Nido Nido
Nido — a watercolor bird on its nest

It's Wednesday. Everybody already knows the plan.

One screen in the kitchen shows the week's calendar and every kid's chores. The six-year-old can read her own list. The fifteen-year-old can't say nobody told him about the dentist.

Hangs on a tablet you already own — there's nothing to buy

Nido kiosk on the kitchen tablet: the week's agenda and each kid's chores

The kitchen screen

The tablet in your drawer has one job left.

Nido's kiosk is a web page, not a gadget. Open it on the old iPad, the Android tablet the kids outgrew, a laptop nobody uses, even the TV browser — then prop it where everyone walks past. It never logs out and never goes stale.

Nido kiosk on a wall tablet: weather, this week's agenda, and each kid's chore column

Any screen you already own

Old iPad, Android tablet, spare laptop, a TV browser. If it loads a web page, it runs the board. Open a link, pin it, done.

No login, no timeout

The kiosk stays signed in and awake. Kids tick their own chores off without ever seeing a password — or your inbox.

Updates itself

Tick something off on your phone and the wall screen catches up instantly. One board, every device, no refresh button.

Everything you need to buy Nothing. A screen, a charger, a spot on the counter.

New — the Kitchen

The same tablet now answers "what's for dinner?"

Keep the family recipes in one place, plan the week, and send tonight's recipe from your phone to the kitchen screen. It's the board you already hung up — doing one more job, for the same nothing.

Cooking mode on the kitchen tablet: a timer counting down, ingredients to tick off, and the steps in big type

Send it from the couch

Pick a recipe on your phone and it appears on the kitchen screen as an offer — not a takeover. Whoever's cooking taps it when they're ready. The board never changes what it's showing because somebody prodded a phone in the next room.

Paste a link, keep the recipe

Drop in a URL from almost any recipe site and Nido reads the ingredients and steps straight off the page — no scrolling past somebody's childhood story to find the oven temperature. Or just type Grandma's out by hand.

Cooking mode reads across the room

Type big enough to follow from the stove. Tick ingredients off as you go, tap a step's timer to start it, and scale the whole thing ½× to 3× when there are extra mouths — the quantities do the maths themselves.

A week of meals, one shopping list

Plan the week, then turn it into a list in one tap. Every item remembers which recipe it came from, so you know what you can drop when the trolley's full. Tonight's dinner shows up on the family calendar beside everything else.

Extra hardware required Still nothing. Same tablet, one more job.

Everything a busy nest needs

Built for real family life: repeating chores, shared calendars, and screens the kids can actually use.

A chore board that runs itself

Daily and weekly chores repeat on their own, roll over when they're missed, and celebrate when the day comes out clean.

One family calendar

Connect Google Calendar and everyone's day merges into one place — school runs, practices, appointments, the lot.

Recipes and meal plans

Keep the family recipes, plan the week, and send tonight's dinner to the kitchen screen. Cooking mode is readable from the stove.

Kid mode

Hand a kid a device locked to just their chores and the calendar. They tick things off; a PIN gets you back out.

Eggs and streaks

Chores earn eggs, finished days build streaks. Kids spend what they bank on the Rewards shelf — on privileges you decide.

Vacation mode

Family trip? Sick day? Pause chores for the whole nest or one kid — no guilt, no broken streaks.

In your pocket, too

The same nest on iPhone and Android — a parent view for running the week, and a kid view built for small humans.

One shared calendar

Every event, every kid, merged with Google Calendar.

The Rewards shelf on iPhone: each kid's egg balance and what they can trade for

The Rewards shelf

You set what eggs are worth; they save up and trade them in.

The Kitchen tab on iPhone: a shopping list that remembers which recipe each item came from

The Kitchen, in your pocket

Recipes, the week's meals, and the shopping list.

Questions families ask

Do I need to buy a screen?
No. Nido is a web page, so it runs on a tablet, laptop or TV browser you already own. Most families use an old iPad that had nothing else left to do.
Does it work on a really old tablet?
Usually. Devices too old to run a modern web app get a stripped-down build of the board automatically, so an iPad stuck on iOS 12 still shows the calendar and the chores.
Which calendars does it sync with?
Google Calendar, connected once per household. You pick which calendars appear and give each a colour. Nido reads them and never writes to them.
Can the kids see my email or my calendar?
No. The kitchen screen runs on its own link that is never signed in to your account, and kid mode shows one child their own chores and nothing else. A PIN gets you back out.
What do chores pay out?
Eggs. Children bank them and spend them on the rewards shelf — screen time, film picks, a later bedtime — which you stock yourself.
Is there a free plan?
Yes: 2 kids and 10 active chores, with the calendar, kiosk, kid mode, meal planning and rewards all included, no ads and no credit card. Premium lifts the limits.
Is there an app?
Yes — iPhone and Android, with a parent view for running the week and a kid view built for smaller humans.
