The UK school year
Three terms, three half-terms, and a letter for everything.
Most family apps are written around a US school year. Sense reads what UK schools actually send and puts it where the whole family can see it.
Pay-by and reply-by dates
Trip payments, dinner money top-ups and consent slips become reminders with the deadline on them, separate from the trip itself.
Term dates and INSET days
Send Sense the school's term dates letter or the council's PDF and every term, half-term and INSET day goes on the calendar. Try it now with the free PDF to calendar tool, no account needed.
The class WhatsApp group
Sense is a contact in WhatsApp. Forward the message about the cake sale or the costume for World Book Day and it replies with what it added. How it works
Beyond school
The rest of the week in the same place.
Clubs and activities
Swimming, Beavers, football, Brownies. Snap the timetable or forward the club email and the sessions go on the calendar for the right child.
Lists everyone can add to
One shopping list for the big shop, one for the school uniform, one for half-term packing. Changes show up on everyone's phone.
Chores, pocket money and tea
Routines for the morning rush, chores that earn pocket money, and a weekly meal plan. These are part of Premium.

Sense Hub turns an iPad (iPadOS 15.1 or later) or an Android tablet (Android 7 or later) into an always-on family calendar for the kitchen or hallway, with weather in Celsius and your photos as the screensaver.
