📅 Family Planner & Activities

Overview

The Family Planner is your calendar hub for scheduling and tracking family activities — lessons, sports, appointments, social events, and more. View your family's schedule at a glance with the month calendar, day agenda, and upcoming activities list.

Creating activities

Click + Add Activity to open the activity form. Give it a title, pick a category (lesson, sport, appointment, social, pickup, or other), and set a date. You can assign the activity to a specific family member and add a start/end time.

Activities can be one-off (a single date) or recurring (repeating on a schedule). Toggle between these modes at the top of the form.

Recurring activities

Recurring activities repeat on a schedule you define. Supported frequencies:

• Weekly — Repeats every week. Select specific days (e.g., Monday and Wednesday) for multi-day schedules.
• Daily — Repeats every day.
• Monthly — Repeats on the same day each month.
• Yearly — Repeats on the same date each year.

You can set an optional end date for recurring activities. No new occurrences will be generated after this date.

Editing a single occurrence

When you tap on an occurrence of a recurring activity and click Edit, you'll see three options:

• This Occurrence Only — Changes only this specific date. A one-off copy is created, leaving all other occurrences untouched.
• This & All Future — Splits the schedule at this date. The original ends the day before, and a new schedule starts from this date with your changes.
• All Occurrences — Updates the entire recurring template. Every past and future occurrence reflects the change.

Once a single session has been rescheduled or edited, opening it shows a small note (e.g. “Moved from Wed, 6 Mar”). From there you can Delete that session — which removes just it and leaves the rest of the series alone, and it won’t reappear — or tap Reset to series to put it back to its original recurring time. Delete means gone; reset means back to the series default.

Activity details

Each activity can include additional details:

• Location — Where the activity takes place.
• Transport — Assign family members for dropoff and pickup.
• Instructor / Coach — Name and contact information.
• Notes — Any additional information.
• Fees — Track costs per session, month, or term.

Calendar views

A bar at the top of the planner stays with you as you scroll, so you always know which month, week, or day you’re looking at. It has arrows and a Today button to move around, the Month / Week / Day switch, the family filter, and the + Add button — all in one place.

• Month — A full-month grid. Each day shows colour-coded chips so you can see who’s got what on at a glance. Tap a day to open it in Day view. On phones the month becomes a tidy day-by-day agenda, and quiet days fold down to a thin line so the busy ones stand out. Keep scrolling past the end of a month and the next one carries straight on, with its name marking where it starts — the month shown at the top follows along as you go. Swiping still works too \u2014 swipe either way and you arrive at the start of that month, with its name in view. On a computer, keep scrolling at the edge of the calendar and it turns to the next month, one month per scroll.
• Week — A timeline of the week. On phones a two-week strip across the top lets you hop between days at a glance; it tucks down to a single week as you scroll into the timeline so your events get more room.
• Day — A single day in detail, with a column for each family member so you can see who’s doing what. The Agenda button opens a tidy, time-sorted list for that day.

Inline editing

Tap any activity to open its detail view. From there, you can edit most fields directly — title, time, location, assignee, transport, instructor, and notes — without opening the full edit form. Changes save automatically when you click away.
