the blunt take
“A shared family calendar with tasks and subscriptions tracking — it's Cozi with better vibes and a Swedish design sensibility. The idea is a weekend; the cross-platform mobile experience that families actually keep using is a month.”
The hard part isn't the data model — it's real-time sync across iOS, Android, and web so that when mum adds football practice, dad's phone doesn't still show "free evening." That's the whole product, and it's not trivial.

or, you know, use one of these.
if building feels spicy
option A
Cozi (free tier)
The incumbent. Free, works, already on every parent's phone. Hard to beat on distribution.
option B
FamilyWall (self-use)
Reviewers are literally migrating FROM this — which means the gap is real but closeable.
option C
Notion + shared database
Zero-cost, infinitely flexible, and your family will hate you for suggesting it.

hard
nightmare
01
easy
Family group data model
Users → families → events/tasks. Standard relational schema. Nothing exotic.
02
easy
Shared task & chore lists
CRUD with assignee + completion state. A few hours of forms.
03
medium
Subscription tracker feature
Manual entry or bank-scraping? Manual is a weekend. Scraping is a whole other product.
04
medium
Push notifications across iOS & Android
Expo handles the heavy lifting but APNS/FCM token management is fiddly.
05
hard
Real-time sync across devices
Supabase Realtime gets you 80% there. The other 20% is conflict resolution when offline edits collide.
06
nightmare
Cross-platform mobile feel that families actually keep using
React Native / Expo can ship it, but the polish gap between 'works' and 'my mum uses this daily' is enormous.
