How it works
Set it up once. The whole family stays in sync.
Team apps make every parent, grandparent, and kid subscribe to each schedule on their own. With GamePlan, one person connects the team, and everyone sees it in the Calendar app they already use.
- 01 Copy your team’s calendar link
- TeamSnap, SportsEngine, LeagueApps, and most school and club sites offer a link to subscribe to their schedule.
- 02 Paste it into GamePlan
- Pick whose calendar it belongs on, like Emma’s or Jack’s. GamePlan shows you the events before you save.
- 03 Everyone stays up to date
- Games, practices, and changes show up on every shared calendar. Nobody else has to install anything.
Features
Always know what changed, and when.
Fields move, games get rescheduled, practices get cancelled. GamePlan keeps up, and tells you what’s different.
Hear about changes first
When a game moves or a practice is cancelled, GamePlan sends a notification that says exactly what changed.
See exactly what changed
Every sync records what was added, moved, or cancelled, with the old and new time and place side by side.
Every team at a glance
See each team’s next event, its season, when it last synced, and its recent changes in one place.
Paste a link. That’s it.
Add a team in seconds, choose whose calendar it goes on, and preview the events before anything is saved.
- Works with any calendar link
- If a team, school, or club offers a calendar subscription link, GamePlan can sync it. Sports, school, work, or anything else.
- Import a printed schedule
- Only have a PDF or a paper handout? Take a photo or pick the file, and GamePlan turns it into calendar events.
- Syncs in the background
- GamePlan checks your teams throughout the day without you opening it. Swipe a team to sync it right away.
- Only one person needs the app
- Everyone else just opens Calendar on their iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Grandparents included.
- Organized by person
- Each team goes on the calendar you choose, in that calendar’s color, so it’s clear who needs to be where.
- No account to create
- No sign-up and no passwords. Your schedules live in your own iCloud calendars.

Family setup
How to set up your family’s calendars.
GamePlan works best with one shared iCloud calendar for each person. It takes a few minutes in the Calendar app, and you only do it once.
Why not the built-in Family calendar?
It puts everyone’s events in one color, with no way to see one person’s schedule. A calendar per person keeps the week easy to scan, and lets each of you hide what you don’t need.
-
1
Create a calendar for each person
In Calendar, add an iCloud calendar for each child, like “Emma” and “Jack,” and give each one its own color. Parents can have one too.
-
2
Share each calendar with your family
Invite everyone who needs to see it. Let parents edit, so they can add events too. Kids without a device don’t need an invite.
-
3
Add each team in GamePlan
Paste the team’s calendar link and choose whose calendar it goes on.
-
4
You’re done
Everyone you invited sees the games and practices in their own Calendar app, and GamePlan keeps them current.
FAQ
Common questions.
- Does everyone in my family need GamePlan?

-
Look in your team app’s schedule for an option like “Export,” “Subscribe,” or “Sync to
calendar.” Copy the link it gives you, which usually starts with
webcal://orhttps://. - How often does GamePlan sync?
- Several times a day in the background, and again when you open the app after a couple of hours. iOS decides exactly when background syncs run, so you can also swipe a team to sync it right away.

- The next sync updates the event on everyone’s calendar, and GamePlan sends you a notification saying what changed.
