Task Nanny

A shared calendar and wallboard for homes and teams. Widgets, alarms, chat, recipes, chores, and your Home Assistant dashboard beside the plan. You can open it today. It is still in beta — and free to try on Home.

I built it from the ground up — now you can try the software yourself.

Task Nanny — a shared calendar and wallboard for the house.

Features

Feature

A wallboard the whole house can read

Put a tablet in the kitchen or the shop. Clock, weather, photos, whose turn, tools, and today’s list — tiles you arrange yourself. Walk past it and you already know.

Task Nanny wallboard — live clock, countdown to the next task, and upcoming list.

Feature

One shared calendar

Day, week, and month — everyone sees the same plan. Write a task once; set repeats, colour, notes, and who it’s for. Leave the time blank for a quiet to-do, or add a time when you want it to ring.

Task Nanny calendar — month, week, and day views.

Feature

Alarms that don’t give up

Pre-alarms for the heads-up. Done or snooze when it rings. A louder escalation if nobody answers. Quiet hours stay on this device, so the bedroom can sleep while the kitchen stays loud.

Task Nanny alarms — ringing, urgent unattended, and missed while away.

Feature

Chat across the house

Workspace chat, private chats, and named groups. Photos, favourites, who’s online — and a Meet, WhatsApp, or FaceTime link when you need a real call.

Task Nanny chat — messages between devices in the same home or team.

Feature

Recipes the household can share

Paste a recipe or import from a webpage into a book everyone can search. Ratings and tastes help the next cook know what worked.

Task Nanny recipes — a shared household recipe book.

Feature

Chores that rotate around the house

Daily, weekly, once, or as needed. Assign a chore to a person or a device, rotate whose turn it is, and tick it off for points. Ask for approval before the points land, and keep an allowance ledger.

Task Nanny chores — today’s list, rotation, points, and allowance.

Feature

Every device, same plan

Phones and tablets stay in sync. Invite with a join code. Lock a tablet to look-only. Choose which tabs and editing rights each device gets.

Task Nanny devices in sync — kitchen tablet, quiet hours, and this-device alarm volume.

Feature

Smart home beside the plan

Save your Home Assistant URL once in Settings. The Smart tab embeds your dashboard next to the calendar — lights, locks, thermostats — or open it in a new tab when embedding is blocked.

Task Nanny Smart — Home Assistant beside the plan, with devices and a dashboard on the same tablet.

Feature

Activity you can check

See who completed, snoozed, missed, or forwarded a task. Home keeps ninety days. Team keeps a year.

Feature

Dress the same plan your way

Signal for paper and colour. Soft for gentle depth. Glass for frosted light. Pick Light, Dark, or Auto — then open the palette gallery for kids, driving, floral, outdoors, and bold nights.

Task Nanny themes and styles — Signal, Soft, and Glass, with the colour palette gallery on laptop and phone.

Feature

Easy to set up

A short picture-book tour on first open walks you through Home, Wallboard, Calendar, alarms, chat, chores, Eat, Smart, and Settings. Skip anytime — Help at the bottom of Settings replays it.
