Managing family life can feel overwhelming, especially with all the different schedules, tasks, and events to coordinate. That’s why Maple, your all-in-one family organization app, offers customization options that let you tailor the app to fit your family’s specific needs. Whether you're looking to streamline your family calendar, improve communication, or organize your tasks, Maple's latest update gives you more control over how you use the app.
Here’s how you can make the most of these new features to manage your family’s schedule and stay organized:
1. Set Your Start Tab for Easy Access
Every family organizes their household a little differently. Maybe you rely on your family calendar, or perhaps you prioritize keeping track of tasks and to-do lists. With Maple, you can now customize your Start Tab so you open directly to the section of the app that matters most to your family. Whether that’s your Folders, Calendar, or Tasks, this feature ensures you're always just one tap away from what you need to manage your family’s day-to-day activities more effectively.
To set your Start Tab:
Open Maple
Tap into Settings
Scroll down to App Preferences
Tap “Starting Tab”
Choose your Tab!
2. Personalize Your Family Calendar
Your calendar is the foundation of your family’s organization, and with Maple, you can personalize it in ways that make sense for your household. You can choose which day your week starts on, whether it's Sunday, Monday, or any other day that fits your routine. You also have the flexibility to select how you view your schedule, whether you prefer a Side-by-Side, Week View, Month, or even special Maple calendar views like Timeline that gives you a complete overview of your family’s plans. What’s more, you can integrate your meal plans and tasks directly into your calendar, keeping everything in one place so you can easily manage your busy days without jumping between multiple apps.
By offering these custom calendar views and meal plan integrations, Maple becomes a more powerful tool to help you manage your family’s schedules, from after-school activities to meal prep.
3. Stay Updated with the Inbox
Staying in the loop with family activities is easier than ever with Maple’s Inbox Tab. This feature lets you see what’s been completed, by whom, and when, giving you a real-time overview of everything happening in your home. In addition, the Inbox Tab includes your news and chat messages, so whether it’s updates on a family event, task completion, or an important message, you can access it all in one place. Customize your notifications to ensure you're receiving the updates you care about most, making sure you never miss important details about your family’s day-to-day.
