Your family’s week, mapped out before Monday morning

Apr 29, 2026 - By The Maple Team

You know that feeling on Sunday night — the one where your brain starts spinning through everything the week holds? Soccer practice Tuesday, dentist Thursday, the permission slip you haven’t signed, the groceries no one’s bought yet. It all swirls together into one low-grade hum of stress. We built the new agenda feature in Maple because that feeling shouldn’t be the default way your week begins.

The Sunday spiral is real

Most families we talk to describe the same thing. The week doesn’t start on Monday —it starts Sunday evening, when one parent (usually the same one) mentally sorts through every commitment, conflict, and to-do that’s coming. It’s exhausting,and the worst part is that it’s invisible. No one else in the house sees it happening.

The problem isn’t that your family is too busy. It’s that all the information about your busy life lives in too many places — a school app here, a shared calendar there, a text thread somewhere else, and a whole lot of stuff that only exists in someone’s head.

That's the gap we set out to close.

*Your morning briefing in Maple — events, tasks, and meals at a glance.*

Meet the agenda: your family’s week at a glance

Maple’s agenda feature pulls everything together into one clear, shared view of your week. Think of it as a family briefing that both parents can see, not just the one who’s been carrying it all in their head.

EverySunday evening (or whenever you choose), Maple compiles your family’s upcoming week into a single agenda. It pulls from your calendars, your family’s saved routines, upcoming tasks, and any events you’ve added. Then it organizes everything day by day, so you can see the full picture without opening five different apps.

*The agenda organizes your family's day into clear time blocks — with every event, every person, one view.*

One parent told us: “I used to spend 30 minutes on Sunday writing out the week on a whiteboard. Now I just open Maple and it’s already there.”

It’s shared, so no one’s out of the loop

The real magic of the agenda is that it’s not private. Everyone in your Maple family sees the same view. That means your partner isn’t asking “wait, what’s happening Thursday?” at 7 AM on Thursday. Your co-parent across town has the same picture you do.

*Everyone's day, side by side — color-coded so you can spot conflicts instantly.*

You can also add notes to any day. Heading into a tough work week? Drop a note so your partner knows. Kid has a big test Wednesday? Flag it so the whole family can rally around it. These small moments of shared awareness add up to something big — the feeling that you're actually doing this together.

‍

Built around how families actually work

We designed the agenda feature around real patterns we see in families using Maple. That meant a few deliberate choices.

First, the agenda updates automatically. When you add something to your calendar or a new school event syncs, it shows up in the weekly view without anyone doing extra work. No copying and pasting between apps.

Second, it works alongside Maple's AI suggestions. If Maple notices you haven't assigned a carpool driver for Friday's practice, it'll gently flag it in the agenda. It's not nagging — it's the kind of heads-up you'd want from a really thoughtful friend.

Third, you can customize what shows up. Some families want every detail. Others just want the big-picture commitments. You control the level of detail, and each family member can set their own preference.

Starting your week calmer

The agenda feature isn't about cramming more into your week. It's about walking into Monday with a clear head — knowing what's coming, knowing who's handling what, and knowing that nothing important has slipped through the cracks.

That Sunday night spiral? It doesn't have to be your weekly ritual. When your family has a shared agenda, the mental load gets lighter because it's finally visible — and finally shared.
