With Picniic, users have access to a shared family calendar, as well as shared to-do lists, shared notes and shared lists (like grocery lists, for instance). Users can assign tasks and events to other family members as needed.

Picniic includes a Family News section, which allows users to share messages and photos with their family members, as well as view alerts when new lists and other items have been created.
Elsewhere, a recipe tool allows users to search for recipes from Jamie Oliver, Martha Stewart, Food Network and other sources.

These features include a meal planner, a family locator, a group event planning feature and an information locker for storing important family information (like medical information or emergency contact numbers).
