What You Get

Everything your family needs, nothing it doesn't.

Home Base gives kids structure and gives parents visibility — without anyone having to ask twice.

Morning & Evening Routines

Visual checklists walk kids through every step — brush teeth, pack the backpack, put shoes away. No reminders needed from you.

Kid-Friendly Dashboard

A screen built for kids — big text, clear tasks, easy taps. Set it as the bookmark on the family tablet and they know exactly what to do.

Automatic Chore Rotation

Set it once. Home Base rotates who feeds the dog, takes out the trash, cleans up the yard — daily or weekly — and knows which chores your youngest isn't ready for yet.

Daily Kids Newspaper

Every morning, AI writes a short newspaper with age-appropriate news, a joke, and a fun fact — tuned to each child's grade level.

Daily Check-In Question

One thoughtful question a day — "What made you laugh this week?" Builds habits of reflection and sparks real conversations at dinner.

Parent Hub

Add kids, edit chores, see who's checked in — all from one clean screen on your phone. No app to download; it lives in the browser.

👶
Toddler Mode (Ages 2–5)

Under-5 kids get their own screen — large picture cards with big emoji icons and no text required. Tap to check off "Brush teeth" or "Get dressed." No reading needed at all.

🔊
Accessible by Design

Turn on read-aloud from the Parent Hub and every task gets spoken out loud when kids open their screen — great for pre-readers, kids with dyslexia, and families familiar with PECS-based learning.

Spirit Guides

Every kid gets a guide that speaks their language.

Each child picks a guide that shapes their daily check-in and the way the app talks to them. Cosmo the explorer, Pepper the coach, Sage the mentor, Blaze the adventurer, Ziggy the jokester, or Luna the feelings friend — it feels made for them, not just for kids in general.

The Home Base kids dashboard on a tablet
Built for Every Family

Every child belongs here.

Home Base is designed to meet kids where they are — whether they're 2 years old, just learning to read, or benefit from a little extra support.

👶
Toddler Mode (Ages 2–5)

When you add a child under 5, they automatically get their own simplified screen. Large emoji picture cards replace text-based task lists — kids tap a card to check off "Brush teeth" or "Get dressed" with no reading required.

🔊
Read Tasks Aloud

One toggle in the Parent Hub and every task name is spoken out loud when kids open their screen. When a toddler taps a completed task, the app says "Great job!" out loud. Designed for pre-readers, kids with dyslexia, and auditory learners.

🖼️
Visual Task Cards (PECS-Style)

Every task carries a large, clear icon — a visual cue that functions like a Picture Exchange Communication System card. Familiar to families working with speech therapists, occupational therapists, or special education teachers.

Every accessibility feature is a toggle — on or off, per family. Home Base adapts to your children, not the other way around. No special accounts, no separate plans, no extra cost.

FAQ

Questions people actually ask.

The free plan supports up to 3 kids. Home Base+ removes that limit — whether you have 2 or 8, everyone gets their own dashboard.
No. Kids access the dashboard through a shared family link — no account, no password, no confusion. You manage everything from the Parent Hub, and kids just open the bookmark.
Home Base works from toddlers (ages 2–5) through high school. Kids under 5 get a simplified picture-card screen with no reading required. For school-age kids, the weekly newspaper and daily check-in questions adapt to each child's grade level — so a 1st grader and a 9th grader both see something age-appropriate. You set each child's age once and the app handles the rest.
Yes. Home Base includes a read-aloud mode (toggle it on in Parent Hub settings) that speaks each task name out loud when a child opens their screen — helpful for pre-readers, kids with dyslexia, and auditory learners. Every task also has a large visual icon that functions like a PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) card. The toddler screen is picture-only with no text required. These features were designed with input from special education professionals. Note: read-aloud is powered by your device's built-in browser speech engine — availability may vary by device.
Yes. Your family data is stored securely using Google Firebase. We never sell, share, or use it for advertising. Sign-in uses Google OAuth — we never see your password. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Home Base is a web app that works on any phone, tablet, or computer with a modern browser. No app store download required. You can add it to your home screen on iOS or Android for a native-app feel.
Completely. Start from our defaults and add, remove, or rename anything. For each chore you choose which kids are assigned, whether it rotates daily or weekly, and whether your youngest is included or skipped — because bathroom duty is not for everyone.
Every Monday, Home Base publishes a fresh edition of The Weekly Times — written at each child's grade level. Same real-world stories, but a 1st grader and a 6th grader get very different reads. New edition every week, never repeats.
Cancel any time — no hoops. The free plan is free forever, so you'll never lose access to your family's data even if you downgrade from Home Base+. To delete your account entirely, email us at [email protected].
