About Carpoolio: Carpool Scheduler
Group texts are where carpool plans go to die. "Can someone take Tommy Thursday?" Twelve messages later, someone asks about the new coffee shop, and Tommy is still stranded at practice. Carpoolio is the carpool app that fixes the chaos. Whether you need a school carpool organizer for morning drop-offs, a sports carpool for weekly practices, or just a way to split rides fairly — Carpoolio eliminates the daily "who's driving?" panic. Meet Otto, your carpool assistant. Otto lives inside the app to auto-assign driving rotations fairly, manage calendar chaos, and handle pretty much anything you can think of — so you never have to be the parent sending five reminder texts in a row. WHY PARENTS (AND OUR SANITY) LOVE CARPOOLIO: • Meet Otto Otto doesn't panic, and he doesn't do group chat drama. Tell Otto what you need and he handles the rest: building carpools from scratch, adding or removing drivers, auto-assigning rides fairly, messaging the group, and rearranging schedules when life happens. You sit back; Otto does the work. • Instant School Calendar Import Stop digging through your email or junk drawer for that crumpled district PDF. Import your school calendar once and Carpoolio automatically builds your carpool schedule while filtering out teacher workdays, holidays, and random half-days. No more showing up on days off looking like a confused tourist. • TeamSnap, GameChanger, Apple Calendar & Google Calendar Sync Sports season shouldn't require a logistics degree. Sync your TeamSnap or calendars to instantly generate ride rotations for practices, away games, and tournaments. Your sports carpool runs itself. • Live Driver Tracking & Status Know when the ride is actually on the way and when your kid is dropped off. No more sitting in pickup lines or pacing by the door wondering if practice ended early. • Child Profiles & Rosters "Who's picking me up?" "When are we leaving?" "Is Jackson coming?" Give kids their own ride schedule. They can see who's driving without asking you forty times. • Real-Time Notifications Get updates when the ride is on the way, when your child is picked up, and when they're dropped off. So when you're mid-presentation, you already saw the notification — which means you can keep talking like someone who has their life together. • Fair Rotations, Zero Guilt Auto-assign driving rotations evenly among families. When a conflict pops up, swap days with a tap — Otto updates the entire group instantly. PERFECT FOR: School carpools — morning drop-offs and afternoon pickup lines Youth sports teams (Soccer, Football, Baseball, Basketball, Hockey, Cheer, Track, Dance, Lacrosse, Swimming, Volleyball, Field Hockey) After-school clubs, scouts, band, tutoring, and rehearsals Neighborhood & family ride-sharing groups Recurring family appointments and care routines for loved ones or aging parents Delete the 47-person group chat. Get your 85 hours back. Download Carpoolio and let Otto run your carpools on autopilot.

What’s new
Version 1.2.18 · Updated October 15, 2026
• Straight to the chat. Tapping a chat notification now opens that carpool's Chat tab, so with several carpools you land in the right conversation instead of on Home. • Extra events in one step. Ask Otto for something like "an extra 7:10 drop-off every Tuesday and Thursday" and it sets up all the dates with one confirmation, alongside your regular events. • Fixes: a wrong password now says "Incorrect email or password" instead of "Please sign in to continue"; Otto can add an extra event on a day that already has one; the yearly plan shows its real savings versus monthly.
