Free on every plan
The to-do list that knows your household
Type it, say it, or forward it — it lands on one shared list. Tasks belong to people, show up on the family calendar and the kitchen board, and 'buy poster board' hands itself to the shopping list.

One list, whole household
- Capture in one box — dates, people and projects parsed as you type
- Assign to the people you live with, kids included, with parent-set limits
- Unlimited projects and recurring tasks on the free plan
- Tasks appear as a layer on the family calendar — no event clutter
- Due-today tasks on the kitchen tablet, readable across the room
- A kid sees 'Bring the signed form — from Mom', not a priority flag
- Check off from the phone widget without opening the app
- 'Buy X' offers itself to the shopping list instead of going stale
- Photograph the school form — the to-do it asks for comes with the date
- "Either of you can do it" — offered to two people, claimed by whoever does
- Remind me when I get to the pharmacy, not at 9am when I can't
- Works on web, phone and tablet — nothing new to buy
Shared projects are not a shared household
To-do apps share lists the way office tools share documents: invites, member seats, another account for every person. A household is not a project team. In Homii, tasks belong to the same people as the dinner plan and the school calendar — including the kids, with limits you set.
- Assign to a person, not an email address — no account needed for a 9-year-old
- A teen sees their own list on their own phone, not the family's chatter
- Delegate and stop tracking: one quiet note when it's handled
- Private lists stay private; the household list stays the household's
Capture without filing
The reason lists go stale is the filing tax: every thought needs a project, a date and a label before it counts. Here, the Inbox catches everything as fast as you can say it, and sorting can wait — or never happen.
- One box: 'dentist for Sam next tue 3pm' becomes a dated, assigned task
- Say it to Homii on the kitchen board while your hands are full
- Offline capture on the train — it syncs when you do
- Nothing captured is ever lost: no project means Inbox, not gone
The paperwork tells you what it wants
The form on the fridge, the renewal notice, the email from the coach — all of it asks something of you, and none of it asks it in a way a list can read. Photograph it or forward it and Homii pulls out both halves: the date to put on the calendar, and the thing you actually have to do before it.
- A field-trip letter becomes the trip *and* the slip due Friday
- No stated deadline means no invented one — it waits in the Inbox
- Forward from any inbox; nothing to install, no new address to learn
- Months later the task still says where it came from
Work that belongs to whoever gets there first
Some jobs are one person's. Plenty are not: either of you can take the bins out, and the family does not need a negotiation about which. Offer a task to two people and whoever does it claims it — the list ends up recording who actually did the thing.
- Pick one person, or several — the same control, no separate 'shared' switch
- Whoever ticks it off claims it; the row keeps their name
- Nudge anyone it was offered to when they are near the shop
- Kids' jobs point at Chores instead, where the stars live
The list shows up where your family already looks
A to-do app you have to remember to open is one more chore. Family tasks surface on the surfaces your household already checks — the calendar, the dashboard, the kitchen tablet, the phone's home screen.
- A Tasks layer on the family calendar — due dates beside practices and dinners
- Due-today tasks on the kitchen board, next to the chore chart
- Home-screen widgets with one-tap check-off
- One evening summary instead of a day of pings
How it works
Step 1
Get it out of your head
Type it in the quick-add box or tell Homii. Dates, people and projects are picked out for you — correct a chip if it guessed wrong.
Step 2
Hand it to a person
Assign in two taps. They get one notification with the context — what, when, and where it came from — not a nag.
Step 3
Watch it get carried
Tasks appear on the calendar, the kitchen board and widgets until they're done. When someone closes one you delegated, you get a quiet 'handled'.
Frequently asked questions
Is the family to-do list really free?
Yes. Unlimited tasks, projects, labels, recurring to-dos, assignment and one reminder per task are free on every Homii plan. Family Plus adds extra and location-based reminders, attachments and comments.
How is this different from a to-do app like Todoist?
Task apps are built for one professional; sharing means inviting accounts to projects. Homii's tasks belong to a household: assign to your kids without making them accounts, see tasks beside the family calendar and dinner plan, and put due-today on the kitchen tablet. See our comparison pages for a feature-by-feature table.
Can my kids use it?
Kids see tasks assigned to them inside Kid Mode, next to their chores, with big targets and no clutter. Teens can run their own list with parent-set permissions. Under-8s aren't shown to-do lists at all — the chore chart is built for them instead.
What happens to 'buy milk' type tasks?
Quick-add notices grocery-shaped tasks and offers to put them on your shopping list instead, where aisle sorting and store handoff live. You can keep it as a task if it's really an errand.
Do tasks clutter up my Google Calendar?
No. Tasks appear as a layer inside the Homii calendar — you can toggle them off — and nothing is written to your synced calendars. Scheduling a task blocks time on your family calendar view only.
Is this the same as the chore chart?
They're siblings. Chores handle recurring kid responsibilities with routines and check-off. Family tasks handle everything else — errands, forms, calls, projects. They share one Today view, so a parent still sees one list.
