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.

The house and what's in it: upkeep, belongings, warranties, meals.

  • 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.

  • Family Meals

    Plan the week's meals day by day. Pick from your recipe book, assign who's cooking, and add ingredients directly to your grocery list.

  • Home Inventory

    A searchable record of your possessions for insurance and everyday use: photo, serial number, value, and — most usefully — where each item lives. Names and locations are searchable, so you can always find where you put things.

  • Let Go

    Household decluttering decisions. Add items, gather votes and reasons, choose keep, let go, or Purge-atory, then record final actions and year-end donation reports.

  • Maintenance

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

  • Plant Care

    Track watering, fertilizing, and any other care for your household plants. Color-coded urgency shows what needs attention. One tap to log it.

  • Recipes

    A household recipe book with ingredients, steps, categories, ratings, and difficulty. Add any recipe's ingredients directly to your grocery list.

  • Vehicle Maintenance

    Keep every household vehicle road-legal and maintained: track service history, costs, odometer readings, registration, inspections, and insurance. Track and log in-app, and the hub sends the scheduled renewal reminder emails.

  • Warranty Vault

    A receipt and warranty vault for the things you own — purchase dates, serial numbers, receipt photos, and a heads-up before each warranty runs out.

One price. The whole library.

Apps aren't sold separately — your household installs as many as it wants. 30-day free trial.
