One calendar for everyone at home. No accounts.
A private home for family life.
One shared calendar and to-do list for everyone at home — with per-person colours, repeating events, reminders that actually arrive, and invites you can email to people who don’t use the app. No accounts, encrypted end to end.
Free · works offline · installs like an app · nothing to sign up for.
What it does
Built for the way a household actually runs
-
Everyone’s week, in one place
A month grid to see where things sit, an agenda to see what’s next. Each person has their own colour and a short badge, so a day reads at a glance even when four people have something on.
-
Tasks live on the calendar too
A chore isn’t an event — but “what’s on Tuesday” is one question, and answering half of it means the other half gets forgotten. Tasks dot their day like anything else, with a checkbox where the difference belongs.
-
Repeating events, done properly
A whole series is one entry, so swimming every Tuesday doesn’t clutter anything. Move or cancel a single week and the rest of the series carries on untouched — even after that occurrence has been shifted.
-
Reminders that actually arrive
A web app can’t keep its own alarm clock, so the server keeps a list of times and wakes your phone — with an empty message. Your device decrypts and writes the notification itself. Tasks keep reminding you until they’re ticked off; events don’t nag.
-
Email an invite to anyone
Send an event to somebody who doesn’t use the app and it lands in their own calendar — Apple, Google, Outlook. Edits update the entry they already have instead of adding a second one. Off until the whole family turns it on.
-
Private means unreadable, not hidden
Mark an entry private and it’s encrypted to exactly the people it’s for, under a key nobody else in the family holds. Not a setting the app agrees to respect — a document the other devices genuinely cannot open.
-
A person, not a user account
A kid with no phone is still on the calendar. People and devices are separate things: you add the person, and whoever picks up a phone says which person they are.
-
No account, no email, no password
A 24-word recovery phrase is the whole identity. Everything is encrypted on your device before it syncs, it works offline, and it installs like a normal app.
Reminders & email
Two things a private calendar usually can’t do
A calendar nobody is reminded by is a diary, and one that can’t tell a grandparent about Sunday is a wall chart. Family Manager does both — and because both involve someone other than your own device, both are explained in full rather than mentioned in passing.
How it works
Encrypted, without accounts
- 1
One recovery phrase
On first use, Family Manager generates a 24-word recovery phrase. Those words are your identity — there's no account, username, or password behind them.
- 2
The phrase unlocks your keystore
The phrase derives a master key that encrypts a small personal keystore — the list of shared spaces you belong to and the key for each.
- 3
Each shared space has its own key
A family has one group key. Everything in it is stored as documents encrypted with that key. Sharing the space means sharing that one key — via a QR code or invite — and the space's owners decide who's in. Remove someone and the key is rotated and re-shared to everyone who remains, so they see nothing new.
- 4
A blind server just relays ciphertext
Your devices sync through a server that stores and forwards encrypted blobs and pushes live updates. It never holds a key, so it cannot read anything it syncs.
Security
Even the sync server can’t read it
- One recovery phrase 24 BIP39 words derives your master key
- Master key encrypts your keystore the list of spaces you belong to
- Group key encrypts one space's documents every event, encrypted
Stores & relays encrypted blobs. Fans out live updates. Cannot decrypt anything.
Why it’s different
Private by design
-
End-to-end encrypted
Encryption and decryption happen only on your devices. Plaintext never leaves the device.
-
The server is blind
It's untrusted infrastructure by design: it stores and relays ciphertext and never holds a key. Compromising the server leaks nothing readable.
-
No accounts, nothing to breach
No email, no password, no profile. There's no user database to leak — just anonymous encrypted blobs keyed by hashes.
-
Open source
The apps, the encryption core, and the server are all public. Inspect the crypto or self-host the server — you don't have to take our word for it.
-
Standard, modern crypto
libsodium primitives (XChaCha20-Poly1305, BLAKE2b) and BIP39 phrases. No custom cryptography.
-
Works offline
A PWA with a local encrypted cache — it works without a connection and syncs when it's back.
The Mycelium
One private foundation, a family of apps
The Mycelium is a small family of apps that all share the same promise — no accounts, end-to-end encrypted, and open source. Set up once and the same private identity works across every one of them.
