What's New in Lightstead
1.17.1
October 5, 2026
Add your whole family in one step — kids and your co-parent now live on one setup screen, with each child's photo and colour chosen before they exist. A photo on every chore, so a child who cannot read yet can still find their own. Set the exact time a chore is due, not just the part of the day. Removing an event from a synced calendar now asks first, before it also leaves Google Calendar.
