Co-parenting and separated parents
Questions about how Famsy can be used by parents living at different addresses who share responsibility for their children's day-to-day lives.
How do we avoid schedule clashes when co-parenting?
Famsy sends a weekly summary every Sunday with clash alerts, helping parents spot double bookings well in advance – for example, if you have both planned activities on the same day.
Can both parents add activities for the children?
Yes, adult members of the family account can add activities. Child accounts, on the other hand, cannot edit the calendar, keeping parents in full control of the planning.
Do we need a shared account even though we are separated?
Famsy is built around a single family account for up to 10 members, where separated parents can join together with the children to share the same calendar and information.
Who pays for the subscription when co-parenting?
Only the administrator of the family account manages the subscription, so parents can agree between themselves who will handle the payment.
Can one parent be the administrator and the other a regular member?
Yes, the roles of administrator, adult and child can be assigned freely within the account. One parent can act as the administrator responsible for the subscription, while the other is an adult member.
Do both parents see the same information about the children's activities?
Yes, all adult members of the family account see the exact same calendar and summaries, giving both parents the same overview of the children's schedules.
Can school emails be sent to both parents automatically?
Emails from schools or clubs can be forwarded or pasted into Famsy and parsed automatically, making the information visible to all adults in the family account rather than reaching just one parent.
Does Famsy help keep track of lifts between parents?
Yes, the household section in Famsy includes a lift feature, which can be used to track who is picking up or dropping off the children during handovers.
Can we add new adults, such as a new partner, to the account?
Yes, as long as there is space within the 10-member limit, more adults can be invited via a link – for example, a new partner who is involved in the children's daily routine.
Can the children see their own schedule in the app?
Child accounts can join the family account and view the calendar, but they cannot edit it. This lets children keep track of their schedule without accidentally moving activities.
Can we use Famsy if we only want to share certain activities, not everything?
Famsy is designed to bring together the family's shared calendar and household. All adult members see the same information, so it isn't set up for hiding individual activities between members.
Is it difficult to get started together after a separation?
Getting started is simple: one administrator creates the account and invites the other parent and children via a link. From there, activities can be added using text, voice notes, photos or emails.
