In most houses one person is quietly holding the whole week in their head. Who has practice Thursday, what's for dinner, whether anybody remembered the vet.
homeroom puts it somewhere everyone can see, so it stops being one person's job to remember.
THE WHOLE WEEK, OR JUST TODAY
All seven days at once when you want to see what's coming, and just today when that's all you can face. Everyone gets their own colour, so you can tell whose week is full and whose isn't without reading a word. The dog gets one too.
PUT IT ON THE KITCHEN COUNTER
Stand an iPad up where people walk past and the week is simply there. Today's plan, tonight's dinner, what nobody has picked up yet. It turns out most of the asking stops once everyone can see the answer.
WHO SAID THEY'D DO IT
Anybody can claim an event, and everybody can see what's still unclaimed. Thursday at 4:15 stops being a thing you have to chase and starts being a thing somebody's name is on.
DINNER, DECIDED
Plan the week's meals, keep the ones you come back to, and turn them into the shopping list. The list is shared, so whoever passes a shop first can pick it up.
CHORES THAT START TODAY
Set one to repeat daily, weekly, every two weeks or once a month, and it begins the day you set it up. Everyone has their own list, and nobody has to be reminded by a person.
THE THINGS THAT QUIETLY RUN A HOUSE
Cleaners, grocery deliveries, the standing nail appointment, the vet. All the recurring arrangements nobody writes down, in the same place as everything else.
THE SMALL WINS
A first lap swum. A hard week got through. Post it and the rest of the house can cheer it, and it goes up on the kitchen display where people will see it.
YOUR PHONE, WHEN IT HELPS
A note in the morning with what today holds. A nudge at lunchtime if something's still waiting. A buzz when somebody posts a win. You pick the times and when your phone goes quiet, and those are yours, not the household's.
ON YOUR HOME SCREEN
A widget with today on it, so you don't have to open anything to know what's happening.
IN THE CALENDAR YOU ALREADY USE
Subscribe to your household's calendar from the Calendar app on your iPhone, iPad or Mac, and the week comes with you.
FOR WHOEVER IS WATCHING THE KIDS
One page with the day's schedule, the house rules, and who to call. Open it on a phone or print it for the fridge.
IF YOU'RE A STUDENT
There's an edition built around classes, deadlines and where your week actually goes. Choose it the first time you open the app.
WHAT IT COSTS
Seven days free to start, no card needed. After that, one subscription covers everybody in the house, however many of you there are, on every device you own. Cancel whenever you like.
Subscriptions are managed on our website and renew automatically at the same rate until you cancel. Your subscription runs to the end of the period you have paid for.
