Turnabout: School Carpool

School carpools run on goodwill and a group chat, until someone forgets whose turn it is. Turnabout is the carpool app that keeps the schedule for every family: who drives each trip, fair turns all year, swaps with a yes or no, and a reminder the night before you drive.

WHOSE TURN, AT A GLANCE
Open the app and see today's trips: the morning drop-off and afternoon pickup, which family drives each one, and which kids ride. Every parent sees the same thing on their own phone.

TURNS THAT STAY FAIR
Choose how the families take turns: the next family each school day, the same weekdays every week, or a whole week each. Start the afternoon rotation one family later, so nobody drives both ends of the same day. A running count of trips shows it all evens out.

DAYS OFF NEVER COST A TURN
Mark holidays, teacher work days and breaks. With turns by school day, the rotation simply carries on after the day off, so the same family never loses every Monday holiday.

SWAPS WITH A YES OR NO
Dentist appointment? Tap your trip and ask the whole carpool, or one family. The trip stays yours until someone says yes, then everyone sees who drives instead. No more lost messages in the group chat.

WHERE'S THE CAR?
The driver taps "I'm on my way", "Everyone picked up" and "Dropped off", and the other parents see it live. Turnabout never uses your location.

KIDS NOT RIDING
Mark a sick kid as not riding for a trip, so the driver doesn't wait at the door.

REMINDERS
Get a reminder the evening before your turn, and again half an hour before you leave, with the names of the kids to pick up.

BRING IN EVERY FAMILY
Set up the carpool, then share a six-letter code. Each parent joins and picks their family. Up to eight families and sixteen parents.

FREE, NO ACCOUNT
Every feature is free for every family, supported by ads. No account, no email, no password.
