Cadent Family
A shared family organiser — one calendar, tasks, chores and shopping on everyone's phone. Photograph a paper schedule and AI turns it into calendar events you approve before anything is added.

Every family runs on paper.
School newsletters, sports cards, a note stuck to the fridge. Cadent Family puts it all in one place — photograph a schedule and it becomes calendar entries you approve, on everyone's phone at once.
Coming first to Android. Not yet in any store — we'll email you the day it's ready.
Why “Cadent”?
ca·dent · /ˈkeɪd(ə)nt/ · adjective
Falling in a regular rhythm — from the Latin cadere, “to fall,” the same root as cadence. A cadence is the steady beat a thing moves to.
Every household has one: practices and pickups, dinners and bedtimes, the week's recurring shape. Cadent Family helps you keep it — together, on everyone's phone.
What it does — and only what it does
The app proposes; you decide. Every point below is built and working.
Photograph a paper schedule
It reads dates, times and repeats, and shows you what it found before anything is added.
Nothing added without you
Every event it suggests is reviewed first. You approve the ones you want, one by one.
Private when it needs to be
Not every appointment is family business. Mark an event for everyone, just you, or a chosen few.
Parents see their kids' schedules
Grown-ups keep their own privacy from each other, while a child's day stays visible to their parents.
Everyone stays in step
Add or change something and it appears on everyone's phone automatically — no refreshing, no re-sending.
More than a calendar
One shared shopping list and a chore chart the whole household can see and update.
Snap a schedule, skip the typing
Photograph a school newsletter or a sports card and the app reads it into events — repeats and all. Nothing lands on your calendar until you review and approve it. The app proposes; you decide.
A real screen recording, narrated. It plays on a loop, muted until you turn the sound on.
A look inside
Real screens from the app, using an invented sample family. No mock-ups.
Photograph the schedule. Approve what matters.
The hardest part of a shared calendar is typing everything in. Cadent Family reads a photo of a paper schedule for you — and then hands the decisions back to you.
Take a photo
Snap the school newsletter, the season card, the practice sheet — however it arrived.
It reads the dates
Cadent finds the dates, times and repeats, and shows you a plain list of what it found.
You approve
Nothing is added until you say so. Keep the events you want, drop the rest, then it's on everyone's phone.
