One calendar for school, chores, meals and everything else

Yezbi is a shared family calendar with a color for each person, grown-ups included. Your other calendars show alongside, and chores, meals, shopping lists and reminders sit on the same week as the lessons.

A made-up family in the real app. No account needed, and nothing is sent anywhere.

The calendar

School and everything else on one calendar, so nobody has to check two.

Every view you need

Day, 3 days, week and month, by time or by person. Events can run over several days, carry a place, and repeat daily, weekly, every school day, monthly or your own way.

Your other calendars, alongside

Paste a private link from Google, Apple or Outlook and its events show alongside Yezbi's, read-only. Send Yezbi's calendar the other way with a private link, for everyone or one child.

Reminders and summaries

Alerts on grown-ups' phones and computers, even when Yezbi is closed, with quiet hours. Turn on a morning summary of today's plan, the week ahead, and a recap of each child's week.

Coming, not yet available: two-way Google Calendar sync. It's built, and turns on once Google finishes reviewing Yezbi.

Chores and rewards

A chores board for each child, by time of day, that children can check off on the family display.

  • Taking turns, up-for-grabs jobs, and approvals when a parent wants to check.
  • Stars stay off until you turn them on for a child, and parents set the rewards. Children ask for a reward, and you say yes or not now.
  • Grown-ups can have chores too, in their own column, without stars.

Meals, recipes and shopping lists

Plan the week's breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks next to everything else that's happening.

  • Keep your recipes, scaled to your family.
  • Recipe ideas from Yezbi Kitchen: search them, add one to a meal or save it to your recipes. They're marked New recipe, and you can tell us how one turned out.
  • Dinners from your favorites: once you have a week's worth of favorite dinners, fill the week's empty dinners in one go, none twice, then swap or skip any day.
  • Foods your family avoids are flagged in recipes and meals.
  • Build a shopping list from the meal plan, sorted by store section. Organize merges doubles, and lists print.

Reading time

Set reading time on the days you choose, keep a reading list, and give each child who reads a book their own credit.

Weather on the plan

Today and the days ahead, with highs, lows, wind and the rain expected, from the US National Weather Service.

Friends, privately

Make private circles with families you know, share an event with them and invite friends who aren't on Yezbi yet. There's no public feed and no strangers.

How it works

  1. Add your family

    Each person gets a color, grown-ups included. Invite a co-parent or grandparent by email.

  2. Bring in your other calendars

    Paste a calendar's private link and its events show alongside the family's week.

  3. Plan the week together

    Lessons, chores, meals and outings on one calendar, on your phone, computer and the family display.

Questions about the family calendar

Does it show my other calendars?

Yes, your other calendars show alongside Yezbi's, and you can share a private link to Yezbi's calendar. Two-way sync with Google Calendar is built and turns on once Google finishes reviewing Yezbi.

Do my children have to earn stars?

No. Stars stay off until you turn them on for a child, and parents set the rewards.

Is it only for homeschool families?

It's built for homeschool families. The calendar, chores, meals and lists work for any family, but the curriculum planning, Discover and records are where Yezbi is different.

Do I need to buy a screen?

No. Yezbi works in the web browser on the phones, tablets and computers you already have, and any tablet can be the family display on your wall or counter.
