A Shared Calendar Display Built for Co-Parenting Households

Custody schedules, pickup times, whose weekend it is, which parent has practice duty — co-parenting runs on a calendar, and it works best when everyone in the house can see it without asking. Go Check the Fridge puts your shared Google Calendar on a screen in the kitchen so the schedule is just... there. No app to open, no "can you check the calendar" text.

Why a Visible Display Helps

Co-parenting calendars usually already exist in Google Calendar — shared between households, color-coded by parent, tracking custody swaps and activities. The friction isn't building that calendar, it's that kids (and sometimes adults) don't check apps. A display on the fridge or wall means the schedule is visible the same way a paper calendar used to be, except it's always current and synced automatically when either household makes a change.

How It Works

Open the pairing page at gocheckthefridge.com/P and connect the Google Calendar you're already using to coordinate
Color-coded events (by parent, by kid, however you've already set it up) show as-is
Updates from either household appear on the display automatically — no manual syncing
Works on any spare tablet mounted at each home, so both households can run their own display off the same shared calendar

Who This Fits

Co-parenting families who already coordinate through a shared Google Calendar and want that schedule visible at a glance in each home — for kids checking "am I at Mom's or Dad's tonight" and for parents tracking pickups without a text thread.

FAQ

Can both households see the same calendar?: Yes — as long as the calendar is shared in Google Calendar, each household can run its own Go Check the Fridge display off the same synced schedule.
Does it show custody-specific labels or color-coding?: It displays whatever's already in your Google Calendar, including any color-coding or labels you've set up.
Do both parents need to pay separately?: Each household needs its own display and its own subscription if both want a physical screen running.
Is there a free trial?: Yes, 14 days free, then $8.99/month or $79/year.
