The questions every family asks, in one place everyone can see.
Answer a few quick questions when you start, and StayMethodic shows only what your family needs. Switch sections on or off at any time.
What is on, what needs doing, what is for dinner and what is left to spend.
Events, activities, birthdays, bills, paydays and shifts appear on their own.
Paste the school or club calendar link once. Their dates show up next to yours.
Kids earn points for chores and swap them for rewards you choose.
Plan the week's dinners. One tap adds the ingredients to your list.
Bills you check off, what is left this month, and savings goals.
A nudge before appointments, medicine times and a short summary each morning.
Add it to Apple, Google or Outlook calendar with one tap.
Passports, licenses, car registration and insurance, with reminders.
Morning and bedtime checklists, packing lists you can reuse.
Contacts, allergies and bedtimes on one page you can print or share.
Keep going offline. Everything saves when you are back online.
Switch on what fits your household. Everyone else never sees it.
For nurses, police, hospitality and FIFO workers. Pick a pattern like 4 on, 4 off, and every shift goes on the family calendar. Swap a single day in one tap.
Week on, week off, 2-2-3 and other schedules. See where the children are tonight and when the next handover is. Both homes can see the same plan.
Tap when you give a dose. Everyone sees the time and who gave it, so nobody doubles up at 2am. Works for an older parent you care for too.
Big, clear and always on. Kids check off their jobs, everyone sees today and what is coming up. No special screen to buy and no yearly fee.
Keep the whole family's sport in one place, from Saturday soccer to your own golf round.
Invite your partner with their email. Everyone sees the same plan, and each person has their own color.
