Not just another app, a different kind of app.

We know the best part of family don't happen to be on your to do lists.

They happen in the small moments. The slow Saturday morning. The walk home from school where your kid tells you something real. The evening where nobody is checking their phone because everything that needed to happen already did.

Dona exists so those moments get more room. Not by adding another thing to manage, but by giving your family one calm place to hold everything that needs to happen, so the people in your household can spend less time coordinating and more time together.

Our story

Dona started with a simple question: what if the whole family could see what's going on, without one person having to hold it all in their head? I'm Nick, I'm a product designer in Montreal, and with my partner, we're building Dona because we wanted our household to run more smoothly, together. Not through more reminders or better checklists, but through one shared place where everyone knows what's happening. The more families we talked to, the more we heard the same thing: "I just want everyone to be on the same page." That became the heart of Dona.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Taking the weight off running everything

Is Dona free?

Yes, and it will always be! We know finances can be tough with a whole family, the free tier includes the core features you need to run your household. Paid plans will be available for families who want more.

Does everyone in my family need to download the app?

No. The person who sets things up downloads the app. Other family members can use the app too, or they can stay in the loop through text messages. Dona is designed to work either way.

Is this just another shared calendar?

No. Dona combines your calendar, to-dos, grocery lists, in one place. The point isn't more tools. It's fewer places to check.

What about kids? Can they use it?

Yes, kids can join in too! If they’re old enough to have their own login (based on local rules), they can use Dona directly. Otherwise, they can still be part of the family, with their schedules showing up on the calendar, no account needed.
