# Carpool-Q

> Carpool-Q is a real-time school carpool coordination app for parents. It replaces group texts and spreadsheets with a shared weekly schedule where every family sees who is driving, when, and for which kids. Drivers and passengers are organized per carpool, schedules update live across all members, and conflicts are prevented through distributed locking. Plans start at $1.99/month with a 14-day free trial. Available as a progressive web app on iOS and Android.
