This is Quilt. Tap any day.
A made-up family, Sam and Jordan, week-on/week-off with two kids. Colours are whose days they are, hand-off days are split, dots are the kids' things, dashed days are a change one parent asked for. Everything on this page is the real app.
On the App Store for iPhone and iPad, with widgets, Siri and push. On the web for any phone. On Alexa for the kitchen. 30 days free, then one price for both parents and all the kids.

Nothing on the calendar. In the app, the box above the grid takes plain English: “swim practice Tuesday 6 to 7 on Ava's calendar”.

Dinner and notes are yours and the kids'. The other parent never sees them.

Labor Day
On the iPhone
Whose house, before you unlock.
Four Home Screen widgets: the family calendar (this week and next in each parent's colour, the next hand-off, what's on), a calendar-only one, an up-next list, and chores for the kids' devices. They refresh on their own. Long-press the Home Screen, tap +, search Quilt.
- Siri“Hey Siri, add an event to Quilt.” Dentist for Ava, Thursday at 3:30. Siri reads it back, you say yes, it's on both calendars.
- PushMessages, change requests and answers reach the phone. A reminder before timed events and before each hand-off.
- Alexa“Alexa, open quilt family” on any Echo, and a widget on the Echo Show. Live in the skill store.
Mom picks up Sun 3 pm
For the kids
She doesn't have to ask.
A parent pairs the kid's tablet or phone once with a six-digit code. No account, nothing to remember, nothing about the grown-ups' arrangements. Ava sees whose house today, the days until the next switch, her week, her chores with stars, and a Messages tab with a dot when something's new. The parents are named the way she says it: Mom's, Dad's.
- Stars are worth real money, and she can see the payout day.
- A chores widget on her own Home Screen, ticks and all.
- A note from a parent lands on her Today page: “Bring your library book.”
Straight from the app
The rest of it.
Week view
Practices, appointments and hand-offs in order, with drive times from your door. Days down, or across.
Changes
Ask for the days you need. The other parent answers in one tap, or offers different days. Every answer is kept.
Messages
Threads with the other parent, next to the requests they are about. Timestamped, pushed to their phone.
Expenses
Snap the receipt, split it, send the batch. Approve line by line and pay in one tap.
The record
Every request, answer, message and receipt, timestamped. One court-ready PDF for an attorney or mediator.
Chores that set themselves up
Four questions, one plan, then a tap to approve each tick
Tell Quilt what you want chores to do, how to motivate the kids, and how much is fair. It writes a plan by age: chores with days and stars, a couple of up-for-grabs jobs, what a star is worth, and payout day. Trim it and tap once. Two homes keep separate lists and can offer each other theirs.
The assistant
Our take: ages six to eight do well with a quarter a star and a weekly payout.

Waiting for your OK
Optional. Stars count once a parent approves. Send it back and the tick clears.
Type a chore by hand and Quilt finishes the name: “exer” → Exercise for 20 minutes, Go for a walk outside, Ride your bike.

Echo Show widget and “Alexa, open quilt family” Live · enable the Quilt skill in the Alexa app
A widget for the Echo Show home screen that refreshes itself, with a card per person: parents see whose house and the week, kids see their chores and tick them off on the Echo. The voice skill answers whose house it is tonight, the next hand-off and what's on Saturday, and adds an event. Enable the Quilt skill in the Alexa app and link your account. Each parent links their own, so the Echo at each house shows that parent's view.

Alexa says it too, then listens: “whose house is it tonight”, “when is the next hand-off”, “what's on Saturday”, “what are the chores for Ava”, “add swim practice Tuesday at six”.
Drawn to match the widget on an Echo Show, with this family's days.
Messages that stay calm
A thread with the other parent, the family, or one kid
Read receipts, everything timestamped into the record. When a draft reads heated, Quilt shows why and offers the same message without the heat. Send either; nothing is blocked.
Can you take Saturday pickup? Ava's recital runs late.
Yes. 3 pm at the field?
Perfect, thank you.

Sam's draft
You ALWAYS do this. Figure out your own ride for once.
This reads heated. Character accusations and all caps land badly.
Same message, cooler
I can't do Saturday pickup this time. Can you arrange a ride?
Shared costs
Expenses without the spreadsheet
The costs you actually split: school, medical, camps, sports. Snap the receipt, the fields fill in, send a report, the other parent approves line by line. Day-to-day things like a winter coat at your house stay off the list; the app never nudges you to bill each other for those.
The clothes: Sam asked Jordan to grab them, so that line is all on Sam. Splits are 50/50 unless you say otherwise. Every line and answer lands in the record.
For your lawyer, if it ever comes to that
The record, as a court-ready PDF
Every request, answer, message, expense step and notification, timestamped by the server the moment it happened. Neither parent can edit or delete an entry. Pick a date range and download.
