One app instead of five. For your whole family life.

One family calendar as a month, week or agenda – with “My calendars” you show and hide whatever you need right now. You choose which view it opens with, and public holidays for Germany, Austria and Switzerland are already in. For the kitchen wall you print the month, the agenda or both, in black and white if you like.

Events are stuck across three calendars, and nobody has the full picture.

Every event is private, shared with specific people, or visible to the whole household – you decide, entry by entry.

Some things are just for you, others concern the whole household.

patchio takes care of complex repeats and multiple reminders for you – as a notification in the app, on your phone or on your Mac and PC, and by email too if you like. If the time changes after the holidays, the change applies to “this and all following events” – everything before stays as it was. And with "Your day", you can get a short overview every morning with the weather from the German Weather Service, your events and today's birthdays.

Weekly, monthly, every other Friday – and in the end someone forgets anyway.

patchio brings in your events from Outlook, Google or Apple by itself every 30 minutes – just for you or for everyone. The other way round, you add the family calendar, including tasks that are due, to the calendar you already use.

Your work calendar lives in Outlook, training in the club calendar – nobody wants to enter it all twice.

A packing list for swimming, camping or the handover: create it once as a template, attach it to the event, tick it off – the other household ticks along too if the event is shared. Photos and PDFs go right on the event, and if the location is an address, one tap opens the route in your maps app.

The same packing list in your head before every trip to the pool – and the note from the doctor is somewhere in the photo gallery.

On your phone, just type what you need at the bottom – patchio automatically sorts it into the right category and gives each item an icon so you find things faster in the shop. The shared list is always with you, works offline too, and sends the others an “I'm off to the shops” notification.

The shopping list is at home, and you're standing in the shop.

Fill in the week in the meal plan, and send the missing ingredients to the shopping list with one tap.

“What are we eating this week?” starts over every single day.

The pantry tracks what should be in the house: full, running low or out – one tap is enough. If you like, count exact stock, or give an item a restock rhythm like a subscribe-and-save order; on the due date it lands on the shopping list by itself, and ticking it off in the shop refills the pantry again. If an item carries a best-before date, patchio tells the household three days ahead – once, bundled, and switchable off.

Out of loo roll, forgot the milk – and you only notice once you're home.

Collect recipes in cookbooks – by URL straight from the web, or as a photo: snap a cookbook page and upload it instead of hunting for a URL. patchio resizes the image automatically, and it stays private within your household. When you cook, cooking mode takes you through the recipe step by step, with the ingredients for your servings and several timers at once.

Favourite recipes are scattered across bookmarks and scraps of paper.

If an admin has turned on the optional “AI categorisation, recipe photos & school letters” switch, patchio reads a whole recipe from pasted text, a photo or a PDF at the tap of a button – ingredients with amounts and the method – and the ingredients from a recipe photo. Everything arrives as a suggestion to check and edit, nothing is added automatically.

Retype the whole ingredients list from a photo, by hand?

Lists with categories, repeats and rotation share out recurring to-dos fairly – automatically, in turn.

Tasks pile up because nobody feels responsible.

With “first come, first served” anyone can grab a task, and if needed, getting it done has to be confirmed.

Two people grab the same task, and another falls through the cracks.

“Logged by / when” shows clearly who entered or ticked off what, and when.

“Did you actually take the bins out?”

“Reminder in advance” gets in touch before the deadline, say three days before, and every morning until the task is done if you like.

The deadline is set – and you only remember it on the day itself.

Anyone who can't do it hands the task back with one click, with a comment if they like – you hear about it straight away and reassign it.

Assigning is quick – but what if someone really can't?

Split expenses evenly, by percentage, by share or exactly – patchio totals up balances and simplifies debts into as few payments as possible.

By the end of the month, nobody remembers who paid for what.

The contracts tool bundles subscriptions and contracts with documents and cost shares, and the cancellation radar reminds you of notice periods in time, before anything renews. Insurance policies have their own family folder: sorted by type, with a contact person you can tap to call, your notes for making a claim, and linked to the papers in the document vault, such as a child's health insurance card.

Subscriptions keep running even though nobody needs them – and when something happens, you first have to hunt for the policy.

The multi-account model keeps your accounts and categories apart, and with an opening balance every account card shows the current balance with a trend line for the last twelve months. For the current month, the balance in Insights already looks ahead to the end of the month, with the fixed costs from your contracts included. The standing order helper, recurring expenses and settling shared fixed costs keep everything tidy.

Several accounts, shared and private expenses – it's easy to lose the thread.

Insights show every category with its share, the comparison with last month and the trend over twelve months – switchable between “just me” and “together”. The money flow runs from your income, such as salary or child benefit, through fixed costs to what's left over, and from your own salary you can share just a portion with the family. Annual bills can count in the month they're due, budgets with a traffic light warn you before a pot tips over, and savings goals fill up automatically towards a car, a holiday or a renovation.

Are you actually spending more on groceries lately – or is it just in your head?

Attach a receipt photo or import your bank statement: patchio reads CSV, CAMT XML and Excel files, recognises Sparkasse, N26 and Revolut by itself and shows you every transaction for review before anything is added. The file is only read in your browser and never leaves your device – patchio needs no bank connection. The optional AI categorisation sorts entries for you, using as little data as possible, if you turn it on.

Receipts go missing, and copying them out is a chore.

Set up a parenting schedule per person – from ready-made patterns or your own, starting on a set date and with an end date if you like – and everyone sees the same thing.

“Are the children with you or me this week?”

You add exceptions in plain text, without rebuilding the whole pattern.

Holidays, birthdays, a spontaneous swap – the schedule is never quite right.

The dashboard shows “who's home”, and presence avatars appear right in the calendar and the meal plan.

Who's actually home today, when I'm planning or cooking?

If on any day there's nobody at home to look after a small child, grandma or the dog, patchio warns you before anyone notices: the “Coverage” card on the dashboard shows the gap until someone is entered.

You're both away – so who's actually looking after the dog?
