FAQ
Where Homie is today, what it does when the signal drops, and what happens to what you type.
Not from a store yet. Homie is in a small, invite-only alpha on iPhone and Android, so there’s no App Store or Google Play download. If you’d like in, request an invite and we’ll be in touch.
Yes. Homie runs on Android too, in the same small, invite-only alpha as iPhone. It’s a little newer on Android, so if you’d like in, email us and we’ll send you an install link.
Yes. Homie works offline first. Your phone holds the schedule, so you can add and check plans on the subway or at a field with no signal.
Dictation is turned into text right on your phone, and there’s a built-in fallback for reading plans, so capture keeps working with no connection at all. When you’re back online, your changes sync to the family’s other phones in seconds.
Only the words you typed or dictated for that one plan. They go out to be understood and come right back as a plan you can use. Nothing is stored, and nothing is used to train anything.
It’s also optional. Homie works fine without AI at all. Smarter capture just helps it read your messier notes. Leave it off and nothing leaves your phone.
You invite the people who help run your week. The other parent, grandparents, the nanny, your kids. Then you choose what each one can see and do. Some accounts just see the schedule. Others can add plans for you to review.
Kids can’t sign up on their own. A child’s account exists only because a parent created the invite.
No. You decide each person’s access. A view-only account can’t change anything from any phone, and that’s enforced where the plans are stored. It isn’t just hidden in the app. Maya can see that she has soccer. She can’t move it or delete her brother’s dentist appointment.
A parent who runs his own family on it every day. It started as a way to lift the mental load in one busy household, and it’s shared now in the hope it helps yours too. Questions go straight to a real person: homie.family@protonmail.com.
