You know the moment your kid is picked up.
When a helper picks up your kid, they tap Picked up. You get a notification right away, with the time. They tap Dropped off at the other end, so you never have to text and ask.
Bring your village into one app.
Village Loops is a private app where parents share a calendar with the people they trust and ask each other for help. It replaces messy group texts, so you stop missing messages and losing track of plans.
Coming soon to iPhone and Android. We'll email you once, when it's ready to download.

Group texts lose the plan.
Most parents run family life through a pile of group texts. A plan gets made on Monday. By Wednesday, it's buried under forty messages about something else.
Nobody can find the address. Nobody remembers who offered to drive. When you need help at the last minute, you text around and hope someone answers in time.
Village Loops gives each group its own shared calendar and its own chat. We call each group a loop. Plans stay where everyone can find them, and you can see who said yes.
We built it for parents who don't have family nearby and lean on friends, neighbors, and other parents instead.

Did anyone ever get Ava?
Ask for help.
Pick what you need, which kid, and when. Everyone in the loop gets a notice. The first person to tap I can help takes the spot, and the request shows as covered on both of your calendars.
Need two drivers for a carpool? Ask for up to six helpers. If nobody has answered a day before, the app reminds the loop once.
Make your selections to see how it works.

Your loop will get a notice. Anyone who can help will let you know.
The app does the remembering.
Every loop shows up on one calendar.
School pickups, soccer, and the birthday party each keep their own calendar. My Week puts them together, with each loop in its own color and name. Your private calendar link adds them to Apple, Google, or Outlook calendar too.
You choose who sees your kids' details.
Add each kid once, with allergies, car seat needs, emergency contacts, and the adults who can pick them up. For each loop, you decide how much people see.
The app stays quiet at night.
Quiet hours run from 9pm to 7am, and you can change them. Anything that arrives overnight waits for one summary in the morning. A check-in on your kid or an urgent request still gets through.
Make a loop for every group.
A loop is a small group with its own calendar and chat. Each loop can last for one season, like a school semester or a sports season, or stay open as long as you need it. The length beside each type is a suggested starting point, and you can change it.
-
School pickups
Trade pickups and drop-offs with a few families you trust. When plans change, ask the loop for help.
-
Sports team
Keep games and practices in one place. Parents can sign up to bring snacks or drive to away games.
-
Playdates
Plan playdates with the families your kids love, and take turns watching each other's kids.
-
Birthday party
Plan the party with other families. Send a link to guests without the app, and they can RSVP from it.
-
Moms' group
Plan meetups and help each other out, whether that means a coffee, a meal, or a ride.
-
Social group
Plan get-togethers with friends and see who's coming before you buy the food.
You'll also find Girls' night and Book club, or you can start from a blank loop. When a season ends, archive the loop or start the next season with the same people in one tap.
Start your first loop tonight.
First, start a loop and give it a name your friends will recognize.
Pick a starting point like School pickups. Add season dates if the loop is for one school year or one sports season.
Then send the invite link to the people you trust.
Share it in a text, or let someone scan the QR code at pickup. The link expires after 7 days, and you approve each person before they join.
Now your plans, your requests, and your people are in one place.
Add the week's events and your kids. Invite grandparents or a sitter as viewers, so they can see the schedule without posting.

Join the waitlistQuestions parents ask.
Who is Village Loops for?
It's for parents who rely on friends, neighbors, and other parents for pickups, carpools, and plans. It helps most when family lives far away. Co-parents, grandparents, and sitters can join your loops too.
When can I download it?
Village Loops is coming to the App Store and Google Play. Join the waitlist and we'll email you once, on the day it's ready. It launches in the United States first.
Who can see my information?
Only people in the loops you share. There are no public profiles and no way to search for people. Other members never see your email address.
Do my kids need accounts?
No. Kids are profiles that you and your co-parent manage. They never sign in. Accounts are for adults 18 and older.
What if a friend doesn't have the app?
Share one event with a link. Your friend can see the time and place and RSVP from the link without signing up.
Will it work with my calendar?
Yes. Your private calendar link adds your loop events to Apple, Google, or Outlook calendar. Your kids' details stay out of it.
Will my phone buzz all day?
No. Quiet hours hold notifications overnight, you can mute any loop, and a burst of messages arrives as one notification. On Sunday evening you get one short look at the week ahead.
Do you sell my data or show ads?
No. We don't show ads, and we never sell or share your data. You can download your data or delete your account from inside the app.
What happens when the season ends?
You archive the loop, and it leaves your calendar. You can also start a new season with the same people in one tap.
Can two people offer to help at once?
Only one person gets each spot. If someone takes it first, the app tells the next person right away and thanks them for offering.
Get it first.
Tell us which phone you use. We'll send one email when Village Loops is ready to download.
