The family calendar app made for Australian families.
School terms, Saturday sport, pickups and the shopping list — on the tablet you already own and every phone in the house. Priced in Australian dollars, and your family’s data stays in Sydney.
Built for how the week actually runs in an Aussie house.
Four terms, Saturday sport, a long weekend nobody saw coming and one parent who carries the whole lot in their head. GetKnowen puts it all on one board the whole house can see.
School holidays and public holidays, already in
Pick your city and the school holidays and public holidays load onto the board, so pupil-free days and the long weekend show up before anyone books a sleepover. On Family and Family+, paste your school’s calendar link and term events sit there too.
A$4.99
A month for Family Lite. Family is A$9.99 and Family+ is A$14.99. No US-dollar conversion and no surprise fees on your card.
Footy, netball, swim, Auskick
Each kid gets their own colour, so two games at 9 am show on Sunday night, not in the car. Paste the club’s calendar link, or snap the fixture.
The school note goes on the board, not in the bag
Photograph the excursion note, say it out loud, or forward the school email to your family’s own address. It lands on the family calendar with the date and time for everyone to see.
Your family’s data stays in Australia
Your board is stored in Sydney, private to the people you invite, and never sold or shown to advertisers.
The old iPad in the drawer is enough
Any iPad or Android tablet becomes the kitchen board. Scan a QR from your phone and it signs in. After 6 pm it flips to tomorrow, so the morning is sorted the night before.
Nan’s on Thursday pickup
Everyone logs in as themselves and sees the same week. Kids get a simpler view. Our people logins (Nan, the babysitter, other helpers) come with Family+.

Asked by Australian families.
Is GetKnowen an Australian family calendar app?
Yes. GetKnowen is operated from Australia, priced in Australian dollars, and your family’s board is stored in Sydney.
Does it know Australian school holidays?
Yes. Pick your city and the school holidays and public holidays load onto the board. On Family and Family+ you can also paste your school’s calendar share link so term events show up and stay current.
How much does a family calendar app cost in Australia?
GetKnowen gives you 14 days of Family+, free. After that, Family Lite is A$4.99 a month (two logins), Family is A$9.99 and Family+ is A$14.99 a month. Cancel any time.
Do we need to download an app?
No app store needed. Open getknowen.com on any iPhone, Android phone, iPad or Android tablet and add it to the home screen. It opens full screen like an app.
Can the whole family use it?
Yes. The account holder invites each person and they log in as themselves. Kids get a simpler view. Our people logins (Nan, the babysitter, other helpers) come with Family+.
Does it work with Google or Apple Calendar?
Yes, on Family and Family+. Paste the calendar’s share link (Google, Apple, school or sport club) and it shows on the board in its own colour, kept up to date. It’s a read-only feed, so changes you make in GetKnowen don’t go back to Google or Apple. Family Lite doesn’t include calendar import.
