Planning, responsibility, and growing together

Your family plans,
in one place.

Forge Family is one place for the family week: the schedule, meals, chores, and rewards. It works in one home, and across two. Children have their own login.

For parents, co-parents, and caregivers.

How your family uses it

Parents guide. Children take part.

  1. 01

    A parent sets the week.

    Add plans, assign chores, and decide which responsibilities earn points.

  2. 02

    A child follows through.

    They log in to their own account, see what’s due, and check off completed chores.

  3. 03

    A parent reviews.

    Approve completed responsibilities and reward requests. Children participate; parents keep the final say.

03 / Earned rewards

Give follow-through
something to look forward to.

After a parent approves completed responsibilities, children can use earned points to request rewards. Parents approve the choice, from small treats to bigger experiences.

Milestones can earn a celebration spin, too. Parents choose the prizes and award spins; children spin the reel for a fun surprise.

04 / Character notes

Notice the good
beyond the checklist.

The details that make a difference

Built around how families actually live.

Chores follow the child.

For families across two homes, chores count only on the days the child is at that home. The schedule shapes what’s expected.

Shared plans. Private calendars.

Coordinate family plans while each parent keeps a private calendar for their own events.

Dinner has a place, too.

Plan meals on a dedicated calendar, list groceries, and choose whether to add meals to the family calendar. When you’re stuck, use the meal or restaurant decision wheel. A parent makes the final call.

Why I built Forge Family

It started with my own family.

I’m Bobby, a dad and a co-parent in Lakewood. Our family plans were scattered around, and the planners and digital calendars I tried didn’t bring things together the way I wanted. I wanted something easier to use, more kid-friendly, and more fun.

So I built Forge Family: a place where kids can take some ownership of their responsibilities, and we can plan the week, keep up with school, share experiences, and save our family’s history. A place to get organized and grow together.

Make the next week easier.
