Events and to-dos
A birthday, a Sunday roast, the reunion: one plan everyone can see, with the jobs split up underneath it.
Creating an event
Tap the Events tab at the bottom of the app and then the round + button. You can start from a template for the occasion, or from a blank event. Give it a name, a date and time, and a place. Choose who’s invited (a few people or the whole family), and add a note if there’s something to know (“no presents, he says”). The event appears on the family calendar for everyone invited, and they get the invite as a notification.
The family calendar
Upcoming at the top of Events shows the next event and what comes after it, and Month shows a month calendar. Events that have passed are under Earlier. Birthdays from the tree are on the calendar automatically: add a birth date to a relative’s card and it’s there every year.
To-dos
Every event has a to-do list underneath it. Add the jobs (book the table, bring the cake, pick up Nana) and give each one to someone. People tick their own off, and the event shows how far along the plan is. Tap the To-dos button near the top of Events (it shows how many are open) to see every open job across all your events in one place.
What the free plan and the paid plans do
Planning an event, inviting the family and the to-dos are free for everyone. On the free plan a family can hold a small number of upcoming events at once. Kunbaa Plus and Kunbaa Ultra have no limit, and add smart events: a family vote to find a time that works for every home, a who-brings-what board on any event, RSVP reminders and a private calendar feed.
On the day
Photos posted to the wall during an event gather under it, so the reunion album makes itself. Afterwards the event moves to Earlier with its photos attached. Next year’s planning starts from there.
Questions families ask
Do birthdays appear on their own?
Yes. Any birth date on the tree shows up on the family calendar every year, so the reminder comes from the tree, not from someone remembering to type it in.
Can I invite only some of the family?
Yes. Choose who's invited when you create the event; only they get the invite and the reminders. Leave it open to the whole family for the big ones.
What are to-dos?
The jobs behind an event: book the table, bring the cake, pick up Nana. Each one has an owner and a tick box, and they live under the event so the plan and the work stay together.
Do people outside Kunbaa get the invite?
Not directly. Invite them to the family first (it's free) and the event comes with it. There are no public event pages or links.
Is there a limit on events on the free plan?
Yes. A free family can hold a small number of upcoming events at once, and past events never count. Kunbaa Plus and Kunbaa Ultra have no limit on events. Kunbaa asks before you fill in a new event, so you are never refused after typing it all out.
What do Kunbaa Plus and Kunbaa Ultra add to events?
Smart events: a family vote to find a time that works, a who-brings-what board, RSVP reminders and a private calendar feed. Kunbaa Plus and Kunbaa Ultra both include them. Planning the event itself, inviting the family and the to-dos are free for everyone.
Will I get a reminder?
Yes, as a notification before the event and, for birthdays, on the day. You control notifications in Settings.
