One calendar for your whole family — the AI does the typing
Zen Calendar puts everyone's schedule in one calm, color-coded place. Snap a photo of the school newsletter or forward an email — the AI assistant turns it into events on the right person's schedule.
Free while in beta · No ads, ever · Works on phone, tablet, and computer
Everything in one place
Built for busy families, designed for calm
Practices, appointments, school events, meal plans, vacations — one family planner where everything is visible to everyone, editable by the right people, impossible to lose.
One shared family calendar
Everyone color-coded on one calendar. Filter by person, or see the whole week at a glance on any device.
AI assistant that does the typing
Photos, PDFs, forwarded emails, or plain text — the assistant extracts the events, spots conflicts, and files them under the right person.
School & sports schedules, auto-synced
Subscribe to any iCal feed — school boards, hockey leagues, work shifts — and it stays current without lifting a finger.
Meals, deadlines & vacations
School lunches, permission-slip deadlines, to-dos, and family vacations live beside your events — not in a separate app.
Share with caregivers
Give grandparents and sitters a view-only calendar. Family roles keep kids and helpers from changing what they shouldn't.
Private by design
No ads. Private events stay private. Export your data anytime, and delete your account — and everything with it — from Settings.
How it works
Set up in minutes, organized for good
Create your family
Sign up free, add family members with their own colors and avatars, and invite your partner by email or code.
Feed it your chaos
Forward the school email. Snap the tournament schedule. Subscribe to the team calendar. The assistant sorts it all out.
Everyone just knows
The whole family sees the same calendar — with reminders, conflict warnings, and a daily agenda that answers "what's on today?"
The assistant
Talk to your calendar like a person
"Dentist for Charlotte next Friday at 3." Done. "When is everyone free this week?" Here you go. "Add everything in this newsletter." Consider it added. The assistant reads photos, PDFs, and emails — so schedules stop living in your head.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Zen Calendar free?
Yes — free while in beta, including the shared calendar and the AI assistant. Optional paid add-ons like file attachments may come later.
How does the AI assistant add events?
Send it a photo of a school newsletter, forward a registration email, or type "hockey practice Tuesdays at 6". It extracts the events, checks for conflicts, and puts them on the right person's schedule.
How is Zen Calendar different from other family organizer apps?
Most shared calendar apps still make you type every event. Zen Calendar's AI assistant does the data entry — snap the school newsletter, forward the registration email, or paste a schedule, and events land on the right person's calendar with conflicts flagged. Meals, deadlines, and vacations live in the same family organizer, so there's nothing extra to juggle.
Can I subscribe to school and sports calendars?
Yes. Zen Calendar subscribes to any iCal feed — school boards, leagues, work schedules — and keeps them up to date automatically. You can also import .ics files.
Can grandparents or a babysitter see our calendar?
Yes — share a view-only calendar with caregivers and grandparents. Family roles (admin, member, viewer) keep the right people in control.
Does it work on phones?
Zen Calendar works in any browser on phones, tablets, and computers, with a mobile experience designed for one-handed use. An Android app is on its way to Google Play.
Who owns our family's data?
You do. No ads, export anytime, and account deletion (with all your data) is one click away in Settings.
Less chaos. Fewer "wait, that's today?!" moments.
Set up your family's shared calendar in about two minutes — one organizer app for the whole household.
