Coming soon

Homestead Care

Homestead works at home with no subscription, even when the internet is down. Care is an optional add-on for life outside the house. There’s nothing to buy yet.

What Care adds

Homestead, wherever the day takes you.

Use it from anywhere

Say yes to “more time?” from work, or check screens from the car. There’s no router setup, and it works with any internet provider.

Rules go where kids go

With Care, a kid’s Android phone keeps getting its rules, your answers and bedtime when it’s away from home.

A nightly backup, locked with your code

Your kids, rules, chores, history and photos, locked with your Recovery Kit code before they leave the house. We store it, but we can’t open it unless you ask us to be able to.

How Care connects, plainly

Care sends your Board’s screens to your phone through Homestead’s servers. Today that connection is encrypted to our servers and from our servers to your Board. It is not yet encrypted end to end, so Homestead could technically see what passes through while you use it away from home. We don’t store it. End-to-end encryption is on our roadmap.

Board broken? Moving house?

Everything back in minutes.

  1. Plug in the new one

    It starts up just like the first time.

  2. Choose “Restore a backup”

    Then type the code from your Recovery Kit.

  3. You’re home again

    Kids, rules, chores and history are all back. Smart-home and game-console links need reconnecting.

With or without Care

Nothing you rely on at home sits behind a paywall.

Every Homestead

Included
  • The Board, the Kids Wi‑Fi box and the Parent app, at home
  • Routines, chores, stars, rewards and the calendar
  • Screen time on every kid’s device at home
  • Weekly backups to a USB stick, locked with your code
  • Security fixes, installed overnight by itself

With Homestead Care

Pricing coming soon
  • Use the Parent app from anywhere
  • Rules and requests reach kids’ Android phones away from home
  • Nightly backups kept for 30 days, locked with your code
  • New features as they arrive
  • Priority help from our support team

If you stop Care, your Board keeps everything it has. It just stops doing the away-from-home things.
