No one has touched the kitchen calendar in months.

The choir meets on Tuesdays, 10:00 to 11:30, until 31 December. In EpiHem you set it up as a recurring event in the family calendar: once, and then it is there week after week.

  • Choir Tuesdays 10:00
  • Lily football practice Tuesdays 17:00
  • Five-a-side football Wednesdays 20:00
  • Pilates Thursdays 19:00

Four series in one household. Free in EpiHem, on phone and web.

The month view in EpiHem. Tap for the full view.

Practices, school, work, the holiday, the birthdays. Usually one of you keeps track of it all. In EpiHem everyone can.

Below are the four parts: the views, what comes back, the reminders and the overview.

Football practice on Tuesdays, the swimming lessons, the school pickups, the work trip, the autumn break, Theo's birthday. Any one of them is easy to remember. All of them, for everyone in the household, is not. So it lands on you or your partner to carry the whole list around and remind the rest of the household.

We built the calendar as a shared thing. What concerns the household belongs in the household's calendar, not in the head of one of you.

So an event can carry a tag, sit with the person who has to be there, and speak up with a notification before it happens. And a lot of what fills a week comes back: the same practice, the same time, all term. That is why we spent the most time on recurring events: one event, one rule, one end date.

The household's whole week in one view.

This is week 40. Every day is a column of its own: the school pickup on Monday, the client presentation on Tuesday, Lily's piano lesson on Wednesday. Under the events lie the meals you planned, and the week's receipt on its own day: Aldi on Monday.

Everyone in the household sees the same week. Anyone who wants to look further ahead switches to the month, and anyone who only wants to know what is next takes the agenda. One calendar, three views, and nobody has to tell the others what is in it.

The week view. Every day is a column of its own, with events, meals and receipts in it.
The week

Seven day cards side by side. This is the view you plan in: who does what, and what is already standing there.

The month

The whole month as a grid, with every event written out in its colour. Tap a day and its rows stand underneath.

The agenda

A list running forward, day by day. It answers what happens next.

Once, with the rule in plain words.

Choir is on Tuesdays all term. It goes in once. Tap it and the rule stands there in words: Repeats every week on Tuesday, until 2027-12-31. No checkboxes to interpret, no settings page to hunt through.

In the same place sit the tag Leisure and the name of whoever has to be there: Kate. If the time moves, the app asks what you mean before anything changes: only this one, this one and every future one, or the whole series. The weeks already gone and the ones ahead are left alone unless you meant them.

How the household works
The event and its rule: Repeats every week on Tuesday, until 2027-12-31.
Three answers to a question the app asks before it deletes anything.

School and club calendars come in on their own.

Paste the link to the school's, the club's or work's calendar, and its events show up in your calendar in a colour of their own and stay up to date.

Import an .ics file from Google, Apple or Outlook once, and the events become yours to change.

It says so before it is time.

Put a reminder on an event and a notification reaches the phone before it starts. The dentist on Friday at 08:30 can remind you an hour ahead, Theo's party on Saturday two hours ahead.

The agenda lists the events and meals of each day one under the other. Whatever repeats carries its own repeat mark, so you see at once what is a one-off and what runs every week.

The agenda from Tuesday 29 September, with the events of the day one under the other.

Open the app and the day is there.

The overview is the first thing you see. The date, the next event and how long there is until it. Beside it stand the lunch and the dinner you planned.

Under that lies the week as a strip, with the events of the week and what is waiting on you. You do not have to open the calendar to know what the week looks like.

See how the weeks filled up.

In statistics, Calendar adds up the month's events, week by week and by tag. You can see whether it is the kids' activities or leisure that takes up the most room, and which weeks were fuller than others.

The calendar is free. Statistics is included in Premium and builds on the same events, so there is nothing extra to enter.

Read about statistics
September in statistics: 47 events, week by week.

Also.

The kind of thing that keeps the calendar right without anyone keeping it up to date.

All-day entries

Lily's school trip sits as a full day, with no time on it, at the top of Tuesday.

Assigned to the right person

An event can stand on one person in the household or several. Each event shows who has to be there.

Add it on the day

Every day card carries its own add row. You write the event in where the day stands.

Colour by person or by tag

Colour the calendar by who the event is for, or by tag: Kids, Leisure, Household. Filter on a tag and you see one thing at a time instead of everything.

Receipts on their own day

A receipt from Monday sits on Monday. The Aldi receipt stands on its own day, where the purchase actually happened.

Common questions

Can we change a single occurrence without touching the rest?

Yes. When you change a recurring event the app asks what you mean: only this one, this one and every future one, or the whole series. Choose only this one and the rest of the series is untouched.

Can I see the EpiHem calendar in Google or Apple Calendar?

Yes. You can export the calendar to Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar and have everything in one view.

Do new events show up for everyone straight away?

Yes. What you add shows up for the whole household within the second, without anyone having to pass it on.

Can you put an end date on a series?

Yes. The choir repeats until 31 December, and then the series ends by itself. Nobody has to remember to clear it away.

Does it work as a family calendar?

Yes. For a family it becomes a shared family calendar with reminders, assigned events and export to your usual calendar. The same calendar works just as well for couples and shared homes, and it is included free.
