FamilySlate brings calendars, shopping, tasks, countdowns, recipes, meals, rewards and photos into one flexible organiser — while letting each device show the modules that make sense for it.

See FamilySlate in action
Built for the screens you already use around the house.
These are real FamilySlate Beta screenshots from desktop, phone and iPad — showing how the same household can feel different on each screen.
Phone
Take the essentials with you
Shopping, tasks and calendar stay easy to reach on a phone without forcing the same layout as a shared display.
iPad / family display
Perfect for a shared kitchen or family screen
Use an iPad for a visual family hub — from star charts and calendar planning to full-screen photos when you just want the display to look good.
Put it where family life happens
Turn an iPad into a shared family hub.
FamilySlate can live on the devices you already own. Mount an iPad on the fridge, keep one on a kitchen stand, or use a shared screen wherever your household naturally gathers.
✓
Always within reach
Calendar, shopping, meals and family information stay visible in the room where you need them.
✓
Use an existing device
A spare or older iPad can become a useful household display instead of sitting unused.
✓
Still works everywhere else
The same household can be opened on phones and computers with a different mix of modules on each device.
Give older devices a second life
That old tablet may still have a very useful job to do.
FamilySlate is designed with older devices in mind. Instead of replacing a tablet simply because it no longer runs the latest native apps, you can turn it into a shared family calendar, organiser, reward chart or photo display.
Confirmed Beta compatibility: FamilySlate is tested and working on an iPad Air 2 running iOS 15.8.8. Compatibility testing on older versions is continuing, so this is our oldest proven working point rather than a published minimum requirement.

What it can do
The everyday tools your household actually uses.
Shopping
Shared lists organised into practical sections to make the supermarket run easier.
Recipes & meals
Store recipes, plan meals and send ingredients into the household shopping list.
Reward charts
Create colourful star charts and chore views that are easy for children to follow.
Tasks
Keep recurring jobs and everyday to-dos visible without another separate app.
Countdowns & birthdays
Keep holidays, birthdays and important events visible at a glance.
Flexible modules
Show a different mix of modules on each connected device while keeping one shared household.
Why FamilySlate feels different
One household. Different devices. Different jobs.
The kitchen display does not need to behave like your phone. FamilySlate lets each connected device show its own selection of modules while staying part of the same household.
01
Modular by design
Show Calendar and Photos on a shared screen, Shopping and Tasks on a phone, and everything on a computer if you want.
02
Made for everyday use
It is designed around real household routines: quick glances, simple edits and the things families genuinely need every day.
03
Simple to share securely
Pair another device using a short-lived invite and PIN, then manage connected devices from FamilySlate settings.
Beta testing now
We’re improving FamilySlate with real-world use.
The Beta is focused on the details that matter day to day: readability, pairing, reliability, mobile behaviour and how the modules fit together. Feedback can be sent directly from inside the app.
