The Digital Family Home Hub Calendar

A smarter family calendar for chores, rewards, and calmer screen-time limits.

Keep your family organised with a digital calendar that works across your devices, so appointments, events, and special occasions are easier to manage. Kids can complete chores to earn tech-time minutes and trophies, while the Hub Lock companion app automatically locks their device when their time runs out, helping end the daily arguments about getting off screens.

A Saturday with the hub.

Not a demo script — this is the shape of an ordinary weekend once the hub is running.

The kids are up before you, and that's fine. By the time you're pouring coffee, two morning routines are half ticked already — beds made, teeth done, shoes actually located. Nobody asked them twice. Nobody asked them at all.

Jack wanders into the kitchen, taps his name, and clocks in. He's got forty minutes of tech time in the bank — he earned every one of them this week, and he knows the balance better than you do.

Time's up, so his tablet locks itself and tells him why. There's no argument, because there's no one to argue with — the screen has already moved on, and so does he. The trampoline suddenly looks pretty good.

Tonight's stir-fry has been on the calendar all day, and the missing ingredients are already on the shopping list — sorted into the aisles of your supermarket, in the order you walk them.

At home with the hub.

Where it lives and how it gets used — the screen in every picture is the real app.

Everything it does, in the order your day does.

Real screenshots from the real app — this is what your family actually gets.

📅 The family calendar that keeps you organised

Never miss another appointment. The day, the week and the whole month live where everyone can see them — synced with each family member's Google Calendar, colour-coded per person. Keeping organised is easy when the plan is where everyone can see it and you can schedule life around it.

⭐ Turn daily chores into a routine kids actually want to follow.

Family Home Hub helps keep your household organised while encouraging kids to take responsibility for their daily chores. Children can earn tech-time minutes, trophies, and money rewards for completing tasks around the home, giving them incentives that genuinely motivate. Whether they're saving for a new toy, spending money for a family holiday, or a special treat they've been working towards, Family Home Hub helps them learn the value of effort, responsibility, and saving.

💰 Extra jobs

Need an extra job done around the house? Simply add one-off tasks such as mowing the lawn, weeding the garden, or washing the car, and assign a dollar value to each task. Kids can choose to complete these extra jobs to earn additional rewards and reach their savings goals faster.

🔒 Hub Lock

What truly sets Family Home Hub apart is Hub Lock, our companion app designed to take the stress out of managing screen time. While other family organisers can track chores and rewards, Hub Lock automatically connects earned chores to device access. As kids complete their chores, they earn tech-time minutes. When those minutes run out, their device locks automatically until more time is earned.

No arguments. No repeated warnings. No endless negotiations about "just five more minutes." Just a calmer home, more responsible kids, and one less thing for busy parents to worry about.

📱 The whole hub, in your pocket

The moment you leave the house, everything on the hub is right there on your phone. Handed a birthday invite at school pickup by an excited child? Snap a photo — the party goes on the calendar and the RSVP files itself as a separate reminder, phone number included. Push notifications chase you (not the fridge) for the appointments that matter, and a quick sticky note typed at the bus stop is waiting on the hub when you get home.

🧳 Count the sleeps, pack the bags

Trip coming up, or a birthday the kids keep asking about? Put a countdown on the Notes screen and the "sleeps to go" show up on the screensaver, keeping the excitement bubbling. And as the big day gets close, describe the trip to the packing helper and it drafts your suitcase list for you. Never leave the phone charger at home again.

🛒 The shopping list that ends second trips

Remember the milk at the bench, at work, or halfway down aisle four — add it from anywhere and it's on every family phone instantly. Set the list up to match your supermarket's layout (fruit & veg first? drag it to the top) and each item lands in the trolley as you tick it. If someone at home spots what you've missed, it appears on your phone while you're still at the shops. Planned the week's dinners? The meal planner suggests the ingredients and adds them for you. And it's not just groceries — dad's hardware-store list for the weekend project lives right alongside.

🎨 Make it yours — a calendar doesn't have to be boring

Coloured themes make each screen your own, and if that isn't enough, animated scenes take you under the ocean, into a night-time city, or out to a relaxing country field — living worlds painted quietly behind your screens. The kids' profiles are theirs to customise too, with AI-created avatars and colours to match their personality.

🏆 A trophy case they fill themselves

Streaks, perfect days, first-time milestones — the hub keeps score and hands out the silverware. Every trophy is earned, never given, and the collection is theirs to show off. It's the quiet engine that keeps routines going long after the novelty of week one: nobody wants to break a streak they built themselves.

🌦 Weather that speaks up when it matters

A living sky — sun, drifting clouds, rain on the glass, the real moon phase — over your town's actual week ahead. And on the days it matters, it says so plainly: frost warnings the evening before, rain with an actual time ("rain around 3pm"), big wind, extreme UV. On an ordinary day it stays beautifully quiet, which is exactly how you know a warning means it.

☀️ Your day, before you've even opened the app

Every morning at your chosen time, a single notification lands with the whole day's rundown — every appointment, the weather, even book week. Open the hub and a good-morning card greets the first person up with today's lineup and tonight's dinner. One OK and you're away, already knowing the shape of the day.

🖼 Between jobs, it's the family mantelpiece

Idle, the hub becomes the nicest thing in the room: your own family photos drifting past, the time, the weather, the next thing on, and the kids' countdowns ticking off the sleeps. It earns its spot even in the quiet minutes — most digital frames don't do half of this, and they don't run your mornings either.

Questions about anything here? There's a full instruction manual inside the app, and a real family behind it — hello@familyhomehub.au.

Up and running before the kettle boils.

1

Open it on any device

Any phone or tablet with a browser does the job. Sign in with Google and your hub appears, ready to make your own.

2

Connect your calendar

One tap links the family Google Calendar. Events flow both ways, and everyone's phone stays in the loop.

Hand it to the kids

They tick routines, earn tech time, and clock in to spend it. The hub keeps score so you don't have to.

One plan. Everything. Every device.

$6.99 AUD / month

or $59/year — two months free

Live with it for a fortnight first. If it doesn't earn its place, walk away.

Fair questions.

What do I run it on?

Any tablet with a modern browser — the Android tablet in the drawer, an old iPad, even a spare phone propped on the bench. There's no special screen to buy, and if you're shopping anyway, any cheap current tablet is more than enough.

How do the kids' devices actually lock?

Hub Lock is a small Android app (from Google Play) that pairs to your hub with a code. When earned time isn't running, it locks the device and points them to the hub — and it holds firm through restarts, offline tricks and creative children. iOS support is on the roadmap; plenty of families simply keep tech time to shared Android devices.

What happens if I stop paying?

The hub becomes read-only: photos, trophies and history stay visible, nothing is deleted, and everything wakes back up if you return. We think holding your family's memories hostage is a rotten business model.

Is our family's data private?

Yes. Your household's data belongs to your household — it's never sold, never used for ads, and each family's data is walled off from every other family's. The kids' devices run Hub Lock with no account and no personal data at all.

Do we have to use Google Calendar?

The calendar shines brightest connected to a family Google Calendar, but the rest of the hub — routines, tech time, lists, notes, countdowns — works fully without it.

From our kitchen

Family Home Hub didn't start as a business idea. It's the hub our own family in Ballarat runs on, built by a dad because the fridge door stopped coping — and road-tested every day since by two kids who are frighteningly good at finding bugs. If a feature doesn't make our own week calmer, it doesn't ship. Say g'day any time: hello@familyhomehub.au
