three things, then it is running

how it works.

  1. put up a tablet you already own

    An old iPad or an Android tablet on the kitchen wall, in landscape. Anything with a web browser and a touchscreen becomes the family's planner, so there is no screen to buy from us and nothing to lease. Dedicated iPad and iPhone apps follow shortly after launch, with Android soon after.

  2. connect the calendars you already use

    Google Calendar in one click, Apple iCloud with a guided setup that explains every step. Everyone's week lands in one view.

  3. let the week run itself

    Chores, dinners, lists and stars, all on the same screen. Everybody can see what is happening, so nobody has to be told twice.

a look at it

what the family sees.

Drawn to show the layout. Big, calm and readable from the other side of the kitchen.

the week Everyone's week side by side, colour-coded per person and readable from across the kitchen. Synced from a Google or iCloud calendar — or from neither, if you would rather keep it here.
jobs and stars Chores for the day, stars for doing them, and a savings goal filling up. Optional mini-game immediate rewards.
dinners The week's dinners planned once, then turned into a shopping list in a tap. Twenty family dinners are there from day one, and you can add your own or clear ours out.
lists Shopping lists with big checkboxes, so anyone can tick things off from the aisle.

less organising. more living.

the whole week,
in one place.

Built for a landscape wall tablet first, and responsive enough to use from a phone when you are out.

your family's own encryption key

Household content encrypted with a key unique to your family and stored in Australia. Destroying that key makes the encrypted content unreadable.

one screen for the whole family

Everyone's day side by side, colour-coded per person, readable from across the kitchen. Big touch targets, because this gets used with floury hands.

Google Calendar and Apple iCloud

Sync both ways on wall and phone. Connect Google in one click; follow guided iCloud setup with an app-specific password. Day, week and month views, plus ICS feeds.

to-dos everyone can share

Drag-and-drop boards, shared assignments, due dates and recurring tasks. Stars for completed to-dos are optional and off by default.

chores worth doing

Assign chores to one child or several, with optional parent approval. Kids earn stars, build streaks, claim one-off bounty jobs and save towards a goal they picked themselves.

two mini-games to earn

A parent approving a chore banks a game credit. Children see and claim their credits on their own device for two short, single-life mini-games.

dinner, decided

A weekly dinner planner and recipe box with steps, servings and metric quantities. Start with 20 Australian family dinners and add recipe ingredients to the shopping list.

lists anyone can tick

Shopping lists with checkboxes big enough for a seven-year-old to hit on the way past.

a photo frame when nobody's looking

Upload family photos for an idle slideshow with clock, weather and upcoming events. It locks the session and wakes to the profile picker.

profiles, and an optional parent PIN

Tap a face to switch. Children get a personalised Today screen and individual permissions. An optional parent PIN protects grown-up controls.

notifications on the go

Push notifications on Android and desktop, and on iPhone once you add tend & tally to your Home Screen.

two-factor account protection

Account sign-in requires a password and a time-based code from an authenticator app. Email verification and password reset are included.

a family planner
you can trust with
the family.

  • your family's own key

    Household content is encrypted with a key unique to your family.

  • kept in Australia

    The database, the photos and the backups stay here. Backups are not copied to another country.

  • nothing sold, nothing tracked

    No advertising in the product, and we never pass your information to anybody for their own marketing.

    Parent settings sit behind a PIN, and every child has their own permission switches.

before you ask

the usual questions.

What sort of tablet do I need?

Any iPad or Android tablet from the last few years, stood up or mounted in landscape. tend & tally runs in the tablet's web browser, so there is nothing to side-load, and it works on a phone or a computer too.

Does everybody need their own subscription?

No. One price covers the whole household — both parents, every child and every screen. Each person gets their own profile on the wall tablet, with their own colour.

Which calendars does it sync with?

Google Calendar and Apple iCloud, both ways. Change something on the wall and it reaches the phone; change it on the phone and it reaches the wall. You can also subscribe to the family calendar from anything that reads an ICS feed.

Where is our family's information kept?

In Australia. Your household content is encrypted with a key unique to your family, and the backups are not copied to another country. We do not sell your information and there is no advertising anywhere in the product.

Can the children change things they should not?

Only what you let them. Parent settings sit behind a PIN, and each child has their own permission switches. Chores can need a grown-up's approval before the stars are paid.

Will it tell me when something changes?

Yes — tend & tally can send notifications on Android, on desktop, and on iPhone once you add it to the Home Screen. Apple only allows web notifications to a home-screened site, so that one step is yours to do.

a little less to keep in your head

make room for family.

A shared place for the week, on a tablet you already own.

For families in Australia and New Zealand.

We use your address to tell you when the planner opens, and to send news about it now and then. Nothing else, and never to anybody for their own marketing. The list runs on Kit, which holds the address in the United States. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can ask us to delete the address at any time — see the waitlist section of our privacy policy.
