Best family organization apps/tools? Thinking easy to use collaboration for (1)calendar would be good to sync with Google and outlook calendar (2) meal planning (3) routine chores (4) projects and to dos/tasks.

Have been using Google calendars and Google keep, but would like a self contained environment.

Any thoughts?

1. Working on this one. I've had calendars for years that no one respects. A family is not a business, and I see the same thing in businesses. Find your champions because this is the core.
2. Mealie.
3. Checklists in Keep, but there's probably another self-hosted option. I've heard some Chief Nerd of the family conversations while networking vouch for Trello.
4. Microsoft Project, if you're looking for something formal.

I know a lot of people like the skylight calendar. I don’t personally have one but another friend really likes it (and is an influencer who sells it). She’s gifted at least a couple of her free ones to friends and family. Also says she gets a lot of positive reviews on it.

i have skylight, and i do like it. BUT it requires your family members to buy in, and my husband never remembers to write anything down, even though skylight makes it very easy to put a work meeting on the calendar because you invite the calendar as if it were a person, by its email address. and my daughter loved the task management feature where she could tick off her chores/routines for the day, but after a few weeks she forgot about it. so just be vigilant that everyone needs to keep it updated.

All of the ADHD. I probably am too, but have just learned to tame it by, you guessed it, over-organizing my productivity.

We use Google calendar

If you’re going to that level, put it in some project planner tool like Asana, Trello, etc.

Currently looking at a couple options.

1) Google calendar, also using the family shared calendar option. Maybe with todoist for chores and projects. Then keep for groceries,meal planning, other notes.

-i worry that my tech avoidant gf may not want to use three different apps.

2) Teams (don't laugh), set up a team for home with a main channel linked to important docs on SharePoint/one drive. Then can add apps for Planner, Lists etc.

3) Jam family seems cool and 95% of what we'd need but lacks some of the sub task and delegation I'd like to see for the to do lists.

I would never use 3 different apps or Teams to be micromanaged by my boyfriend
