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.

Run a board, a chapter, or an association — elections, minutes, dues.

  • Alumni Network

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Carpool Coordinator

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

  • Document Library

    Versioned repository for governing documents — CC&Rs, bylaws, architectural guidelines, rules — plus a chronological archive of board meeting agendas and minutes. The Board uploads and versions files; everyone can always access the current governing docs.

  • Dues & Contributions

    Track organization dues collection — billing periods, per-member payment status, allocation rules that post immediately to reserve funds when dues are recorded, and period close reconciliation.

  • Equipment Checkout

    The club's gear closet — an inventory of org-owned equipment, who has what checked out, due dates, and the full lending history per item.

  • Group Channels

    Persistent named channels for org-level discussion. Leadership manages channels; everyone reads and posts in channels they belong to.

  • Guest Log

    A digital sign-in / sign-out sheet for visitors, deliveries, and overnight guests. Members log their own guests; leadership sees the full log and approves overnight stays. Useful for shared houses and orgs with a front desk or guest policy.

  • Guest Parking Passes

    The board sets how many guest parking passes are available each night; residents claim an open pass first-come, and can release it. Atomic capacity claims keep the lot from being overbooked. Complements the Vehicle & Parking Registry.

  • Maintenance Requests

    Submit and track facility maintenance requests. Members report issues; leadership triages, assigns, and resolves them.

  • Member Directory

    Internal organization roster with profile photos, bios, cohorts, roles, contact details, and member status.

  • Officer Elections

    Run officer elections with candidate nominations, secret ballots, majority or ranked-choice voting, and formal result certification.

  • Points & Recognition

    Award points to members for participation, attendance, and volunteering. Live leaderboard with per-period resets — a social currency system for org engagement.

  • Recruitment Tracker

    adults

    Manage rush and recruitment pipeline: add prospects, move them through stages (invited → rushed → bid → pledged), record votes and notes.

  • Reserve Fund Dashboard

    Track organization capital reserve funds — balances, goals, deposit/withdrawal ledger, capital project planning, and balance-over-time charts. Board manages; all members can view.

  • Shift Scheduler

    Create recurring duty shifts — cook nights, house cleaning, front desk, security — and assign them by member. Leadership manages the rotation; members see their upcoming obligations.

  • Vehicle & Parking Registry

    Register household vehicles and parking spots/permits; leadership manages assignments and flags non-compliant vehicles.

  • Violation Tracking

    Board issues CC&R violation notices to units; homeowners acknowledge, respond, or dispute; board tracks through resolution or escalation. Full audit trail per unit.

  • Volunteer Sign-Up

    SignUpGenius-style slot sheets for potlucks, classroom helpers, carpool coverage, or shift backfills. Members claim, swap, and release capacity-limited slots without overbooking.
