Chickadee Bandit

128 apps. Install the ones you need.

Chickadee Bandit ships as a hub plus a library. Every household starts nearly empty and adds only what it actually uses — so a family of three isn't paying attention to an HOA ballot module, and a 200-unit association isn't scrolling past a chore chart.

Not sure where to start?

Three questions pick the handful of apps that fit your home. No account needed.

A few you won't find elsewhere

The calendar and grocery list work the way you'd expect. These are the ones worth knowing about.

Check-In Switch

A dead man's switch for your household. Check in on a schedule; miss enough check-ins and the people you chose get the message you left them — instructions, account details, or just goodbye. Nothing else in this category does it.

Co-Parenting

A shared space across two households, where each side controls its own home but the kids' schedule, expenses, and handoffs stay in sync.

See how it works

Safe Zones

Draw a circle around school, home, or practice, and the family gets a push when someone arrives or leaves. Runs on the Chickadee Locate companion app with background location enabled — and if a phone stops reporting or its permission lapses, adults are told rather than left assuming no news is good news.

Officer Elections

Real secret-ballot elections for a board or chapter, with minutes, dues, and architectural review requests alongside. Family organizers stop at the chore chart; this doesn't.

Time Capsule

Write to your family and set the date it opens. A year out, or a graduation. It stays sealed until then — not by a reminder, but by the database.

Secret Santa

A genuine blind draw. The assignments are generated so that nobody — including whoever set it up — can see who drew whom.

Warranty Vault

Receipts, serial numbers, and expiry dates for everything you own, with a nudge before coverage lapses instead of after.

Almanac

The running record of your household: first snow, when the tomatoes went in, which winter the furnace died. Years of it, searchable.

Elder Care

Coordinate care for an aging parent across siblings who don't live in the same city — a visit rotation, shared tasks, appointments, an observation log, health readings with a trend, one record to print for the doctor, and a shift log for a paid caregiver.

See how it works

Drawing Game

The classic collaborative drawing game, played across the week. Each person adds one hidden segment seeing only the edge marks of the panel before it, and every piece stays sealed until the host reveals the finished, absurd whole to everyone at once.

The whole library

Almost every app is open source and links to its own repository, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before installing it. A single paid app ships as a closed-source bundle instead.

  • Accountability Partner

    adults

    Pair up with one accountability partner - a sponsor, a sobriety or fitness buddy, a goal-keeping friend - and support each other. Set your own commitments, check in daily, keep a shared streak, send encouragement, reach out with an SOS when you're struggling, and get alerted if your partner goes quiet. Free to install; the hub sends the missed-check-in email alert.

  • Agenda

    Run structured meetings for your household or organization. Collect agenda items, track action items, and capture notes.

  • Almanac

    Track recurring seasonal events — first frost, first blooms, first robin — and watch patterns emerge year over year.

    A searchable alumni roster — graduation year, current city, employer, and opt-in contact info. Alumni update their own profile, active members browse, and leadership manages the roster.

  • Amenity Reservations

    Reserve shared facilities — pool, clubhouse, courts, BBQ. Board configures amenities, booking windows, usage limits, and approval requirements.

  • Announcements

    Post household announcements with admin approval, expiration, and notification support.

  • Appointments & Check-ups

  • ARC Requests

    Homeowners submit modification requests for ARC committee review. Committee votes, issues decisions with written rationale, and tracks status to resolution.

  • Attendance

    Meeting and practice attendance for clubs and troops — take the roll in seconds, see who's been showing up, and spot members who are drifting away.

  • Awards Night

    Run a family awards night or chapter superlatives — adults set up categories, everyone casts one secret pick per category, and picks stay sealed until the ceremony reveal, then the winners are tallied.

    Track feeds, diapers, naps, and pumping for your baby — quick one-tap logging, a running sleep timer, and a daily summary every caregiver can see.

  • Babysitting Co-op Ledger

    adults

    A points ledger for a babysitting-exchange co-op — log the hours you sat for another household, have them confirm it, and track who owes whom. Post coverage requests other members can claim.

  • Bet Book

    A household ledger for long-term predictions, friendly wagers, receipts, reminders, and eventual bragging rights.

  • Board Minutes

    Keep official board meeting minutes with structured motions, seconds, and recorded per-member votes. Drafts stay editable; once minutes are adopted they become an immutable public record. HOAs are typically legally required to keep minutes.

    Organize recurring carpool rotations for school, sports, or activities — assign drivers by day, handle swap requests, and surface pickups on the shared family calendar.

  • Check-In Switch

    A dead-man's switch for peace of mind: check in on your schedule, and if you go silent past your chosen interval, the people you designate get an alert with your message. Free to install; the hub keeps watch and sends the alerts while your plan is active.

  • Chores & Allowance

    Assign chores to kids, track completions, celebrate effort and streaks, and calculate weekly allowance automatically.

  • Co-Parenting

    adults

    Shared custody coordination for split households — per-child standing schedules that take effect only when both parents countersign once both have joined (one set up before the other parent joins is in force on one signature and recorded that way), countersigned one-off swaps, and handoff notes. Every agreed version is kept; custody days are worked out on the server from what was agreed and flow to the household Calendar and Today view, so kids and both parents always know where they are. Runs in a co-parenting shared space.

  • Collections

    Keep track of the things you collect: teddy bears, power tools, vinyl, anything. Photograph each item, tag it, and record where it is stored. Photos can have their background removed so each one shows the item alone.

    Shared household address book — doctors, schools, neighbors, emergency contacts. Track birthdays and anniversaries too. Add manually or import from a .vcf file.

  • Drawing Game

    The classic collaborative drawing game, played async. Each member adds a hidden segment seeing only the previous artist's edge marks; every segment stays sealed until the host reveals the finished, absurd creation to everyone at once.

  • Driving Practice Log

    Teen learner's-permit practice log. Record supervised drives with conditions (night, weather, road type), have a parent countersign each entry, and track progress toward the state's required hours — exportable for the DMV.
