One shared family home

Less coordination. More clarity.

Not one more isolated list app: Dumango Family connects the things a household actually needs together — clearly, privately, on infrastructure you control.

Shared calendar

Appointments, birthdays, reminders, school timetables and family plans in one view.

Lists & tasks

Share shopping, errands and chores with due dates and real-time updates.

Meal planning

Plan meals, keep recipes and prepare the weekly shop together.

Private conversations

Family chat, reactions and shared moments in your shared family space.

Photos & documents

Shared albums and important documents in one place rather than scattered services.

Voluntary check-ins

“I’m here” check-ins at family places, without permanent location tracking.

For the small hand-offs in between

A family organizer app that answers practical everyday questions.

Who needs to be where and when? What still needs doing? What is missing from the shop? As a self-hosted family calendar app, Dumango Family brings these hand-offs into one place instead of scattering them across chats, paper notes and separate apps. The shared calendar app sits alongside household tasks, lists and meal planning.

A family calendar app for shared appointments

Add school events, appointments, birthdays or meet-ups to one family view. Everyone can see the week ahead without forwarding each event individually.

A family organizer app for household tasks

Keep household tasks and errands where everyone can see them. Due dates help turn a loose “Could someone do this?” into a clear shared agreement.

Shopping lists for the weekly shop

Add missing items to one shared list as they come up. Whoever is shopping sees the same current list and can tick off completed items.

Meal planning with less guesswork

Plan meals for the week, keep recipes together and connect the plan with the shop. It gives the household a clear starting point for the next meal.
