Famundo – Organizing the family
I am fresh back from holidays and have a whole lot to organise before school goes back…It’s great news that Famundo have released their family platform and has also provided Famundo for FREE for organizations. Currently you have the option of trialing the family version of Famundo with a simple demo or a 60 day trial version…but what is Famundo?
“Family life has become increasingly unmanageable with parents juggling multiple schedules for school, work, sports and social activities. Until now, there hasn’t been a single solution that is tailored to specifically meet all the needs of today’s on-the-go families.”
Not anymore, Famundo is here…
Managing the logistics of family life and family members schedules is manic, with the mom usually at the centre of wirlwind. I have seen some pretty elaborate and colorful schedule charts that are both confusing and time consuming to maintain. What I like about this offering is that the mom can set up all the family members, each with their own set of areas for keeping addresses and contact information of their friends, store files, manage their calendar and events, list of to dos and so on (entire features, here). I do like the fact that it is very customized and specific to the behavior of the family in maintaining all the “logistics” that goes into managing and running a family. I found with Cingo, I only used the “to do” area, grocery and recipe list.
With Famundo I can see myself managing all aspects of the family not just from my viewpoint but from each family members lives and what relates to them. That is very useful.
I wonder if Famundo will consider, maybe not entire calendar syncing, but maybe the appointments or events in calendar can be sent to Outlook and updated individually, as you wouldn’t want to sync everything…
Give the 60 day trial a run and let me know what you think?

Thanks for mentioning us. Just wanted to let you know that the ‘60 day trial’ link is wrong and it should be https://app.famundo.com/signup

Hi Rachel
Thanks for the great article! Both Outlook and Palm sync are due out very soon and you can now easily subscribe to any iCal calendar as well.
One thing I want to mention is that Famundo goes beyond just managing the family, but connecting the family to the community it belongs to.
One of the major causes of stress today is managing the family’s schedule. Kid’s have school, sports and other activities. Parents have work and home. Trying to keep it organized is a major undertaking.
Famundo can connect your schedule with the other schedules that are important to you. We offer a free version of Famundo, http://www.famundo.com/organizations, for any community organization. If they use Famundo, your school, church, sports and other events can be automatically added to your schedule, with no effort on your part.
