Family Planner & Chat

EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT TODAY LOOKS LIKE

Fam ETC puts the school week and the home week in one place, with one family thread down the middle. Homework, the timetable and after-school activities arrive from school without anyone typing them in. Lifts, kit bags and dinner get decided in chat and turned into the plan with a tap.

Built by a St Andrews Bangkok parent for St Andrews families. Fam ETC is not an official school app.

NOBODY TYPES THE HOMEWORK IN • Paste each child's private homework and timetable links once, in Settings at fametc.com • Homework, subjects, due dates and teachers land per child • This week's periods, rooms and after-school clubs sit in the family calendar • Checked every eight hours, only if the school changed something • Read-only: the link is encrypted, never shown again, and only ever read

THE THREAD WHERE THINGS GET DECIDED • One chat for the whole family, parents and kids • Turn a message into an action, a calendar event or a shopping run without retyping • Photos, GIFs and a buzz for the message that cannot wait • Parents keep the keys: any parent can delete any message or remove a member

ONE CALM TODAY SCREEN • What matters next for the family, then each child's day • Homework due, today's schedule and the next thing to leave for • Each child in their own colour, on iPhone and iPad alike

THE FAMILY WEEK, TOGETHER • Shared calendar with school events and family plans, filtered per child • Meals: plan the week's dinners, vote on Friday, and let the shopping list write itself • Trips: plan a holiday with the other adults who are coming — dates, bookings, who brings what • Daily 5: a quote, a word, a brain teaser, a puzzle for each age band and one good news story

MADE FOR KIDS TO USE, NOT SIGN UP FOR • Kids cannot create an account on their own • A parent creates every child profile and approves every child device • Kids see the family thread and their own day, and nothing else • Kids' data and every message are encrypted at rest

PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Passkey sign-in with Face ID or Touch ID, no passwords • No advertising, no third-party trackers, aggregate-only analytics • Your family's data stays in your family

Free on iPhone and iPad while we launch with St Andrews Bangkok families. Other schools are coming next.
