Family dashboard app
Calendar, chores, grocery list, meals, allowance, and weather — one shared dashboard on every phone, tablet, and fridge-mounted iPad. Free forever, no ads.
One family account · No credit card · Free forever
A family dashboard isn't a mobile app — it's a household interface. It should live on the fridge tablet the whole family glances at every morning, on every parent's phone, on the babysitter's iPad, and on every kid's bookmarked tablet view. The same shared state, everywhere.
FamilyDash is built around that mental model. The dashboard renders identically across devices: full-screen kiosk on a fridge tablet, two-column on an iPad, single-column on a phone. Add an item from anywhere; it shows up everywhere within seconds.
Free includes the calendar (one connected feed), full chore engine with rotation and streaks, grocery list, meal planner, kid PIN logins, weather, and push notifications. Pro adds the high-value automations: recipe scanning, Kroger one-tap, AI email-to-calendar, monetary allowance, and unlimited calendar connections.

A family dashboard app is a shared interface that lives on every device the household uses — typically a fridge-mounted tablet plus everyone's phones — and gives the family a single source of truth for the calendar, chores, grocery list, meals, and other coordination. FamilyDash is purpose-built for that pattern, with a full-screen kiosk layout and kid PIN logins designed for fridge-tablet use.
No — that's the point. FamilyDash runs on any tablet you already own or pick up used. The kiosk layout was designed for an iPad mounted on the fridge but works equally well on Android tablets, on a laptop, or on a phone. The shared dashboard, not the hardware, is the product.
Yes, free forever for the core dashboard — calendar (one connected feed), full chore engine, grocery list, meal planner, kid PIN logins, weather, and push notifications. Pro is $4.99/month or $34.99/year (14-day free trial) and adds recipe scanning, Kroger checkout, AI email-to-calendar, monetary allowance, and unlimited calendar connections.
Hearth ($699 hardware + $86/yr) and Skylight (~$320 hardware + $79/yr) are dedicated wall-mounted touchscreens. FamilyDash runs the same kind of dashboard on a tablet you already own for $34.99/yr (or free). Total 3-year cost: ~$105 (FamilyDash Pro) vs. ~$958 (Hearth). Full breakdowns on /familydash-vs-hearth-display and /familydash-vs-skylight.
Yes — that's the kid PIN login. Each kid gets a personal bookmark and a 4-digit PIN. They tap in the PIN on any device and see their personal view (their chores, their streaks, no parent settings). Works on the fridge tablet, on their phone, on a borrowed iPad.
Free forever for your whole household. Pro from $2.92/mo when you want recipe scanning and Kroger cart sync.
