Any.do Family is a productivity-app extension: the same to-do and calendar engine that made Any.do popular, now shared across a family. It’s excellent at tasks and weak at everything else a household needs.
If you already live in Any.do and want to share a few lists with a partner, it’s a reasonable entry point. If you want chores, rewards, meal planning, or kid engagement, it’s the wrong tool.
