Everyone knows what today looks like.

School on one side, home on the other, one family thread down the middle. Homework, the timetable and after-school activities land in Fam ETC without anyone typing them in; lifts, kit bags and dinner get decided in chat — and turned into the plan with a tap.

Before

Five threads, a fridge door, and a slip you found on Monday.

Everyone had a piece of the week. Nobody had the week. The kit gets remembered in the car and the due date at 8pm.

Stay on top

You never chase a due date again.

A parent pastes each child's private homework and timetable links once, in Settings. From then on homework, the timetable and after-school activities land in Fam ETC by read-only synchronization every eight hours — nothing to re-type.

HomeworkOutstanding tasks, subjects and due dates — per child
TimetableThis week's periods, rooms and teachers
ECAs & activitiesClubs and squads, right in the timetable
Automatic refreshChecked every eight hours, only if the school changed something

Parent-controlled. The school link is encrypted, never shown again after you paste it, and only ever read. How we handle school data

Stay in touch

The thread where things actually get decided.

One chat for the whole family — parents and kids. And when a message is really a job, a date or a shopping run, turn it into one without re-typing a word. That's the moment "in touch" and "on top" become the same thing.

One Wednesday

A day in the family.

Every moment below is a feature doing its job — for Kate, Mia and Leo, on a school day like any other. Nothing lands at 8pm that you should have known at 8am.

  1. Reminders

    Leo’s football kit

    Nudged the night before and again before the school run.

    Kit + boots · in the car

  2. ECAs & timetable

    From the school timetable, in Leo’s colour, on everyone’s Today.

  4. Family chat

    “Can someone bring my goggles?”

    Leo asks the family. Kate answers from the office.

    Can someone bring my goggles?
    In the swim bag.

  5. Chat actions

    Dinner becomes a shopping list

    “Pasta, tomatoes, basil” → three items, shared with the family.

Everything else a family week needs

Same app, same calm layout, same family — one place for the things that don't come from school.

Meals

Plan the week's dinners together. Pick a night, put it to a vote, and the shopping list writes itself.

Shared calendar

School events and family plans in one week, filtered per child.

Trips

Plan a holiday with the other adults who are coming — dates, bookings, who brings what.

Goals & habits

Reading, practice, bedtime — small habits tracked without nagging.

Quizzes

Short rounds that follow this term's subjects — five minutes before dinner counts.

Puzzles

A daily puzzle for each age band. Siblings can race; parents usually lose.

House points

Straight from school, per child, with this week's change.

Questions parents ask first

Is Fam ETC really free?

Free for STA parents. Sign up with your STA invite code and there is nothing to pay. See pricing.

Is this an official St Andrews app?

No — Fam ETC is built by parents, for families. It reads the private school feeds you choose to connect, and nothing else.

Who can see our data?

Only your family. Parents control every connection, the school link is encrypted, and school sync is strictly read-only. Read the privacy policy.

What if a teacher doesn’t post the homework?

Snap the homework diary page. Fam ETC reads it and adds the tasks alongside the synced ones.

Does it work on iPhone and iPad?

Yes. The web app works on every device today, and the native iPhone & iPad app is available now on the App Store. One passkey login covers both.

What if we’re not at St Andrews?

Chat, the shared calendar, meals, reminders, goals and trips work for any family right now. School sync is currently available for St Andrews Bangkok.

Can my kids see everything I see?

No. Kids see the family thread and their own day — homework, activities, streaks. Billing, family settings and other children’s details stay with parents.

What will it cost us?

STA families sign up free with an invite code. Anything we charge other families in future will be listed on the pricing page before it applies.

Start with this week.
