During lockdowns, structuring children's routines—like daily rituals and homework—sharing household tasks fairly, and motivating kids to pitch in can transform family life, reducing stress and conflicts for millions of households. Enter Myfamiliz, the newly launched app available on app stores. Developed by two experienced mothers, it empowers families to plan ahead, distribute chores equitably, and build children's independence for smoother daily operations.
"We've crafted an intuitive, user-friendly interface that consolidates all essential tools for seamless family coordination," explains Marie-Anne Chesnel, co-founder of Myfamiliz. An intelligent algorithm equitably assigns household tasks based on parents' availability and children's ages, eliminating imbalances. It promotes independence through personalized reminders while a gamified points system rewards completed tasks, allowing parents to offer incentives like extra screen time.
From a shared smartphone dashboard, parents can manage a synchronized calendar, create and assign to-do lists, build shopping lists, and set reminders for medical appointments, vaccinations, and event-based chores. Myfamiliz acts as your all-knowing family assistant!
"Facing this challenge myself, I discovered Myfamiliz yesterday—available on iPhone and Android—and saw results within hours. Create your family profile by inviting members via phone or email, even adding guests for shared confinement. List recurring chores; the app suggests many, but customize by breaking them down, like 'clear table' plus 'wipe sponge.'
The app intelligently distributes tasks—reserve some for parents while teaching kids chores aren't magic. Share to-do lists, get reminders, and enjoy a fun scoreboard for motivation and parental recognition."
Features like event tracking, extracurricular reminders, and medical alerts were shaped by feedback from a dedicated parent community. It fosters independence: "When Louis heads to swim class on Mondays, notifications prompt him to pack independently," shares Myriam Delmas. A optional gamification system awards points based on task difficulty to encourage participation.
Age-appropriate access lets kids use the app on phones or tablets without logins. Personal data is fully protected. A Premium subscription launches soon at €4.99/month for extras. Future updates include voice integration with Google Home and Echo for hands-free tasking and non-readers.
Business school friends for 20 years, Myriam and Marie-Anne juggle careers, kids, homes, and moves—bonding over the 'mental load' that exhausts and sparks couple conflicts. "You think of everything, always," they note. Marie-Anne's Master 2 in Digital and French Tech training fueled the project, joined by Myriam for better organization, zen vibes, and gender equity.
Backed by parents, French Tech, BPI, Brittany Region, Initiatives, and Be a Boss, these 40-something entrepreneurs launched at a pivotal life moment, aligned with their values. Download Myfamiliz free on Google Play and Apple Store. Visit www.myfamiliz.com for details.
