You feed it by hand
Every practice and lunch menu, typed in or forwarded one email at a time. When the coach moves practice, you do it again.
Parendipity Wall
The week, on the wall, without typing any of it in.
Pair any tablet, or any TV with a web browser, and the schedule shows itself: every kid, every ride, every school lunch, and whatever still needs a grown-up.
The Wall runs on the Parendipity app, which works today. Start your free 30-day trial and your week will be filled in when the Wall is ready.

Getting the week on the wall has three problems.
A $300 screen plus a subscription
New hardware for the kitchen, and a yearly fee on top for the parts that save you time.
It shows who it's for, not who's on it
Practice is on the screen in Wren's color. Who's driving her there is still a group text.
The Wall is only as good as what feeds it. Ours is fed by Parendipity.
Parendipity is the family logistics app behind the Wall. It pulls the schedule out of school and team emails, sorts out who's driving, checks the lunch menu against what each kid will eat, finds a sitter when you're both booked, and keeps both parents on the same week. The Wall puts all of it where everyone can see it.
In the app, for parents
Where the week gets decided
- Schedules pulled from school and team emails, and updated when the coach moves practice
- Every ride assigned to a parent or a carpool family
- Sitter coverage when you're both booked, from asking your caregivers to confirming who has the kids
- School lunch menus checked against what each kid will eat
On the Wall, for everyone
Where the week gets seen
- The week by kid, already filled in
- A name on every ride
- What's for lunch, and who'll eat it
- Who has the kids tonight, so the sitter knows too
- Whatever still needs a grown-up, until someone takes it
Start your free 30-day trialThe app works today. Start now and the Wall pairs to a week that's already filled in.
How it works
- 1
Open parendipity.ai/wall on any screen
Any tablet, or any TV with a web browser. Nothing to install.
- 2
Enter the code from your app
Six characters, once. The screen never signs in to anything.
- 3
Leave it on the wall
The week updates itself from the inbox Parendipity already monitors. Nobody types anything.
Enter the code from your appSettings, then Parendipity Wall, then Pair a screenK4M2
parendipity.ai/wallSmart calendars show what's happening. Parendipity Wall shows who's on it.
The week by kid
One row per child, so Wren can find her own week without reading Theo's. A digital family calendar the kids can actually use.

What's for lunch
The school menu for each day, and whether each kid will eat it, so the lunchbox question is answered before anyone asks.

Already have Google Calendar on a tablet?
Keep using it. Parendipity already syncs to Google Calendar, so your events show up on most calendar screens today. The Wall adds the parts a calendar does not carry: who's driving, what's for lunch, and what's still unowned.
| A tablet with Google Calendar | Parendipity Wall | |
|---|---|---|
| Signs in to | A parent's Google account, on a screen sitters and guests can reach | Nothing. You pair it once with a code from the app. |
| Laid out by | Whose calendar each event is on | Each kid, one row |
| Rides | The event, with no driver | A name on every ride |
| Lunch | Not shown | Today's school lunch, and whether each kid will eat it |
| Open items | Not shown | What still needs a grown-up, until someone takes it |
| Where events come from | Whatever you, or an assistant app, add | School and team emails, kept current when plans change |
Parendipity Wall is coming soon. Get on the list.
Join the waitlist and you'll be among the first families to pair a screen. No spam, just one note when it's ready.
Questions parents ask
No. You pair it from the app. The screen never signs in to anything.
Not at first. It starts as a screen everyone can read. A one-tap "done" for kids is planned.
Unpair it from Settings in the app and the screen goes blank.
No. The app is where you decide things. The Wall is where everyone sees them.
No. It's included with every Parendipity plan.
Not yet. Pick Apple TV on the form if that's your screen, so we know.
Soon. Waitlist families get it first.
