School runs, clubs, appointments, work, meals, the never-ending admin. See it all in one visual week instead of three calendars and your memory, and finally tell whether Thursday actually works.

Big Picture Planner is a weekly family planner. It puts every school run, club and appointment in one view.
Two parents, a couple of kids, and suddenly the week is a tangle of school runs, clubs, appointments, work shifts and meals. The information is scattered across phones, the fridge and memory, so no one can see the whole thing, and the mental load lands on whoever's keeping track.
Put the entire week in one visual view and the puzzle gets solvable. You can see the double-booked Thursday, the gap for the food shop, and the evening that's already too full, before it becomes a scramble at the school gate. That's what turns a scattered pile of commitments into a weekly family schedule you can actually run.
Capture every commitment and task, school, clubs, appointments, meals, admin, in the Life Inbox so nothing lives only in your head.
Drag it onto the days it happens. Pickups, lessons and the food shop all sit together, so the busy evenings are obvious.
Spot a clash, move a task, free up a lift. The week stops being a guess and becomes a plan you can actually run.
Google or Apple Calendar will happily hold the dentist at 10:30. But the food shop, the permission slip, the gift you keep forgetting? Those aren't appointments: they're the loose, shifting work of family life, and a calendar has nowhere to put them.
Perfect for fixed events everyone needs to see. Keep it. It does that job well.
Captures the tasks, but never tells you whether there's actually time to do them this week.
Holds both, the fixed and the floating, in one visual week, so you can see what genuinely fits around school and work.
A family weekly planner is a single place to see everything the household has on in a given week: school runs, clubs and activities, appointments, work, meals, and the admin that keeps a family running. Seeing it all together makes it easier to spot clashes, arrange lifts, and decide what's realistic before the week starts.
Start by getting everything out of everyone's heads into one place: the fixed events (school, work, clubs) and the loose tasks (appointments to book, forms to return, shopping). Then lay them across a visual week so you can see the busy evenings, the gaps for errands, and where two things collide. Big Picture Planner is built to capture all of it and place it into one week view.
The best family planner shows the whole week at a glance and holds more than appointments: it needs room for tasks, errands and meals too, because that's what fills a real family week. Big Picture Planner combines a Life Inbox for capturing everything with a visual weekly calendar, so the household's commitments and to-dos live in one picture.
Yes. You can share your planner with family members by email. Each person signs in with their own account and sees the same week, as an editor or as a reader.
List every fixed commitment for the week: school, work, clubs and appointments, then add the loose tasks like the food shop, forms and lifts. Lay them all across a visual week so each item sits on the day and time it happens. Seeing the full week together turns a scattered pile of commitments into a weekly family schedule, and makes the clashes and the free evenings obvious before the week begins.
