Both parents' work calendars, every practice and every appointment, in one place and colored by person. Plus chores the kids actually do.

## Everything the family needs to know, in one place.

- **Everyone's schedule, colored by person.** Each family member gets a color and a photo. See whose day is busy without opening a single event.
- **School and team calendars, added once.** Paste the school's calendar link, or forward its calendar email. Changes from the school show up on their own.
- **Work calendars, without the details.** Share every work calendar with the family as Busy, in one link. Meeting titles stay at work, where they belong.
- **Chores with stars and rewards.** Give each child chore cards for today, every day, or chosen weekdays. Checking one off earns stars toward rewards you choose.
- **A wall display for the kitchen.** An Android tablet shows the week, each child's chores, and a photo slideshow when nobody's using it.
- **Invite your partner and family.** Invite adults to your household. Each person can add their own calendars and choose what they share.

## Kids don't need a login.

Children appear on the wall display with their name, color and photo or emoji. They tap a card to mark it done.

Parents see what was checked off and can undo it from their phone. Only parents can mark a reward as redeemed.

## You decide what goes on the wall.

Pick which calendars appear on the display, and whose they are. "Soccer" belongs to Emma. Dad's work calendar stays off the wall.

The tablet gets its own key, not a parent's login. It can read the wall calendars, the chores and the photos. It can't change settings, see other calendars, or invite anyone.

## Questions

### Do my kids need a phone or an account?

No. Kids use the wall display and don't need a login. Parents set everything up from their phone or the web.

### What tablet do I need for the wall display?

An Android tablet. Install Braid, choose "Use as a wall display", and pair it with the code it shows.

### Can I undo a chore a child checked off by mistake?

Yes. Parents see this week's check-offs and can undo any of them. Undoing a check-off takes its stars back.

### Can I keep some calendars off the wall?

Yes. You choose exactly which calendars appear on the display.

### What happens if the tablet is lost?

Remove it from your account and it stops working right away.
