Family organizer
A family organizer where the list and the chat are the same thing
“Did anyone book the dentist?” shouldn’t need a scroll through the family group chat. In seed, every chore, errand and plan is a task with an owner, a date and its own thread. Share one Home folder with the household, keep the gift list hidden, and let repeats bring back the weekly jobs on their own.
- $0 for unlimited notes, tasks and people
- No card to sign up
- 14 days of Pro included
How families set it up
A few folders, shared the right way
Home
Chores and errands, shared with everyone. Repeats for bins, laundry and the weekly shop.
Shopping
One running list anyone can add to. Tick it off in the shop from your phone’s browser.
Plans and trips
Holiday prep, birthdays and school forms, each with a date and the calendar showing the month ahead.
Gifts (hidden)
Give the kids no access and the folder doesn’t exist for them, name included.
Chat on each task
Questions about a job go on that job. Photos of the paint options go on the paint task.
Plan it for us
“@agent split the move between me and Tom and spread it over six weeks.” Done, with dates.
Set up in five minutes
01 · Make a folder
Call it Home
Add the chores and errands you already nag about, one line each.
02 · Invite
Pick their access
Editors can add and tick things off; viewers can only see. Anyone 13 or older with an email can join.
03 · Assign
Give every job an owner
Add a name, a date or a repeat. The bell shows each person what’s theirs and what’s late.
When a dedicated family app is the better pick
seed isn’t a family calendar app: it doesn’t sync with your phone’s calendar, and it has no meal planner, kid profiles or rewards for chores. Everyone signs in with their own Google, Apple or email account, and seed’s terms require people to be 13 or older (16 in the EEA and UK). It runs in the browser, including on phones; a native iPhone app with push notifications is coming soon. If a shared family calendar is what you’re after, an app like Cozi fits better. If you want the chores, errands and plans actually done, seed is the simpler place for it.
What it costs
Free has no time limit: unlimited notes, tasks, folders and people, team chat, 25 MB of uploads and 30 AI agent requests a month. Every new account starts with 14 days of Pro, no card. Pro is $9.99/month or $99/year when you want the agent sending, booking and posting for you. Full pricing.
FAQ
Questions, answered
What is the best free family organizer app?
For shared chores, errands, shopping and plans, seed is free for the whole household with no limit on people, lists or tasks. Every job has an owner, a date and its own chat thread. If you mainly need a shared calendar, a calendar-first app may suit you better.
Can we share a grocery list?
Yes. Make a Shopping folder, share it, and anyone can add or tick off items from their phone’s browser or computer. Changes show up for everyone straight away.
Can I assign chores to each family member?
Yes. Assign any task to one or several people, give it a date, and make it repeat daily, weekly or monthly. The reminders bell shows each person what’s due and what’s late.
Can I keep some lists private from the kids?
Yes. Access is set per folder: editor, viewer or no access. A folder someone has no access to is hidden from them completely, name included.
Do the kids need an account?
Each person signs in with Google, Apple or a code sent to their email. seed is for people 13 and older (16 in the EEA and UK).
