Homestead's kiosk board mounted on a kitchen wall, showing the week's agenda, tonight's dinner and everyone's chores

The board, running in kiosk mode on a wall-mounted iPad.

The week

Everything the fridge whiteboard was trying to do.

One day at a time: who has what, what's for dinner, and which chores belong to whom. Plan the meals and the grocery list builds itself.

Pick a day.

Agenda
Chores
Dinner

Six things, all in one place.

Features
01

Chores

Assigned per person, set to repeat, easy to check off. No red badges nagging anyone.

02

Shared calendar

Everyone in the household sees it and can edit it. No more guessing whose day it is — colour-coded per calendar with Pro.

03

Meal planning

Plan the week and the grocery list builds itself, then goes straight to Reminders. Import recipes from the web.

04

Weather at a glance

Current conditions on the board, the full five-day forecast in your pocket.

05

Timers

Pasta, homework, screen time. Start it from the kitchen, see it on the board.

06

Photo slideshow

When the day winds down, the board dims and drifts through family photos.

On the wall

Built for the wall, not just the pocket.

Mount an old iPad in the kitchen and it becomes the household's day at a glance: agenda, chores and conditions, always on.

Our whiteboard was three colours of marker and always a week behind, so I built Homestead.

I'm TJ — I live in Maryland, I work in corporate IT, and I build these apps at night and on weekends. Homestead is one of five that hold the things you'd rather not hold in your head.

Start with tonight's dinner.

Chores, calendar and timers are free for the whole household. Add the wall board when the iPad comes off the shelf.
