About Homestead: Household HQ

Homestead is a family command center — chores, a shared calendar, meal planning, and a grocery list that all live in one app, plus an optional wall-mounted display for the whole household to glance at. EVERYONE'S CHORES, ONE GLANCE Recurring chores for every family member, including kids — no account or Apple ID needed for a child to have their own profile. See what's due today, grouped by person, with one tap to mark it done. ONE SHARED CALENDAR View and edit your household's calendar, bridged directly to your own iCloud calendars — nothing is copied into Homestead's own storage. PLAN DINNER, GET THE GROCERY LIST FREE Plan the week's meals from your own recipe collection, and Homestead builds the shopping list for you — written straight into Apple Reminders, so "Hey Siri, add milk" still works exactly like it always has. YOUR RECIPES, READY WHEN YOU NEED THEM Add recipes by hand, paste in text from anywhere (including Apple Notes), import from a recipe website, or send one over from Safari's share sheet. YOUR FAMILY'S DAY, ON THE WALL Mount an iPad in the kitchen and Homestead becomes an always-on household dashboard — today's chores, the week ahead, tonight's dinner, and a photo slideshow when idle. Free to start: unlimited family members, unlimited chores and full history, the Today dashboard, calendar view and edit, current-conditions weather, timers, iCloud sync across your own devices, and up to 15 recipes. Upgrade to Homestead Pro for the wall-display kiosk mode, the photo slideshow, the full weekly meal planner and grocery list generation, unlimited recipes with web import, the full 5-day forecast, multi-calendar color coding, and household sharing with a second Apple Account. Homestead Pro is an auto-renewing subscription ($3.99/month or $29.99/year, 14-day free trial) or a one-time lifetime purchase ($69.99). Payment is charged to your Apple Account at purchase confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
