Maple, the family organizer app, is shutting down. Its farewell page says Maple was acquired by Wander and will close on December 31, 2026. After that, Maple deletes all data, and it can't be recovered.
If your family's week lives in Maple, move it before December 31.
What Maple says will happen
Closing date: December 31, 2026.
Your data: You can still reach it until Maple closes. Maple suggests moving it out before then. After that, it's deleted and can't be recovered.
Connected calendars: Maple's connections to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, and TeamSnap are deleted too.
Maple+ plans: Annual plans won't renew. Monthly plans end when Maple leaves the app stores.
Maple's page doesn't list steps for exporting. Details can change, so check Maple's farewell page for the latest.
What to save before December 31
Every recurring activity. Day, time, place, and who goes. Swim on Tuesdays, piano on Thursdays, your own Wednesday pottery class.
Upcoming registration dates. Spring sign-ups for some leagues and camps open in the winter. These dates are easy to lose in a move. (How to catch every registration window.)
Costs. What each activity costs and when payments are due.
Forms and files. Waivers, medical forms, and team schedules. Save copies to your phone or cloud drive.
Calendar connections. If Maple showed events from Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, or TeamSnap, open each of those apps and confirm your events are there.
A screenshot of each week in Maple is a simple backup while you decide what's next.
Where Cadence fits
Cadence is a private family activity hub for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Android. Each activity keeps its schedule, registration window, cost, forms, and reminders together. It works for the whole family, from the kids' practices to your own classes. (What a calendar can't tell you.)
For families coming from Maple, these parts may matter most:
Registration reminders. Add the date sign-ups open and the link. Cadence reminds you and shows when you're registered or overdue.
Costs by person and by year. See what each activity cost each person this year.
Forms with the activity. The waiver stays with the activity it belongs to.
Carpools. On iPhone, mark who's driving on each date. On Android, carpool days get a badge.
A weekly PDF. On iPhone, the Weekly Summary turns the week into a PDF you can send to Grandma or the sitter. (Sharing the week.)
Apple Calendar. On iPhone, Cadence can add your activities to a separate calendar in Apple Calendar.
Your data, your devices. No Cadence account and no tracking. Your data lives on your devices and syncs through your own iCloud or Google Drive. Cadence doesn't run servers that hold it. On iPhone, Download My Data saves a full backup file you keep.
What Cadence doesn't do
Cadence is built for activities. It doesn't have meal planning, grocery lists, an email inbox, or general to-do lists. If your family used Maple for those, you'll want a separate app for them.
There's no import from Maple. You'll add your activities by hand, starting with the recurring ones and the next few registration dates.
Sharing works on one platform at a time. An iPhone household shares through iCloud, and an Android household shares through Google Drive. A household split between iPhone and Android can't share one Cadence schedule.
Try it before Maple closes
Cadence is free for 14 days, then $6.99 a month or $59.99 a year. Starting now gives you time to set up your activities and try two real weeks before December 31.
Download Cadence on the App Store or get it on Google Play.
Start with the one activity your family can't miss, and move that one first.
