Everything Calla does — in detail.
No platform jargon, no 30-feature laundry list. The handful of things that make Calla worth installing, and exactly how each one works.
Local activities your kids would actually do.
Filtered by your kids' ages and your city, sorted by distance and registration deadline. We pull from real venues — community centres, libraries, sports leagues, museums — not generic event aggregators that surface 30-and-up wine tastings.
- Per-kid horizontal rails — each child gets their own age-matched picks
- Conflict warnings — "this overlaps with Aathharv's swim lesson"
- One-tap save to the family calendar with the right kid pre-tagged
- Honest results — when there's nothing in your area, we say so instead of inventing
Beautiful invites, one-tap RSVPs.
Throwing a party? Pick from hundreds of ready-made designs — birthdays, baby showers, pujas, pool parties, housewarmings and more — drop your title exactly where you want it, and share a link anywhere. Guests open a gorgeous page and RSVP in a single tap: no app, no sign-up. Every reply lands on your family calendar automatically, so you always know who's coming.
- 900+ designs across every occasion — add your own text and place it with a drag
- Share by text, WhatsApp, or email — guests RSVP on a web page, nothing to install
- Live RSVP tracking — see who's in, and each "yes" auto-adds to your calendar
- A cinematic reveal greets each guest when they open your invite
Forward an email. Done.
Calla gives every family a private inbox address. Forward the soccer schedule, the dance recital flyer, the teacher's birthday-party reminder — Claude AI reads it, extracts the date, time, location, and dress code. Two taps later it's on the calendar with everyone tagged.
- Works with PDFs, photos, and forwarded email chains
- Detects recurring events (weekly Tuesday practice → 12 weeks of events)
- Asks for confirmation before saving anything ambiguous
- Emails you extract are deleted immediately; anything you don't act on auto-deletes within 7 days — we don't keep your inbox content
Snap a flyer. Get the events.
Point your camera at a school flyer — PA-day calendar, summer-camp schedule, after-school sign-up — and Claude AI reads the dates, times, and locations off the photo. You see the parsed event(s) before anything saves; tap to add the kids and confirm.
- Reads printed schedules, posters, and screenshots
- Pre-fills date · time · location · notes; you confirm before saving
- Pick which kids the event is for, right on the result screen
- The photo is sent to AI for parsing, not stored on our servers
Speak the event. Or cancel it.
Tap the mic and say it in plain English. Calla figures out the kid, the time, and the place — and saves it. Need to cancel? Say "Skip soccer tomorrow" or "Emma is missing camp Friday" and Calla finds the matching event(s) and removes them after you confirm.
- Add: "Emma has soccer at 3pm Wednesday" → saved event, right kid, right time
- Cancel / skip: cancel · delete · remove · drop · skip · calling off · missing · not going
- Recurring works too: "Kid 1 has piano every Thursday till June 25"
- Permission-clean: mic only when you tap, no background listening; typing always available
30 ready-made checklists for the chaos.
Daycare bag, sleepover, summer camp, winter pack, game night, potluck, homework station, road trip, school supplies, holiday gifts — 30 templates built by parents who needed them. Tap one and it's yours. Or describe what you need and Calla generates a fresh list with categories.
- 30 family-tested templates shipped — covers most real-life packing & planning
- Ask for a fresh one: "Disneyland 4-day with two kids under 10" → categorised list in seconds
- Shared with your co-parent in real time — they tick what they grabbed, you see it instantly
- Links to events — the matching packing list is one tap from the camp or trip on your calendar
Built for two adults running the same household.
Send your partner one invite link. They tap, set a password, and they're in — full visibility on every event, every list, every flyer that gets forwarded in. No "sync errors," no "did you accept the calendar share?".
- Real-time updates — when one parent adds an event, the other sees it instantly
- @mention in event comments — tag the other parent and they get a tap-to-open push
- Shared inbox prefix — flyers forwarded to either parent end up in the same inbox
- Deletion safety — accidental delete is undoable for 7 days
Ask on the event, not in the group chat.
Every event has its own comment thread. Leave a note, @mention whoever needs to see it, and it lands on their phone straight away — attached to the event it's about. No more scrolling back through a chat trying to work out which Tuesday you meant.
- @mention any family member — they get a tap-to-open push notification
- Comments live on the event, so the context is never lost
- Works both ways — your partner can answer from their own phone
- Read on the lock screen without exposing your child's name or location
Notifications you can actually trust.
Pick how far ahead you want to know — 15 min, an hour, a day before, or all three. Per-event overrides for the important ones. Quiet hours so we don't buzz at 2 AM. And on the lock screen, the alert stays generic — your child's name and the event location only appear in-app after you unlock.
- Push notifications via Apple Push + Firebase (proper native, not WebView hacks)
- Server-side reminder scheduling — works even when the app is closed
- Conflict alerts when two events overlap on the same day
- Lock-screen privacy — child names and locations never appear on the locked screen
