The group chat problem
Sound familiar?
Whose turn is it?
No one checked the spreadsheet. Someone shows up. Someone doesn't.
Meeting at 3pm. Pickup at 3:10.
You're either leaving early or hoping someone covers. Again.
A calmer way to coordinate
Carpoolio is the carpool organizer parents have been asking for
Whether you need a school carpool app for morning drop-offs, a sports carpool app for tournament weekends, or just a fair way to split the driving — Carpoolio runs the logistics so you don't have to.
Your logistics co-parent
Meet Otto, your carpool assistant
Otto lives inside the app. Tell him what you need — he builds rotations, handles swaps, messages the group, and syncs to everyone's calendar. You don't manage the carpool anymore. Otto does.

Questions parents ask
Is there a free carpool app for parents?
Yes. Carpoolio is free to download. The free plan lets you build a carpool group and manage basic rotations. Full Send adds Otto, live tracking, and calendar sync for $2.92/month when billed annually ($34.99/year), or $6.99/month.
Does it work for both school and sports carpools?
Yes. Carpoolio handles school morning drop-offs and afternoon pickups, and syncs with TeamSnap and GameChanger for sports schedules. You can run multiple carpool groups at once — one for school, one for the team.
How is Carpoolio different from a group chat?
Group chats bury the plan in conversation. Carpoolio keeps the schedule, driver assignments, and notifications separate from chat — so nothing gets missed.
Does it work for iPhone and Android?
Yes! Carpoolio is available on both iOS and Android. Download it free from the App Store or Google Play.
Delete the group chat. Let Otto run the carpool.
