← All comparisonsMaziko vs Google Calendar

A fairer alternative to Google Calendar.

Google Calendar is superb at events and reminders, and Maziko feeds straight into it so you keep using it. But it has no idea whose week it is, what a handover is, or who should see which child. It is a calendar, not a shared home for family life.

Why families choose Maziko instead

Everyone who helps, not just two parents

Grandparents, a childminder and a new partner each get their own view of just what they need. Most co-parenting apps stop at the two parents.

Handovers that remember the kit

Every swap between homes has a time, a place and a list of what goes with each child (PE kit, reading book, inhaler), ticked off as they go. Not just a line in the calendar.

Works with the calendar you have

Maziko feeds straight into Apple and Google Calendar, and you can download everything any time. No lock-in.

Try the fairer option.

Get updates and invite your co-parent, it never costs them a thing.
