A calendar for playdates.
PlayPair is for the part of family life that lives between households — arranging playdates with the parents of your children's friends, and coffee or dinner with them too. Offer a few times, let them pick, and keep the plan, the place and what to know about each child in one spot.
Free on Google Play · iPhone coming soonOffer times, not a decision
Suggest a few times. The other parent taps what works — straight from a text, no app needed.
Care details, by consent
Allergies and emergency contacts stay in your family unless you switch sharing on, and only for a current plan.
Ideas when you're stuck
Local places worth a visit, nearby parks, and favorites rated by other parents — never homes.
Plans for the grown-ups
Switch a plan to Grown-ups for coffee, a walk or a night out with other parents — no kids on it.
The day itself
One tap for running late, a change of place or a quick message. Photos go in an album for the families who were there.
Two parents, one family
Add your partner with a short code. You both update the same children, and other families see each child once.

Questions parents ask
Is PlayPair free?
Yes. No adverts, no subscription, and nothing is sold.
Does the other parent need the app?
No. They get a text with a link and pick the times that work in their browser. If they install PlayPair later, the plan moves into their calendar.
Is it only for playdates?
No — switch any plan to Grown-ups for coffee, a walk, dinner or a night out with friends.
Who can see my child's allergies?
Nobody outside your family unless you switch sharing on for that child, and then only other parents on a current plan with them. Care details never appear in notifications, texts or invite links.
Is there an iPhone version?
It's on its way to the App Store. Parents with an iPhone can already reply to any invitation from the text link.
