Problem
Family information is often scattered: chat threads, notes on the fridge, multiple calendars, forgotten purchases. Day to day, a reliable shared overview is missing.
The family dashboard for home.
A small box in your home network, a shared tablet wall board, and a separate mobile app per family member: appointments and shopping where you need them, without mandatory cloud.
Offline-capable (PWA)
Ready-to-use hardware (incl. software)
Private in the home network
Separate member mobile PWA
Solution
AK Homebox runs locally on our hardware in your home network. On a tablet, you simply open
homebox.local
(or scan the device QR code) for the shared wall board. In addition, each family member uses a separate mobile PWA on the phone for appointments and shopping.
Core features
From the real app: focused, practical, offline-capable.
Dashboard / Panel
Main view with time, weather, holidays/school breaks, appointments, notices, and a shopping preview—ideal for wall tablets.
Shopping list (offline)
Fast entry, check-offs, duplicates, and quick words. Offline changes are queued and synced when the network returns.
Notices (offline)
Family notes with or without an expiration date. Offline-first: changes work even without a connection.
Calendar & school break status
Overview of break periods and school status (weekend/holiday/break/override) for clear day planning.
Member pages
Dedicated pages per family member for managing appointments and shopping overview.
Member mobile app (PWA)
Separate phone UI with PIN login. Live at home for appointments and shopping, on the go with cache and queued shopping actions that sync later.
Setup, backup & operations
Setup wizard for initial configuration plus backup and restore in the UI. Runs locally on the included hardware in your home network.
Why it beats alternatives
Built for families—not for project management.
Always visible
One screen, one overview. No app hunting, no context switching.
Two UIs, one system
Shared wall board at home plus a separate mobile app per family member.
Offline-first
Works even when Wi‑Fi drops. Changes sync later.
Private in the home network
Runs locally in your network—access via browser, without mandatory cloud.
How you use it day to day
A typical flow—without tech confusion.
1) Plug in the box
Power the HomeBox and connect it to your home network.
2) Use it at home
Open homebox.local in the browser or scan the device QR code. The wall board runs as the shared household overview.
3) Continue on the go
Members open the separate mobile PWA on the phone: last data remains visible, shopping actions are queued and synced on the next home-network connection.
