Maple shuts down December 31, 2026
Moving off Maple? Bring your family schedule somewhere that runs it.
Parendipity turns school, coach and league emails into one shared schedule for both parents, then handles the logistics: who's driving, which families are carpooling, and who's covering when you can't.

What's changing
What happens to Maple, in plain terms.
Here's how to switch in about 10 minutes, without retyping your calendar.
Switch in three steps.
Keep your calendar where it is.
If Maple was syncing to Google Calendar, those events are already there. If not, export from Maple and import the file into Google Calendar.
Connect Gmail to Parendipity.
It monitors your inbox for schedule emails from schools, coaches, leagues and team apps, so new events and changes show up on their own. No forwarding address to remember.
Add your co-parent.
Both of you see the same schedule and every pickup has a name on it.
What you used Maple for, and where it goes now.
| What you used Maple for | With Parendipity |
|---|---|
| Shared family calendar | One shared schedule on Google Calendar, for both parents and any display that follows it, like a Skylight |
| Forwarding emails so AI could add events | Nothing to forward. Parendipity monitors your Gmail and picks up school, coach and league emails on its own |
| Team app schedules | Picks up the schedule emails and changes your team apps send |
| To-dos | Action items like permission slips, payments and RSVPs, surfaced before they're due |
| Meal planning | School lunch planning, built from the menus and lunch emails your school sends |
| Recipes, grocery lists and chores | Not something we do. Keep a list app you like for these. Parendipity focuses on the schedule and the logistics. |
What Maple users get that's new.
Maple helped you see the schedule. Parendipity runs the logistics behind it.
Every ride assigned.
Each pickup and dropoff has a parent's name on it. No more "I thought YOU had pickup."
Carpools with other families.
Set up and run carpools, even with families who don't use the app.
Sitter coverage.
When neither parent can make it, the gap gets flagged so it's covered, not discovered at 3pm.
Your week on Sunday.
The Sunday Planner lays out every kid's week so you start Monday on the same page.
Every time I asked my wife how I could help with the kids, I created more work for her than if she'd just done it herself. I was missing the context she carried in her head. So I built Parendipity, so both of us see the whole picture and every ride has an owner.

Not if it's on Google Calendar. Parendipity works on top of Google Calendar, so existing events stay where they are.
No. Parendipity connects to Gmail and picks up school, coach and league emails automatically. You can still forward anything it misses.
School lunch planning, yes. Recipes and grocery lists aren't part of Parendipity, so keep a list app you like for those.
Yes. Both parents share one view, and every pickup and dropoff is assigned.
The app is iPhone only today. Because everything lives on Google Calendar, an Android co-parent still sees the full schedule.
