Hey PH 👋
We started Famnest because family life today is scattered across too many places. Messages in one app, schedules in another, important health info buried in notes, and bills somewhere else entirely. It works… until something slips.
So we asked ourselves: what would it look like if everything a family needs actually lived in one place?
Here’s how we’re using it ourselves.
Our family calendar isn’t just dates, it’s birthdays, school events, and the small everyday logistics that keep things running. Important info like allergies, contacts, and notes are structured so nothing gets lost or forgotten. Bills and shared expenses are visible without awkward reminders or chasing.
One thing that’s made a bigger difference than we expected is the daily digest. Instead of checking multiple apps or asking around, you get a clear overview of what’s happening today, what’s coming up, and anything that needs attention. It sounds simple, but it removes a lot of small daily friction.
The biggest shift for us has been coordination. Fewer messages, fewer repeated conversations, and far less “who’s handling this?”. Everything is already there, shared, and clear.
We’re building this with privacy at the core. Family data is deeply personal, and we think it should stay that way. No selling data, no unnecessary exposure, just a secure space for the people who matter most.
We’re still early, and we’re shaping this together with the people using it. We’ve also started a small (and growing) subreddit where people share how they organize family life and what they wish existed, feel free to join us there as well.
Question for PH: what’s the one thing in your family life that always falls through the cracks?
Would genuinely love to hear how others are dealing with this.
I love Famnest! As someone who has to coordinate a ton of multiple family medical appointments and keep medical information for each it’s been a lifesaver. Everything is in one app! I am also very impressed and happy that they take user suggestions seriously. To me it doesn’t feel like a user/developer relationship. It feels more like family members discussing a product. In today’s world where everyone is behind a screen it’s almost impossible to get that sense of working with a close friend or family member and not a stranger. Famnest is different and I would definitely recommend this app to anyone.

@suzanne_lively This truly warms our hearts, thank you for sharing this, Suzanne!
Congrats on the launch.
Japan-based founder here. One Japan-specific thought: family coordination apps are very culture-sensitive here. Japanese families already coordinate heavily through LINE and shared calendars, so the product may need a very specific reason to switch.
Caregiving, bills, health info, and privacy are also sensitive areas, so the first Japan angle may need to be narrower than generic family organization.

@wakuta Hey Ryuta, thank you, I really appreciate it. I think you’re absolutely right about Japan. We’ve heard similar feedback from Japanese users, especially around how central LINE is for coordination. At the same time, some have mentioned that having a more dedicated space can still add value. If you compare it to the West, things tend to be much more fragmented with WhatsApp groups and different tools, so it’s clear that Japan is already operating in a far more structured way, which is genuinely impressive. That said, since we are still seeing interest from Japan, I wonder if there’s an opportunity to build a bridge rather than replace existing behavior. For example, something similar to WeChat mini apps but within the LINE ecosystem. I’d be very curious to hear your thoughts on that. Would love to stay in touch. Feel free to add me on LinkedIn and we can continue the conversation. :) Have a great day, and arigato gozaimasu. ありがとうございます。
@siloteam Thanks Rasmus — I sent you a LinkedIn request.
I agree that “bridge, not replace” is probably the right frame for Japan. LINE is already the default coordination layer here, so I would avoid positioning Famnest as a LINE replacement.
I’d test Famnest as a more structured, privacy-first layer for things that get lost inside chat:
1. caregiving / multi-generational household coordination,
2. health, bills, school, and family admin info,
3. recurring logistics that need structure rather than another message thread.
The LINE mini-app idea is interesting, but I’d first validate whether Japanese families want a dedicated “family logistics layer” that complements LINE rather than competes with it.

@wakuta This is such golden feedback. I can’t thank you enough, and I agree with everything you’ve said. :) I’m going to add you on LinkedIn, and we’ll be sure to continue the discussion there. Have a wonderful day. Cheers.
@siloteam Thanks Rasmus — really appreciate it.
That sounds good. I’ll keep the PH thread light here, but happy to continue on LinkedIn.
Have a great day too.
Hi! Personally since I have found this app it has been so helpful in my everyday life! Nothing scattered anymore, days all organised. I love it and don’t know what I would do to organise my day without it!

@chelsea_klarnett1 That is amazing to hear, Chelsea! Your support means the world and we will continue to make the app better every day!
this is super useful for young families and larger families as well. I can see how we can share responsibilities across siblings as well with aging parents and niece/nephew care! Super cool, definitely gonna suggest this in the family group chat

@sandra_jirongo This is so lovely to hear, thank you. And maybe one day we will a group chat feature inside the Famnest app as well! :)
