Coming soon to web, iPhone and Android
The friendly planner for real life. Put hearts on the jobs that matter, and they fill your Kitty Jar like a jar of spare pennies. Then spend your kitty on a takeaway night, a lie-in or a sleepover.
Free for you and one family member. Family plan from £3.99 a month, children free.
Three steps. No spreadsheets, no nagging, and the rewards are real.
The week, the school fair, the kitchen refit. Lists and cards keep every step in one place, and Help me can set it up for you.
One to five hearts on the jobs that matter. Tick one off and the hearts drop into your Kitty Jar. Everyone chips in.
Save up for prizes you choose together: pick the film, a lie-in, a night off cooking. Atoms, not pixels.
As simple as a pinboard, as cheerful as a sticker chart, and it works on every phone and laptop in the house.
Boards and cards
A board is one project: the weekly planner, the summer fair, the house move. Lists run across it and cards sit in the lists. Drag cards along as things get going.
Hearts and the Kitty Jar
Give any task or card one to five hearts and say who they're for. Finish the job and the hearts drop into that person's Kitty Jar. It fills a little at a time, like a jar of spare pennies on the kitchen shelf.
Prizes
Prizes are real-life rewards to save up for. Add them in the Kitty tab, set the price in hearts, and cash one in when the kitty is full enough. A takeaway night tastes better when everyone chipped in.
Partners and nudges
Share boards with your partner so you both see what's left. When something needs doing, tap the paw to nudge them. The nudge glows on their home screen and the card until it's done.
Double hearts
Switch on double hearts for your partner for an hour, the rest of today or the weekend, and every job they finish is worth twice as much. You can't double your own, which is rather the point.
Children and approvals
Children get their own simple view with big ticks, their own Kitty Jar and their own prizes. No email needed. When they tick a job, the hearts wait for a grown-up's OK, then their kitty fills with a little celebration.
Help me
Talk or type everything about a new project, run-on sentences and all. Help me turns it into lists, cards, tasks and dates. Stuck on a card? Ask Help me and it suggests the next steps, which you tick to add.
Priority
Priority gathers every card and task due today, tomorrow and the day after, from every board you can see. Overdue things go to the top. It is the list to check over your morning coffee.
Themes and cats
Design your cat: ears, colour, eyes and a little extra like a bow, glasses or a crown. Pick an app theme (Kitty, Lavender, Mint, Sunshine, Ocean or Midnight) and give boards soft gradients and patterns.
Works everywhere
Kitty Board runs in any browser and installs to your home screen like an app, with apps for iPhone and Android on the way. It keeps working offline and catches up when you are back online.
A few of the people we built Kitty Board for. (The names are made up; the Saturdays are real.)
Emma runs the house and the school fair. She used to hold it all in her head. Now the Weekly planner is shared with Dan, Lily has her own jobs board, and the Kitty Jar sits on everyone's home screen. Dan does the bins without being asked twice; Lily makes her bed for hearts.
Friday is takeaway night, paid for from the family kitty.
Sam is a list person; Priya isn't, until there are hearts involved. They share a Home board and a Wedding board, nudge each other with the paw, and Priya switches on double hearts for Sam on weekends he's doing the DIY.
Sixty hearts in the kitty: a lie-in and breakfast in bed.
Jade talks through a new gala on the train and Help me turns it into a board: venue, sponsors, comms, run of show, with dates worked back from the night. At home, the same app runs her personal boards, and her kitty is saving up for a spa day.
The gala ran to time. The spa day is booked.
Mo had three weeks and a list on the back of an envelope. Help me built a House move board in a minute. His two boys packed their own rooms for hearts, and asked for help with the heavy boxes from their own phones.
Moved in a weekend. The boys spent their kitty on the trampoline park.
Ruth keeps an Allotment board and a Grandchildren board she shares with her daughter. Priority tells her what's due in the next three days, and the grandchildren earn hearts for helping in the garden.
The runner beans went in on time. So did the sleepover.
Theo's jobs board has feed the cat, homework and tidy room. He ticks them on his tablet, his mum says OK from work, and his Kitty Jar fills with a little shower of hearts. He suggested 'pick tea on Friday' as a prize. She said yes.
Pick the film: unlocked on Saturday.
Kitty Board is in preview, so these are sample quotes to show the idea. Real ones will replace them after launch.
“It's the first planner my partner actually opens. The hearts are silly and they completely work.”
“My daughter asks what jobs she can do now. I did not think I would ever type that sentence.”
“I run events for a living and this is the board I use for my own life. Help me is scarily good at to-do lists.”
Start free with one family member and one rewards board. Upgrade to Family so every board fills the kitty, with Help me, your partner included and children free.
Kitty Board is for you, your family and the friends you share boards with.
Plans, projects and events too. Chores are just one board.
No seats, no admin panels. Share a board with a friend for free.
Hearts fill a family kitty you spend on real rewards, together.
