A family calendar for iPhone that focuses on events
If what your family mainly wants to know is what’s happening today, when an event takes place and who it concerns, you don’t necessarily need task lists, chats or an elaborate organisation system.
TidTil is a family calendar app and family planner for iPhone that deliberately focuses on events. You can assign events to family members, sync shared events with each other, and keep personal events private.
A shared family calendar on iPhone
With TidTil you can invite family members and sync family events using Apple’s iCloud and CloudKit infrastructure. One family subscription covers your family. Children without their own iPhone can also be added as family members, so events can be clearly assigned to them.
Personal events can be created and managed on your own device for free. Family syncing is optional.
Private and shared events in one app
Not every event belongs in the shared family calendar. That’s why, when creating an event, you can decide whether it stays private or is visible to the family.
That keeps the shared calendar clear, while personal events stay personal.
A daily overview instead of calendar clutter
TidTil puts the focus on today. If you like, a compact daily overview can appear as a notification each morning. You can also set an individual reminder for each event.
The reduced month view helps you keep upcoming events in sight, without losing the focus on everyday family life.
A family planner without task lists, chats or feature clutter
Many family apps combine calendars, tasks, shopping lists, chats, documents and other organisation features. That can make sense if a family is specifically looking for that all-in-one solution.
TidTil deliberately takes a different approach: organise events, get an overview of the day, then put the phone away again. The app isn’t meant to replace a classic all-purpose calendar – it’s meant to give families a simpler, shared overview of events.
TidTil compared
TidTil isn’t meant to replace a full calendar app – it’s deliberately leaner. This overview shows how TidTil differs from Apple Calendar, Google Calendar and FamCal.
| TidTil | Apple Calendar | Google Calendar | FamCal | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price (family) | €1.99/month or €19.99/year | Free | Free | €3.99/month or €22.99/year3 |
| Private/shared per event | Yes, for every event | No – the shared Family calendar is a separate calendar; there's no per-event visibility setting1,2 | Yes, with a caveat – members with edit permissions can still see events marked private4 | Not documented in official sources5,6 |
| Family members without their own account | Yes, by name only | No – every member needs an Apple ID, including children (as a Child Account)7 | No – every member needs their own Google Account8 | Not documented in official sources5,6 |
| Task lists, notes & extras | Deliberately not included | Not part of the Calendar app (separate Reminders app) | Not part of the Calendar app (separate Tasks app) | Yes – tasks, notes, recipes, trip expenses and more6 |
All figures are based on official sources (Apple and Google support pages, and official App Store / manufacturer sites), as of 31 Aug 2026. FamCal's price is from the German App Store (as of 31 Aug 2026) and may vary by country or App Store account. Where a cell shows "not documented in official sources," that doesn't mean the feature doesn't exist – only that we couldn't find an official, verifiable source for it.
