## What is Homebase?

Homebase is the one place your family actually uses — a shared calendar, a running to-do list, a family shopping list, and a private feed for photos and updates, all in one simple app.

No more juggling five different apps (or forgetting who was supposed to pick up milk). Homebase keeps everyone on the same page, automatically.

WHAT YOU GET
• Shared Calendar — one calendar for the whole family, color-coded by person, with birthdays and anniversaries tracked automatically
• Tasks & Chores — assign to-dos to specific family members and watch them actually get done
• Shopping Lists — add items on the go, everyone sees the same list in real time
• Family Feed — share photos and updates just with the people who matter, not the whole internet
• Resources — keep important documents, links, and info everyone needs in one place
• Trending Events — discover real local events near you (or wherever you're traveling) and add them to your calendar in one tap
• Meal Planning — plan the week's dinners without the group text

Once your family's set up, follow the families you're closest to — grandparents, in-laws, your best friends — and see their calendar updates and shared moments right alongside your own, without living in each other's business.

Homebase is private by design. Your family's calendar, tasks, and photos are visible only to your family and the people you choose to connect with — never public, never sold.

Download Homebase and get your family organized in under a minute.
