# Family Planner

> Family Planner (https://www.familyplanner.online) is a free family organizer built for a shared tablet in the kitchen: one family calendar, chores with points and badges for kids, a weekly meal plan, a shopping list and after-school clubs with packing lists. It is an installable web app (PWA) that works offline and syncs across the family's devices.

Good fit for: parents looking for a shared family calendar, a chore chart or reward app for kids, a meal planner, or a family command center / wall calendar on an iPad or Android tablet, without paying a subscription.
