Your family’s week is complicated enough. Your calendar shouldn’t be.
One calendar everyone can see: the phone in your pocket, and the old tablet on the kitchen wall.
Everyone has their own colour.
That old tablet in the kitchen drawer is the best screen in the house.
Sign in on it once, then from your phone say “make this the kitchen display”.
The school chat is chaos. Nobody knew about the dentist. The permission slip is… somewhere.
A grid of dates does not tell you what is happening now, what is next, or whose turn it is.
The same day, in your pocket
It is the same calendar in the kitchen and in your pocket. Tap a name to see someone’s day, or tick a job off from wherever you are.
Adding something takes four taps
One question at a time, and only the ones that still apply. Repeats, a few people, a place, a note and a reminder all fit in the same four steps. Have a go.
Everything a family needs
Seven things, and no settings you have to learn.
Everyone, including the pets
Parents, kids, grandparents and the dog. Each one owns a colour, and that colour is how the whole calendar reads.
Add anywhere, see everywhere
A change made on a phone is on the kitchen wall in seconds. Nobody refreshes anything, and it keeps working with no signal.
Make it yours
Your own event types, task types and categories, each with an icon and a colour from the palette. It ends up looking like your family.
Glance, know, move on
Today answers what is on now and what is next in one screen, with countdowns pinned above it for the things everyone keeps asking about.
Birthdays feel like birthdays
A birthday comes from a date of birth, carries the age, and celebrates on the day. Nobody types it in every year.
Look, but do not touch
The kitchen display shows everything and changes nothing. Leaving it, or anything it is not allowed to do, asks for the hub PIN.
Never miss what matters
Reminders by push or email, to whoever needs them, once per occurrence in your family’s timezone. Never twice.
Built by the Swifties. For families like yours.
We are a real family. Two parents, two kids, two ridiculous dogs. And we built the thing we wished existed.
Like most families, we tried everything. Shared Google Calendars (chaos). WhatsApp reminders (lost in the noise). A whiteboard on the fridge (someone always forgets to update it).
So we built one place where everyone can see what is happening, who is involved, and what needs doing, without the “I didn’t know about that” conversations.
Ourly is not built by a big tech company. It is built around our kitchen table, tested on our own hectic lives, and designed for families who just want things to work.
