HomeInbox

Unload a household worry in one line, clarify it with your family into a clear task, and let it land with an owner — a task counts as handled only when they accept it.

Core Experience

Not another family calendar — a tray that catches the worry in your head

Designed around unload, clarify, and explicit acceptance. No account, no network dependency, and no contribution scores or behavior monitoring.

Unload in One Line

Type the thought even when it is vague or offline. The inbox is allowed to be loose and unformed.

Clarify Together

Turn "something needs handling" into a clear, doable item, with a missing deadline flagged clearly.

Ownership That Sticks

Accept, decline, hand back, or talk it over — every state change is recorded and nothing silently disappears.

Today Lanes

See exactly what you accepted and what your family is waiting on, with done and pending separated.

Weekly Review

Surface unclaimed items and conversations still needed — facts and next steps, never a contribution ranking.

Local First

All data stays on this device: no account, no tracking, no uploads, and no system permissions requested in the current version.

Who It Is For

The household member who carries everything in their head

Especially for partners and parents who are always the ones remembering: unload the mental list, then talk responsibilities through face to face.

What if a family member declines?

The item moves to a needs-conversation state where you can talk, reassign, or take it back — it never silently disappears.

Is my data private?

By default items stay on this device. They are visible to others only when you explicitly choose to share them.

Does everyone need the app?

No. The current version completes the ownership flow with local household profiles on this device, without cloud invites.

Is it for monitoring a partner?

No. It is not a monitoring or scoring tool; it supports household coordination everyone agrees to.

FAQ

Ownership, privacy, and boundaries

Are items shared automatically?

No. Items stay private by default and are shared only when you choose members or the household.

Does it sync across devices?

No. The current version keeps all data on this device and does not use cloud sync.

Do I need an account?

No. V1 runs fully locally — no account, no analytics, no ads, and it works offline for capture, clarification, and completion.

What does a teen profile see?

Only items explicitly shared with or assigned to that profile. Everything else stays hidden.
