Five things that happen in every home, and how CalendBoard takes them on.
1. The family morning
The pain: someone asks "who is on pickup today?", someone else remembers there is a class at four, and the answer lives with one parent only. By the time you find out, you are already late.
One shared board for the whole household. Whatever is added from a phone shows up for everyone that same second
Every event has an owner, a time and a place, so nobody has to ask who is taking whom
Reminders that arrive on time, for everyone involved and not only for whoever added the event
Day, week and month views, whichever way you like to look at it
Already living in Google Calendar? Connect it, and your events keep showing up there too
2. The kids' own space
The pain: kids do not really know what is expected of them, parents repeat themselves a fifth time, and everyone gets frustrated over the same thing every evening.
Every child gets a space of their own: their photo, the color they chose, and only their tasks
Tasks built from big, clear symbols, so even a child who cannot read yet understands what to do now
The child marks "I did it" themselves, and can attach a photo of the tidy room
Stars for every task and a reward you define. The child sees exactly how many are left
Longer challenges, for turning a whole habit into something you close out at the end of the week
A parent code: every star goes through you. Children cannot hand themselves points
The pain: a board that lives only inside phones is an invisible board. Nobody opens an app "just to check", so surprises surface at the last minute.
Any home screen you already own becomes the Home Center: the time, what is on today, and what each person needs to do
An always-on display that does not switch off or change, so it can be read in passing
Family photos drift by in the background when nobody is touching it, so the board feels part of the home
Today's weather, so the argument about the coat ends faster
Quiet nights: the board dims itself during sleeping hours
4. The Hebrew calendar
The pain: family apps from abroad translate the interface into Hebrew and stop there. Our week ends on Friday, not Sunday, and our holidays do not exist in a calendar built for an American family.
The Hebrew date next to the civil one, everywhere a date appears
The weekly Torah portion
Shabbat and holiday candle-lighting and havdalah times, calculated for the city you choose
Israeli holidays and observances built into the calendar, with nothing to add by hand each year
Real right-to-left Hebrew, not a translated foreign product. Full English is there too
5. Everyone on the same page
The pain: an average household involves more than the parents: a grandmother who does Tuesday pickups, a caregiver, sometimes a parent living in another home. Each of them gets the information through a different channel, and nobody sees the whole picture.
Invite the household with a short family code, without creating an account for each person
Separate groups for what is not everyone's business: daycare, classes, rotations, caregivers
Whoever is invited sees exactly what is relevant to them, and not the whole household
Updates on what changed, so you never discover a change by accident
Privacy enforced on the server and not in the display: another family cannot reach your data in any way
And what is coming
We keep building, and the families joining now are the ones deciding what CalendBoard builds first. Everything on this page exists in the app today.
Questions we get
Do we need to buy a special device?
No. You install the app on your phones, and any home screen you already have becomes your Home Center. Later we will launch a dedicated device that arrives ready to go.
Can we use only part of it?
Yes. Start with events alone, and add tasks and the kids' space whenever you feel like it. Nothing is mandatory.
Is it complicated to set up?
Create a family, share a short code with the household, and that is it. There are no settings you must go through to make it work.
Want to try it?
The CalendBoard pilot opens soon and signups are already open. The first families get a full year free on the app, and their feedback goes straight into what we build.
