A family calendar the whole house can see. Without opening your phone.
Google Calendar stays in one adult’s account. GetKnowen is the board on the wall, on the tablet and on every login in the house. Colour by person, lists beside the week, holidays loaded for your city.
The week leaves your head and becomes known to the house.
Most family calendars are one person’s account that everyone else asks about. GetKnowen gives every person a colour and a login, and puts the week where the whole house walks past it.
What’s on, who’s where, what’s for dinner
The Today screen is the one the kitchen looks at: the day’s events in each person’s colour, the shop list, chores and the weather, together on one page.
A noticeboard that stays signed in
Put an iPad or Android tablet on the wall and pair it with a QR code. It shows the week, and keeps private things off the screen.
Clashes show early
Two kids, two sports, one Saturday. Each person has their own colour so you see the squeeze before it happens.
Lists, chores and notes
A shop list everyone adds to, chores the kids tick off by age, and a corkboard of sticky notes. Parents set the controls.
Chats and food diaries are yours
Private chats are only seen by the people in them, and each person’s food diary is theirs alone. The wall only ever shows the shared house chat.
Everything the week needs, in one place.

Questions about a family calendar.
What is the best shared family calendar app?
One the whole house can see without opening an adult's phone. GetKnowen gives each person a colour and a login, and keeps a board on the wall so the kids can look for themselves.
How is this different from Google Calendar?
Google Calendar lives in one adult's account. GetKnowen is a house board: every login sees the same week, with lists, chores and notes beside it, and a wall display that stays signed in.
Can I put it on a tablet on the kitchen wall?
Yes. Open it on an iPad or Android tablet and the owner pairs it as a Wall login with a QR code. It stays signed in, hides private things like chats and food diaries, and shows the week.
Are chats and food diaries private?
Yes. Private chats are only visible to the people in them, and each person's food diary is theirs alone. The wall display only ever shows the shared house chat.
