Use the screens you already own
If you already have an iPad, it can be the counter display: start Shared Display, choose what the room sees, and planning controls hide until you exit. With an Apple TV, the day’s plan shows on the living room screen and you can mark things done with the Siri Remote.
- Start with compatible hardware you already own.
- Private and adults-only events never appear on shared screens.
- Family content is encrypted on your device before upload.
A family dashboard you can start today
Family Flight Plan’s free plan includes a paired iPad display, one Apple TV, the shared calendar, chores, routines and meals. Add the next appointment and dinner from your phone, then follow the iPad setup guide or Apple TV setup guide to put the day in view.
Choose upgrades around your household
Start free with the essentials, then add Plus when you want calendar import, weather, premium themes or additional displays. One Plus plan covers the household. Our app or dedicated display guide explains how to build a family dashboard with your existing Apple devices and shows the costs and features side by side.
