For many mums, everyday life feels like a constant juggling act. Between school runs, after-school activities, appointments, work, and household tasks, it's easy to become the family's default reminder system - the one who always knows who needs to be where, when, and with what.

Homie, the family organizer app, designed to lighten that mental load and make busy family life feel calmer and more manageable.

Built by a Family, for Families

Homie was not designed in a corporate boardroom. It was born inside a modern family that faced the same challenges as many others:

• Children forgetting their lunchbox, sports gear, and school items
• Parents constantly reminding, chasing, and micromanaging
• A shared feeling that "there must be a better way"

The family behind Homie wanted something that felt like a "whiteboard on the fridge," only better - a clear, shared place where everyone could see what was happening and what needed to be done.

From that idea came Homie: a simple, calm app for families, that helps everyone stay on track without relying on parents to be walking reminders.

Why Homie Resonates With Mums

For mums carrying the invisible mental load of running a household, Homie offers:
• Relief from being the only person who "knows everything"
• A shared system that partners and kids can actually use
• Fewer last-minute scrambles and panicked searches for forgotten items
• A calmer, more predictable rhythm to mornings, evenings, and busy weeks

Homie does not promise to remove all the busyness of family life - that would be impossible. But it does make that busyness feel more organized, more shared, and more manageable.

Calm Tech: No AI, No Ads, Just a Calm Way to Organize Family Life

Homie is intentionally built as a calm tech app. It is designed to support family life, not compete for attention.

That means:
• No AI trying to predict or control family routines
• No ads stealing your focus
• No data being sold

Instead, Homie offers a clean, focused space where a family's schedule, tasks, and routines can live. Designed to get the information you need and get out.

For mums who feel overwhelmed by digital noise and constant notifications, this low-friction solution is a welcome change.

Simple Tools That Actually Help

• Homie combines the most important elements of family organization into one shared app:

Shared calendars
• Everyone can see the same events: school, sports, work shifts, appointments, and social plans.

Shared task lists
• Household tasks and personal responsibilities are visible to the whole family.

Repeating routines
• Morning and evening routines, weekly chores, and recurring activities can be set once and reused.

Meal planning and recipes
• Meals can be planned ahead, with favorite recipes stored in one place.

By gathering events, tasks, routines, and meals into a single, easy-to-use system, Homie replaces scattered notes, group chats, and endless verbal reminders.

Teaching Kids Responsibility (Without Constant Reminding)

One of Homie's biggest strengths is how it helps children gradually take ownership of their own schedules.

The app's story includes Julia, 11, who often forgot her gym bag, tennis gear, and other important items. Her mum found herself acting as a constant reminder, which was frustrating for both of them.

With Homie, Julia now has a clear overview of her day and responsibilities. She can check what is coming up and prepare herself, rather than relying on last-minute nudges.

Homie is built on a few simple principles:
• Everyone can do everything. There are no complicated permission systems.
• Kids and adults use the same tool. There is no separate "kid mode" designed like a game.
• It is simple enough for kids and grandparents. No tech expertise required.

The result is a shared, neutral space where family members of all ages can participate in planning and follow-through, and where children can gradually learn to manage their own lives.

Why Many Other Apps Fall Short

Many existing productivity or calendar apps struggle to fit real family life.

They can be:
• Too complex or time-consuming to maintain
• Focused on individual productivity rather than shared responsibility
• Overloaded with features that add friction instead of reducing it

Homie takes the opposite approach. Its interface is calm, its structure clear, and its focus is simply helping families organize and succeed together.

It manages to be powerful enough for structure-lovers, while still feeling welcoming and accessible to those who normally shy away from digital tools.

Simple, Family-Friendly Pricing

Homie's pricing reflects an understanding of real family budgets and decision-making:

• Exclusive offer for London Mums Group members, one year for free via homiehub.co/c/londonmumsgroup, giving families time to truly see if it works for them
• After that, £0.99 per user per month
• Free forever up to 50 items (events, tasks, routines, recipes)

On top of that, Homie makes a clear promise: no ads and no data sold. A family's schedule remains private and under their control.
