Weekend planner
A weekend planner that starts with how long you’re free.
Most trip tools ask where you want to go. Parents already know the harder constraint: how long you’re free this weekend. Lark is a family weekend planner built around that clock.
You pick a duration (weekend, long weekend, a few days off), a theme (family fun, rainy-day rescue, budget outings), and a few facts about the crew — parent count, kids’ ages, max drive, budget, energy. Lark returns a day-by-day itinerary with real places, buffers, and Plan B swaps.
Then you actually use it. Email the plan (free). Share a link. Print it for the glove box. Family subscribers can text it to a phone so Saturday doesn’t live in a browser tab.
Who this weekend planner is for
Moms and dads with kids roughly 0–12 who are tired of rebuilding the same Saturday from scratch. Couples who need one plan both adults can follow. Anyone who has Friday–Sunday and does not want another spreadsheet.
How a Lark weekend is planned
- How long are you free?
- Theme + crew (ages, drive, budget, energy).
- Use the itinerary — email, share, print, or text on Family.

Weekend planner FAQs
What is a weekend planner?
A weekend planner turns the time you actually have — Friday night through Sunday — into a usable itinerary. Lark builds that plan around your kids’ ages, drive time, budget, and energy, with Plan B when the day shifts.
Is Lark a free weekend planner?
Yes. Free includes a full itinerary, email, a share link, and print. Family ($9.99/mo) texts the plan to your phone.
How is this different from ChatGPT or a list of parks?
Chat and “top 10” lists dump ideas. A weekend planner sequences the day: start times, buffers for kids, meals, and a swap if it rains. Lark outputs one plan the other parent can follow without installing an app.
