Home

Everything a family needs to keep its life organized, in one place. The calendar, the lists, chores, homework, allowances and the house, on every phone. And on the wall: any iPad or smart screen becomes the family dashboard.

The family dashboard, on the kitchen wall
Family · The wall

Any iPad or smart screen becomes the family board

Open it on the screen, type the code your phone shows you, and it stays on. The time and the weather over your photos, what is on today, each kid’s homework and chores, and the family’s lists, all big enough to read from across the kitchen. It runs in the web browser, so there is nothing to install.

  • Your family’s Google calendars in one place, with the next seven days a tap away
  • Lists anyone can add to: on the wall, on a phone, or by asking Siri
  • A chore ticked on the wall still waits for a grown-up to say yes
  • Never signed in to anything, and switched off from your phone if it ever goes missing

Kids · Money

A real allowance and a pretend bank

Allowance arrives every week on its own. Interest grows what isn’t spent. The cash in a pocket counts too, and the only way it earns interest is to hand it to a grown-up.

  • All their money up front: the bank plus cash on hand
  • A goal, with a few friendly ideas for how to get there sooner
  • Where the money went, and how long the goal will take at this rate
  • Parents see both kids side by side and can fix a mistyped entry

Kids · Chores

Tick it off; a grown-up says yes

The week’s chores on one grid, a box for each day. A tick is waiting until a parent approves it, and the allowance grows the moment they do.

  • Up to $5 a week, scaled by how much of the week got done
  • One Approvals inbox for chores, homework, workouts and cash handed over
  • Parents add, rename and remove chores; nothing rotates on its own
  • A push to the parents when something is waiting, and to the kid when it’s approved

Kids · Homework

Homework, straight from the teacher’s files

Paste the link to the class sheet or doc once. The week’s homework appears on each kid’s own list, with its due days, and is re-read through the day.

  • No school account, no key, no stored secret: it reads what anyone with the link can download
  • A teacher who emails instead? Forward it to homework@in.dfive.us
  • Kids tick, parents approve; the importer changes the list and never touches a tick
  • Parents see both kids and who has finished what

Parents · House

Forward anything about the house and it files itself

Quotes, invoices, receipts, the closing paperwork, a contractor’s reply halfway through a negotiation: email it to home@in.dfive.us, or cc the address on a message you’re sending anyway. It is read into the right house, the right job and the right vendor, and a reply says where it went.

  • Jobs with their quotes side by side, what each includes, and a reminder before one expires
  • Vendors, what was paid, and what each house cost this year
  • A paperwork checklist per house that ticks itself as documents arrive
  • Everything kept whole, encrypted with the family’s key; it asks only when it must
