Reimagining Family Life.
We all know how chaotic family life can be.
Zen Family is a new platform designed to help busy parents manage everything from chores and shopping, to events and playdates.
Our software helps users to free up time, to spend it on the stuff that matters.
Create Time:
Me Time, We Time and Family Time.
Is your family ready to go Zen?
The Challenge
For busy parents, organising and managing family life can take up every spare second of their free time. And despite their best efforts, it can still be chaotic.
In order to stay on top of the myriad of tasks they must complete on a weekly basis just to keep the family functioning (food, children’s activities, housework, admin and more) there is often a trade off with self-care and wellbeing.
The Solution: Zen Family
Zen Family is a digital solution which allows parents to manage their day-to-day routines with minimal effort and maximum efficiency, the aim of which is to free up valuable spare time and money which can be better spent on activities which support wellbeing and healthy family dynamics.
Zen Family is built around an intelligent calendar which provides a single place for organising all of the most important elements of family life. The intelligent calendar will be an intuitive and easy to use calendar, where all family members contribute to and view the week’s schedule and tasks.
The supporting suite of tools are designed to address the key pain points we identified when talking to families about their every day challenges: Poor Physical Health, Stress & Fatigue, Loss of Work-Life Balance and Disconnectedness.
We believe that in a family, there are three key parts to maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle:
Me Time
We Time
Family Time
Our platform is designed to encourage users to make time for each of the above in equal measure, so everyone can feel a little more Zen.
What makes Zen Family different to other family organiser apps?
The concept of Zen Family is built around the belief that better time management should lead to a less chaotic home life, enabling parents to feel more Zen.
We believe that the key pillars of a balanced family life are having a healthy balance of time for yourself, time with your partner, and time together as a family.
Sometimes life might get in the way, causing you to move out of equilibrium. The Zen Family app is designed to support you in maintaining the balance that keeps everyone feeling good.
One Place for All Things Family
View and manage your family’s schedule in one place with helpful categorisation and integrations with other tools to minimise the need for manual inputs or duplication of effort.
All Your Calendars in One Place
Consolidate everyone’s schedule using the Shared Calendar function, allowing you to plan your activities without the worry of missing an appointment or forgetting to pick up the kids!
Organise Events with Ease
With the help of the Intelligent Calendar, we believe parents can use the time saved on things which support mental and physical wellbeing. We call this me time, we time and family time.

The Benefits
We believe that families who work together and achieve better efficiency through the use of the Zen Family platform can achieve a range of benefits which ultimately lead to improved wellbeing and better family relationships.
Build Stronger Family Relationships
Zen Family encourages families to work together as a team to complete household tasks, to schedule time to do activities together, and perhaps most importantly, to sit down to dinner together regularly.
Free Up Time for the Things That Count
Use the Zen Family app to help teach the children all about contributing to the household. While they complete chores to earn points and rewards, you can finally put your feet up and have a well earned rest!
Reduce Stress and Improve Wellbeing
Through increased efficiency in sharing the workload, and smarter decision making supported by the apps features, users can use the time they have saved to do things which support their own wellbeing.
Adopt Healthy Habits While Having Fun
The app will use gamification throughout, encouraging all users to adopt healthier habits, across all areas of family life. Work as a team to become healthier and happier as a family.
Turn Chaos into Calm with the Intelligent Calendar
Use the calendar to create, manage and view all your events and commitments. Each family member gets their own calendar which feeds into the central shared calendar.
Take the stress out of organising family events, personal appointments, play dates, holidays and more.
The calendar will use AI to remind users to make time for wellbeing with helpful prompts and suggestions.
Get the whole family working as a team
Create a shared family to-do list which connects with the central family calendar. Earn points for completing tasks and compete with your family members to see who wins. Family members can then use their points to get rewards.
- Make daily household tasks more fun
- Create a team dynamic
- Encourage independence and accountability
- Incentivise a good work ethic
- Develop healthy competition
Select your meals, and let the app take care of the rest
Providing your family with meals which are both varied and healthy can be difficult to do, especially when both parents are busy working.
Zen Family includes a vast range of meal and recipe ideas which can be tailored to meet dietary and nutritional requirements. Simply select your meals for the week and see them added to the family calendar.
The platform will also link to the user’s supermarket of choice where automated addition of items the week’s selected meals can be enabled.
Organise Play Dates and Other Events with Ease
Organising play dates has never been so easy with Zen Family’s smart feature packed Play Date function. Invite and share details through the platform, using the calendar and messaging functions.
Save contact details and specific needs (such as your child’s dietary requirements, health information etc) so you can have peace of mind that the play date will go off without a hitch.
You can even use the platform to organise events such as birthday parties, where you can send updates and notifications in real time.
View Your Progress Using Our Family Vitals Dashboard
Zen Family is underpinned by our unique Family Vitals Dashboard which reports on the activity of all family members, so parents and children alike can gain a better understanding of how their daily habits may impact their physical and emotional wellbeing.
Based on what the findings say, the app can then make smart suggestions to the users within a family which will help them to improve their wellbeing through small improvements in their daily habits.
Our mission is to enable parents to be more efficient in their everyday lives, so they are able to spend more time on things which support the wellbeing of all family members.
By designing a platform which enables parents to manage all things family more effectively, we believe a healthier family dynamic can be enabled, where focus and effort can be put into the things that matter, rather than the mundane.
