Today, at a glance
A merged view of the household's day — calendar events, chores, meals, and reminders — with the current weather in the header.
Turn any tablet into a family command center
The wall-calendar experience — on hardware you already own, included with every plan.
No special hardware, no extra subscription
Dedicated family-calendar displays are lovely, but they mean buying another device — often several hundred dollars — plus a yearly subscription to unlock chores, rewards, or meal planning. Chickadee Bandit takes the other path: pair the iPad, Android tablet, or Fire tablet you already have, mount it where the family actually looks, and the wall display is simply part of your plan.
What's on the display
Kids' checklists
Morning and bedtime routines as big tappable tiles. Pre-readers get an icon-only mode; each member can have their own PIN.
Announcements
A rotating ticker for household announcements, with critical notices sorted first and highlighted.
Quick add
Add to the grocery list or jot a note straight from the display — no sign-in dance on a shared device.
Night dim
The screen dims to black on a schedule so the kitchen isn't lit up all night, and wakes with a tap.
Admin-curated
An admin chooses exactly which apps and information appear on the display. Everything else stays off the shared screen.
Built for a device everyone touches
A kitchen tablet is the most shared screen in the house, so the display is paired with a one-time code rather than a signed-in account. Members unlock their own checklists with a PIN (or a simple avatar tap for little kids), and the device never exposes messages, documents, or anything an admin hasn't put on the display. If a tablet goes missing, unpair it from settings and it's instantly blank.
Set it up in about ten minutes
Pair the tablet from your hub, then use your platform's kiosk lockdown so the screen stays a family dashboard — Guided Access on iPad, screen pinning on Android, or a kiosk launcher on Fire tablets. Our shared-device setup guide walks through each one.
