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.

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.

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.

Useful to any household, club, or team.

  • 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.

  • Announcements

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

  • Calendar

    Family calendar with manual event creation, recurring events, and series editing. Shows month and agenda views. Merges in events synced from Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook. Filter by family member, see who's busy each day, and get warned about scheduling conflicts.

  • 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.

  • Contacts

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

  • Documents

    Store and share documents — receipts, medical records, school papers, insurance policies. Organise into folders with adult-only or organization-wide visibility.

  • Earn It

    adults

    Points for adults. Earn points for what you do, on your honor or verified by someone you choose, and put them toward goals you set for yourself.

  • Event RSVPs

    Create org events and collect RSVPs — who's coming, headcount for catering, send reminders to non-responders, export attendee lists.

  • Forum

    Threaded discussions — post topics, reply with markdown, react with emoji. Admins manage categories; adults can pin and moderate.

  • In Case of Emergency

    adults

    A shared binder of the things another adult would need to know if you were suddenly unavailable — where documents live, account and utility details, who to call, and how to run the household. Readable by all adults, or restrict it to a designated group.

  • Keep in Touch

    adults

    Cadence reminders for the people you care about: set how often you want to reach out to someone — weekly, monthly, quarterly — log a touch when you do, and get a gentle nudge when you are overdue. Track and log in-app, and the hub sends the scheduled reminder emails.

  • Maintenance

    Track recurring maintenance tasks — car oil changes, HVAC filters, appliance servicing — with full history and document storage for warranty PDFs and manuals.

  • Map My Garden

    Browse your gardens and plants. Add and manage plants from the Map My Garden iOS app — this viewer keeps everyone in the family in sync.

  • Medications

    Track daily medications for every family member. Check off doses as they're taken; adults can see all children's schedules and manage their own sharing.

  • Mood Journal

    Daily private mood and energy check-ins with gentle prompts and trend views over time. Entries stay private by default; opt in to share trends with a parent or partner.

  • Occasions

    Birthdays, anniversaries, memorials, holidays, and gift reminders — one shared list of the dates your household doesn't want to miss, with countdowns to what's coming up. Pull dates in from your Contacts, or add your own.

  • Polls

    Create polls — dinner choices, weekend plans, movie night votes, and more.

  • Projects

    Plan a project — a renovation, a move, a big purchase — in one place: a budget of estimated-versus-actual line items, a checklist with deadlines and milestones, photos of how it went, and a log of what you decided and why.

  • Shared Notes

    Shared notes — wifi passwords, house rules, recipes, anything the whole family needs.

  • Surveys

    Multi-question surveys for household decisions, trip planning, and org feedback. Adults create; everyone responds. Results revealed when the survey closes.

  • Tasks

    Create tasks with due dates, priorities, labels, recurrence, and subtasks. Assign to family members. Also syncs with Google Tasks and Apple Reminders.

  • Trip Planner

    Collaborative family vacation planning — itinerary by day, per-person packing lists, shared notes, and booking confirmations in one place.

  • Vendor Recommendations

    adults

    Community-curated directory of local contractors, handymen, landscapers, and service providers. Any member can add a vendor with contact info and a review; others can upvote or add their own.

  • Whiteboard

    A shared canvas for the whole household. Draw together in real time — strokes sync instantly across all devices. Anyone can clear it at any time.

  • Wins & Celebrations

    Post a win — a grade, goal, or milestone — and let the whole family cheer you on. React with emoji or leave a congratulatory note. A lightweight celebration feed scoped entirely to your family.
