Homie is a simple family organizer app that helps families stay coordinated without distractions. It includes shared calendars, task lists, and routines that work on tablets, phones, and any web browser.

How much does Homie cost?

Homie costs $1.99 per active user per month. You only pay for family members who actually use the app. There are no setup fees, hidden costs, or ads.

What devices does Homie work on?

Homie works on iOS, Android, and any web browser. You can use it on phones, tablets, or mount a tablet on your wall as a family hub. Many families use e-paper tablets like Boox for a distraction-free experience.

Is my family's data private?

Yes. Homie has no ads, no tracking, and no third-party analytics. Your family's data is stored securely and never sold or shared with advertisers.

The family and team behind Homie

Homie was born in a modern Norwegian family: two parents who joined forces in 2024 and still live between two homes in two cities, with a daughter each.

Øyvind and his sisters were also helping their parents organize their days, and needed a multi-household system to organize everyone, that was also easy enough for both kids and 80-year-olds to use.

We built Homie to help our children own their days and to simplify the complex logistics of multiple households.

The story behind

HOMIE

Born in Norway into a modern family in need of a better way to organize and succeed together:

Julia
THE BONUS DAUGHTER (Julia, 11) struggled to remember her gym bag, tennis gear, ... Mum acting as a human reminder was a sub par solution for both. She now has the tool she needs to learn how to self-organize! She is also using the Mudita Kompakt e-paper phone and a display on the front door.
PS: She's obsessed with Jinx from Arcane, hence the halloween blue hair.
Olivia
THE DAUGHTER (Olivia, 14) was lucky enough to inherit her father's ADHD. She has been an active tester and co-pilot in developing Homie into her most used app on her simple Mudita Kompakt e-paper phone.
We were both surprised that the display we mounted on our fridge is her go-to for staying on top of her day with Homie. It's just "there".
Nour
THE MUM (Nour, 33) is the type that "just remembers" stuff, except when she doesn't. She has tried and discarded organizers.
It took at least a month of seeing how we used Homie before she gave it a go, and she's now happily part of the Homie family!
She's our best and toughest critic, keeping us from over-complicating things or doing anything halfway.
Øyvind
THE FATHER (Øyvind, 45) has been building digital products since 2000. He's a super structure geek — probably a coping mechanism for his ADHD. His biggest challenge in life is to help his daughters navigate addictive technology.
Kristin
THE SISTER (Kristin, 52) lives in a hay house their father built in the garden at Nesodden, Norway.
She helps the parents (85+83) organize their days and keep their father active with band practice, squash, and other stuff 85-year-olds are not supposed to do anymore.
Her active use of Homie to organize herself and the parents from day 1 has been invaluable for the development of the app.
Thank you to the Worlds #1 Beta Tester!!!
Sonny Boy
THE DOG aka "Sonny Boy" passed away in 1995 long before the Daughter entered our lives. He has been a part of her life since she was born as a reminder that people and animals keep on living as long as the memories are kept alive.
