Nidalumi
TimeTree alternative: Nidalumi, a family calendar where every task has an owner
Looking for a TimeTree alternative? Nidalumi adds tasks to the shared calendar: each person gets a reminder with a Done button. $35 a year, 5 days free.
The short answer. If you like a shared calendar but tasks still get forgotten, choose Nidalumi. The family calendar sits next to tasks, and each task goes to the person who has to do it — in Telegram or as a phone notification — with Done and Postpone buttons. Kids earn points for chores, and the budget, weekly menu and shopping list come in one price: $35 a year for a family of up to four.
Why families switch from TimeTree to Nidalumi
- Tasks reach the right person. An event in a calendar waits to be seen; a task in Nidalumi comes to the person who has to do it, with Done and Postpone. We didn't find reminders for a specific person with a Done button on TimeTree's official pages.
- Chores with points. Kids earn points and trade them for rewards or pocket money, and chores pass to the next person by themselves. We didn't find chore points on TimeTree's official pages.
- Budget, menu and shopping list in one price. Bills with a reminder before the charge, a weekly menu that fills the shopping list — all for $35 a year. TimeTree is a calendar: its Premium plan adds no ads and dedicated support.
- Keep your calendar. Nidalumi subscribes to an external calendar by link, so school or club events show up next to your family's tasks.
- Add tasks the way you talk. Write “tomorrow 6pm pick up Anna from dance” as a plain sentence or by voice, and Nidalumi sets the time and the person.

How we compared
We looked at each app's official pricing and feature pages and its App Store listing on 3 October 2026, and noted what the free plan includes, what a whole family pays, who receives reminders, and what's in the paid plan only. Where a feature wasn't mentioned on official pages, we wrote “not found” rather than guessing. Prices are in US dollars and may differ by country.
