Take Mikey out of the carpool next week — grandma's turn.
Done. Mikey's off Monday through Thursday, and the other parents already know. Enjoy grandma's.
An actual thing Otto does. No group text required.
What if carpool coordination just… worked?
Everything below is why Sunday night stopped being schedule night.
Retire the group text
Clean sign-up sheets everyone can see. No one has to ask "wait, who's driving?" ever again.
Otto, on the payroll
An AI assistant who actually does the work — builds carpools, fills drives, adjusts for vacation weeks. He has a clipboard and no social life.
Smarter routes, less driving
Suggested pickup orders save you time and gas. Because you've got better things to do than zigzag across town.
No more guilt trips
Our "Carma Score" tracks who's pulling their weight — so you don't have to be the bad guy. A friendly leaderboard for actually showing up.
An app for the kids too
Kids get their own view of today's ride — who's coming and when. Retires the hourly "when am I getting picked up?" text.
Synced calendars & smart pings
Connect your calendars and get text reminders before it's go-time. Fewer "oh no" moments, more "already on it" energy.

Commute-reduction mandates on your desk?
Air-quality districts and city TDM ordinances — Rule 2202, Bay Area SB 1339, parking
cash-out — ask employers to get people ridesharing. Matching tools stop at
“you two live near each other.” Carpoolio adds the coordination layer that
turns matches into daily carpools you can actually count.
Congratulations — you no longer run a team, a school, or a workplace, you run a logistics company. Whole leagues, entire schools, employee commute programs, hundreds of people, and a group chat that never sleeps. We'll handle the chaos so you can pretend you have it together.
Everything parents ask before ditching the group text.
What is Carpoolio?
Carpoolio is a free carpool app for parents that replaces the group text and spreadsheet with one clean carpool schedule. It shows who's driving, when, and where — for sports practices, school runs, and every kid activity in between.
What exactly does Otto do?
Otto is Carpoolio's built-in AI carpool assistant. Ask him in plain English and he does the work — builds the carpool, signs you up to drive, imports the school calendar, and handles vacations and one-off absences. He'll lend a hand with a task or two for free; the Full Send plan unlocks him completely.
Is Carpoolio free?
Yes. Carpoolio is free to download and use on iOS and Android — coordinating rides, sign-up sheets, and reminders cost nothing. The optional Full Send plan ($2.92/mo billed annually) adds Otto fully unlocked, live trip tracking, the AI Schedule Generator, TeamSnap & GameChanger integrations, calendar sync, and unlimited carpools.
How does the carpool organizer work?
Create a carpool, add your kids and activities, and invite the other parents. Everyone claims the days they can drive and the app tracks the whole carpool schedule automatically — no more decoding 47 texts to find out who has Tuesday.
Can Carpoolio build my carpool schedule for me?
Yes. On the Full Send plan, the AI Schedule Generator builds your entire driving schedule automatically — you just type in when each parent can and can't drive, and it maps the rest around every constraint.
Does Carpoolio work for sports team carpools?
Absolutely. Carpoolio is built for sports carpools and school carpools alike — import your practice schedule from TeamSnap, coordinate drives, and send a one-tap SOS when your day falls apart.
Does Carpoolio work for school carpools?
Yes. Carpoolio is built for school drop-off and pickup carpools — coordinate the morning run, after-school pickup, and even weird half days on one clean schedule. It also handles sports team carpools, so multi-activity families keep everything in one app.
What if I can't drive at the last minute?
Send a one-tap SOS and another parent in the carpool can pick up the drive. Everyone sees the updated schedule instantly, plus live tracking so you know your kid was picked up and dropped off.
