Who has to be where? Who’s driving? Does this even fit our week? Six things Homie does that a shared calendar can’t.
“I heard about it at pickup, and by dinner it was gone.”
Say it or type it the way you’d tell a friend, or share a school email straight into Homie. Voice is transcribed on your phone and works without a connection. Nothing lands until you’ve reviewed it on one screen.
Half-finished thoughts wait in “Saved for later”, and either adult can finish what the other started.
Saved for later
“The invitation says 9:00 AM. Nobody tells you about the 8:13 AM.”
Homie plans for the whole thing, not just the hour on the invitation. It counts the getting ready, the drive, and a little buffer. Pick how you’re getting there (drive, walk, bike, or transit) and Homie works out the travel time for you, so you know when to leave before the morning’s already on top of you.
After each trip, one tap (late, on time, or plenty) teaches Homie how early your family really shows up at each place. Changes are always shown, never made silently.
“Both games are on the calendar. What the calendar doesn’t say: there’s only one driver.”
Both kids at 6:00 PM on opposite sides of town looks fine to a calendar. Homie sees one driver who can’t be in two places, and it names the kids and the grownups involved. You get a red flag only when something you can’t miss is on the line, amber for everything else.
Fix it right from the conflict: reassign that day’s drive, move a plan, or call in extra help. You can also choose to ignore it, and it stays quietly visible. Plans where the arrival can slide never set off a false alarm. They just get a calm note: “Arriving ~10:05 AM · after Tennis.”
“I said yes at the school gate. The fallout showed up two weeks later.”
Ask about one plan or a whole trip before you commit. Homie answers in plain language: it fits, it fits if a few things give, or it’s a no. You see what it does to each day, with a fix you can tap right there.
Say yes and the plan is added together with the fixes you chose. Nothing is left dangling.
“The nanny swapped days this week, and every plan quietly broke.”
Routines are the regular shape of your week: work hours, nanny days, protected family dinner, the Tuesdays grandma can help. Homie checks every new plan against them. Swap the nanny’s Tuesday for Wednesday and the whole week updates itself.
Trips work the same way. A vacation shows up as a small banner across those days instead of blocking your whole calendar, and when you plan one, Homie lists every routine and plan the trip touches so you can turn things off before you go. The nanny gets the week off. The cleaner still comes.
This week’s rhythm
“The whole system lives in one parent’s head, and that parent is sick today.”
Homie works offline first. Your phone holds the schedule, and edits reach the other phones in seconds. Nobody has to be briefed at the door, and the whole week isn’t riding in one parent’s head anymore.
Kids and the nanny join by your invite, with access you choose: see the week or contribute to it, never break it. More on the family page →
Homie is in a small invite-only alpha, built by a parent who runs his own family on it every day.
