The Calendar Makes Your Life easier 

Here you get a unique view where you can see the entire month, and with a simple swipe upwards, you can see today's activities and important reminders! Each person has their own color (assigned by the app for now). The default setting allows everyone to see everything, but you can, of course, add activities just for yourself that no one else can see.

This is the Calendar 

Nowhere else in the world....Here you get a unique view where you can see the entire month, and with a simple swipe upwards, you can see today's activities and important reminders! Each person has their own color (assigned by the app for now). The default setting allows everyone to see everything, but you can, of course, add activities just for yourself that no one else can see.

The Child's Living Schedule is the Foundation 

We designed the app with children's schedules and needs in mind. To fully utilize the app's functionality, you need to create a living schedule for your child. If you don't have a schedule, you'll see "Create Schedule" in the upper left corner.

This schedule then serves as the base schedule in the app. To make changes to an existing schedule, click on the pencil in the upper left corner. You can have multiple schedules if you have more than one child with different living arrangements.

The app supports all types of schedules, recognizing that some children live alternately between parents, while others live with one parent and visit the other on evenings or weekends.

Adding Activities

The Easiest Way with AI

If you receive a party invitation or information from school, take a picture of the details and click on the AI, which will analyze the image. The AI will create a new activity based on the invitation or school information, which you can review and approve by clicking save. Voila! All the info is now in the app.

The AI can also create multiple activities, such as one for the party and another for RSVPing to the party. It all depends on the information shared with the AI. So convenient!

Manually 

If you don't have an image and are entering the details from memory, or if you click on the "plus" under the AI option, you can easily enter the information yourself, including time, location, reminders, and so on. It takes a bit longer, but it's the way we've always done it.

Recurring Activities, Visibility and More... 

For each activity, you can choose 'recurring' and set the 'start and end dates.'

You can also set reminders as needed, either for yourself or for the children.

Regarding the visibility of each activity: the default is that the activity is shared with everyone. However, you can create activities that only you can see: New Activity > More Options > Visible to. Here, you can deselect those who should not see the activity. Their avatar will turn gray, indicating that only the colorful avatars can see the activity.

If you’ve created an activity for your child, the child’s avatar will appear on the activity itself and to the right until the child has viewed it. Once the child has seen it, the avatar on the right disappears.

"The turning point came when we found the Every Other Week app. There's less fuss and both of us have a better handle on things. It feels so great!”

"Thank you so much for this app, it has finally gotten us to communicate!”
