Kitchen counter, hallway shelf, or a cheap tablet wall mount. No wiring, no install fee.
Everyone keeps their own Apple Account and their own day. Household sharing runs through Apple private CloudKit sharing.
Calendars, chores, meals, groceries and photos stay visible on the family screen.
Apple, Google, Outlook, Exchange and subscribed calendars appear together. Assign each one to a family member, show full details or only busy, and keep private calendars off the shared screen.
Assign chores, then let anyone tap to mark them done right on the family screen.
Plan the week, build the list, and check items off as they go in the cart.
Send photos with Apple's system picker. They land on the family screen and can be linked to a nearby event.
Send a request to one person and get the answer back in Hedah.
Hedah never scans your photo library and never imports anything you did not pick. You choose each photo with Apple's system picker, and that is the only photo the family screen sees.
No. Hedah runs on iPhone and iPad. You need an iPad to use as the shared family screen, and most families already have one. Older iPads work well for this.
Those are dedicated screens with their own hardware and a subscription. Hedah is the same idea of a shared family screen, running on the tablet you own, at $39.99 per year instead of $378.99 or more in year one.
No. Each person keeps their own iPhone and Apple Account, picks the family profile that represents them, and sees their own day. The household shares through Apple private CloudKit sharing.
Yes. The shared iPad display, chores, meals, grocery lists, family profiles and up to 50 photos on the family screen are free. Hedah Pro adds unlimited photo history and meal suggestions.
Apple, Google, Outlook, Exchange and subscribed calendars available through Apple Calendar can all appear in the household view.
Set up your family hub tonight. No delivery, no install, no $700 frame.
