We compared Moment24 to Cozi, TimeTree, Google Calendar, Skylight, and OurFamilyWizard — plus the trusty paper calendar on the fridge. Here's what each one does well and where it falls short for a Quebec parent in shared custody, a blended family, or just overwhelmed.

Moment24 is the only shared family calendar built, written, and hosted in Quebec. Official calendars from Quebec school service centres and Ontario school boards import in one click, orthodontist appointments six months out remind themselves, and the calendar lives in two homes without copy-pasting dates by text.
Other tools are either American (Cozi, Skylight, OurFamilyWizard), built for an individual (Google Calendar), built for a couple living together (TimeTree), or made of paper. None is built specifically for a Quebec family in shared custody, with two grandparents involved and two jobs to juggle.
That's why we built it. And that's why the full version is free for life for the first 100 Quebec families to sign up.
Cozi is the most-downloaded family organizer in the US. It bundles a shared calendar, grocery list, and family routines. Limits for a Quebec parent: English UI, no integration with Quebec or Ontario school boards, no text/email import, data hosted in the US (no Law 25 compliance), and only basic co-parenting support. Great for a traditional English-speaking family; missing several pieces for shared custody in Quebec.
TimeTree is clean, free, and pretty. Every event has a chat thread, nice for a couple or small group. But TimeTree stays a calendar, not a mental-load system: no recurring health appointments, no magic import, no ride management between parents, no official school calendars. Fine when you just need a shared calendar; short when you need to actually put the mental load down.
Google Calendar is likely already open in a tab. The problem isn't sync — it's that Google treats every calendar as an individual's. Family calendar mode is just another shared calendar: no child view, no co-parenting, no admin/guest distinction, no custody logic. Moment24 connects to Google Calendar (and Outlook) to pull what matters into a family-shaped view. Google stays the source; Moment24 becomes the dashboard.
Skylight is the gorgeous screen frame you hang in the kitchen with the family calendar big. Beautiful, but also hardware you buy (around $400 CAD + a yearly subscription to unlock features). It syncs Google and Apple but adds nothing on co-parenting, Quebec official school calendars, or smart import. Moment24 runs its own Home Mode on any old tablet or phone — no frame to buy.
OurFamilyWizard is the tool when co-parenting goes through court: tamper-proof message history, expense log, reports for a lawyer or mediator. Powerful in high-conflict cases, but expensive (around $145 CAD per parent per year), heavy, and built for legal evidence, not daily life. Most separated Quebec families don't need a file for a judge — they need a clear calendar for two homes. That's what Moment24 does, without the legal record.
No bugs, no password, never needs an update. The paper calendar on the fridge is still the most-used tool in Quebec homes. The limits show the moment there are two households: it doesn't share remotely, it gets lost, it stays at the other parent's house, and it never reminds you about the orthodontist appointment six months out. Moment24 keeps what's good about it (see everything at a glance, readable Home Mode in the kitchen) and fixes what it can't do: sync across two homes and remember long-term appointments.
Moment24 is the only family calendar built in Quebec for Quebec parents: co-parenting, official school calendars for Quebec and Ontario, magic import from text or email, Canadian data hosting, Law 25 compliance.
No — it connects to it. Google (and Outlook) stays your personal calendar's source. Moment24 pulls what's relevant to the family into a view built for two homes, kids, and grandparents.
Absolutely. Many families run Moment24's Home Mode on an old tablet in the kitchen, next to the paper calendar. Difference: the tablet updates itself when the other parent changes something.
OurFamilyWizard is built for high-conflict co-parenting: legal-grade history, records for court files, high per-parent yearly cost. Most separated families don't need a court file — they need a shared calendar that actually works for two homes.
The first 100 Quebec families to sign up keep full access for life, free.
