What a family organiser app should actually do

Most families are organised across four or five places: a calendar app, a notes app, a group chat, a whiteboard on the fridge and a drawer full of paperwork. Each one works on its own. The trouble is that nobody can see all of it, and usually one parent ends up carrying the whole picture in their head.

A family organiser should replace that pile with one shared place everyone can open. rumaloom is built as a house with a room for each job, and every room is shared with your whole family group.

  • Calendar: a shared family calendar that syncs with the Google or Apple calendar you already use
  • Kitchen: a weekly meal planner for breakfast, lunch and dinner, a shared cookbook and a grocery list
  • Lists: shared checklists everyone edits together in real time
  • Chores: rotation, photo proof, parent approval and optional points or pocket-money rewards
  • The Vault: insurance, IDs, warranties and emergency contacts behind an optional Face ID or fingerprint lock
  • The Attic: photograph what you have packed away and note where it is stored
  • Medication and Supplements: doses, stock levels and a daily checklist
  • The Wall and Family Chat: a private feed and chat for just your household

It works with the calendar you already have

You do not have to move your family off Google Calendar or Apple Calendar. rumaloom syncs alongside them, so there is nothing to migrate and nothing to type in twice.

When an event arrives as an email or a text from another parent, paste it in and the date, time and details are filled in for you.

Free to start, priced per family

The free plan includes the Calendar, Family Chat, The Wall, Lists, Chores and the Kitchen for up to five family members, supported by ads. Paid plans remove the ads and add The Vault, Medication and Supplements, with room for a bigger household.

One subscription covers everyone in the house. You pay per family, not per person, and the price is shown in your local currency in the app store.

Private by default

Everything you put in rumaloom, from calendar events to vault documents, is visible only to the people in your own family group. Nothing is public.
