Co-parenting is complicated enough without fighting about who knew what and when. Missed activities. Conflicting plans. The endless "did you know about...?" texts.
Homie gives both households access to the same calendar, the same information, the same source of truth.
The coordination problem
When kids split time between two homes, information gets lost. One parent schedules a playdate during the other's weekend. School events end up on one calendar but not the other. Permission slips sit in one house while the deadline passes.
Most co-parents end up with some combination of:
- Separate calendars that don't sync
- Group texts that get buried
- Assumptions about who told whom what
The result is missed events, frustrated kids, and tension between parents who are trying their best.
One shared view
Homie creates a single calendar that both parents can see and edit. When someone adds a soccer game, both parents see it. When a doctor's appointment gets scheduled, it's visible to everyone.
No syncing issues. No "I didn't get the invite." Just one calendar with all the information.
Here's how we've solved it in the Homie app:
made easy!
Notifications so you never forget an event.
Recurring events with support for exceptions.
Birthdays and anniversaries.
Holiday calendars.
Share and view in other calendars (Google, Apple, etc.).
Import your old calendar (Google, Apple, etc.) for a flying start.
Share links to individual events that people can add to their calendars.
Works across households
Each household can access Homie on their own devices. A tablet in Mom's kitchen and a tablet in Dad's kitchen can show the same calendar. The kids see the same schedule no matter which house they're at.
Changes sync instantly. Add an event at one house, see it at the other.
Reduce the back-and-forth
Instead of texting "what time is pickup on Friday?" or "did you know about the birthday party?", check the calendar. The information is there.
This doesn't solve all co-parenting communication—some things still need discussion. But routine logistics don't have to be a negotiation every time.
Routines that travel
Kids thrive on consistency. Homie's routines can help maintain some structure across households. Morning routines, homework time, bedtime checklists—visible in both places.
Even if the exact times differ, having a visual routine helps kids know what's expected without constantly asking.
Here's how we've solved it in the Homie app:
that you do regularly, like:
Leaving the house
Yearly Christmas preparations
Routine categories work like checklists in your day.
Important routines, like taking your medicine, will move to the next day until done.
Subtasks for routines with multiple steps like "Spring cleaning".
Skip or move a routine once.
Notifications for important routines.
For the kids
When kids can see their own schedule—when they're at which house, what activities are coming up—they feel more in control of a situation that's often confusing.
A tablet mounted somewhere visible lets kids check for themselves instead of asking "what are we doing this weekend?" They can see it.
Keep it simple
Homie isn't a co-parenting communication platform. We don't have messaging, expense tracking, or custody schedules. There are apps for that.
We're just a shared calendar, task lists, and routines. The basics that every family needs, including families that span two homes.
