This is what a Quilt calendar looks like

A made-up family, Sam and Jordan, week-on/week-off with two kids. Colors are whose days they are. Dots are the kids' things. Dashed days are a change one parent asked for. Tap any day.

CustodySamAvaLeoEach person is a calendar you can turn on and off. Jordan's personal calendar is private from Sam, and the other way round.

Hi Ava · ☀️ 78°

Chores today★ 9 this week

★ 9 = $2.25

Paid out on Sundays

Parents set chores, stars, and what a star is worth: money, screen time, or a reward ladder.

On the kitchen counter

Echo Show widget and “Alexa, open quilt calendar”

The widget sits on the Echo Show home screen and refreshes itself. Tap a name to switch between people: parents see whose house and the week, kids see their chores and tick them off right on the Echo. Ask Alexa whose house it is tonight, when the next hand-off is, what's on Saturday, what Ava's chores are, or say “add swim practice Tuesday at six”.

Alexa says it too, then listens: “whose house is it tonight”, “when is the next hand-off”, “what's on Saturday”, “what are the chores for Ava”, “add swim practice Tuesday at six”.

Each parent links their own account, so the Echo at each house shows that parent's view. Also works with a plain Google Calendar link to Alexa, no skill needed.

Messages that stay calm

A thread with the other parent, the family, or one kid

Read receipts, everything timestamped into the record. When a draft reads heated, Quilt shows why and offers the same message without the heat. Send either; nothing is blocked.

Can you take Saturday pickup? Ava's recital runs late.

Yes. 3 pm at the field?

Perfect, thank you.

Seen by Jordan

Sam's draft

You ALWAYS do this. Figure out your own ride for once.

This reads heated. Character accusations and all caps land badly.

Same message, cooler

I can't do Saturday pickup this time. Can you arrange a ride?
