Your Home One household

The family board, on the kitchen wall.

An always-on screen that shows what the house owes today, a phone app for the people who run it, and a read-only link for whoever is minding the place tonight. One model behind all three.

The board as it looks from across the kitchen. Names and jobs here are invented.

Three surfaces

The board

Always on, never typed into

A docked tablet in the kitchen, read from across the room and tapped in passing. It has no keyboard and no settings of its own — everything about it is configured from a phone, and it pairs by typing a short code that rotates.

The phones

Today, Plan, History, Manage

Native iOS and Android. Today is the day; Plan is the week ahead; History is what actually happened. Manage sits behind Face ID and runs both the household and the board. It works with no signal and sends what it was holding when the signal comes back.

The link

For whoever has the house

A grandparent or a sitter gets a plain web page showing what is due — no app, no account, no sign-in form. Names are hidden and private items never leave the server. Turning the link off ends it immediately, and anyone holding the old address reads one sentence.

What it keeps track of

Routines and duties

Routines are the jobs that recur. Duties are who carries a responsibility this week, on a schedule, with dated overrides for the weeks that are not normal — including nobody, which is a real answer and not a gap.

Term dates and holidays

Bank holidays sync from GOV.UK. Term dates are typed in by hand, because they are set by some 150 local authorities and nobody publishes them in a form worth trusting. The calendar suggests the shape of a day; it never switches it behind your back.

Reminders that land somewhere

A notification opens the exact item on the exact day — a job from 21:00 tapped at half past midnight opens yesterday, not today. Nothing destructive ever happens from tapping a link.

The day as a line

A second board view lays the day out end to end with a marker on now, so what is left is something you see rather than something you count.

What was missed, and what is stuck

History records what was done, what was skipped and what was missed. An activity log shows what any phone is still holding offline, which is the honest answer to "I did tick it".

Why it looks like this

A calm board is information

An empty board has to mean nothing is owed. That only works if a calm board is never accidental — so most of the design is spent making sure it cannot lie.

A stale board says so

If the screen stops hearing from the server it drops its colour and strikes through its own clock. A frozen board must never be mistakable for a quiet one.

Only late is red

One colour carries overdue, missed, and anything destructive. A job that is merely due later today is never red, so red keeps meaning something.

It sleeps at night

During quiet hours the whole screen goes dark and shows the time and the next thing due. A kitchen at 2am does not need a task list glowing at it.

Private by construction

One household

This is not a service with accounts. There is nothing here to sign up for, and this page is the whole of the public site.

The server redacts, not the client

Anything sent to a shared link is stripped before it leaves the server — names replaced, private items dropped. No app or page is trusted to hide something it was given.

Assistants are output devices

Google, Gemini and Home Assistant can be told things. None of them is ever a source of truth about what the household owes.

Open the app on your phone — there is no web version to sign in to. If someone shared the board with you, open the exact link they sent you; it cannot be found from this page.
