Question 1

Do we need everyone on the same phone OS?

Accepted Answer

No. Web works on anything. NestBoard is live on both the App Store and Google Play, so iPhone and Android households get the same app. Everyone sees the same household.

Question 2

Will it sync our existing calendars?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Google, Outlook, iCal, and email-based confirmations all sync in. Two-way sync is on the roadmap.

Question 3

Is Robin reading our messages?

Accepted Answer

Only what you share with it: typed text, voice notes, dropped images, forwarded emails. It is processed by our AI providers under no-training terms and never used to train any model, and we never sell your household data. And a person at NestBoard may see what you say to Robin, and from November 13, 2026 a program checks every conversation first. Our privacy policy explains how and how to switch Robin off.

Question 4

Can I import recipes from cooking sites?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Paste any URL from NYT Cooking, AllRecipes, BBC Good Food, Bon Appétit, or most food blogs. NestBoard pulls in the title, ingredients, and steps automatically.

Question 5

Can multiple family members share a supplement bottle?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Mark a medication as shared and any of the listed members can log a dose, and the doses-remaining count auto-decrements so the bottle math stays right.

Question 6

Can it run on a wall tablet as a kitchen display?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kiosk mode shows the dashboard full-screen, idle mode shows a big clock with your next event and the weather, and the Android app from Google Play keeps it running natively.

Question 7

Do I need to buy special hardware?

Accepted Answer

No. NestBoard runs in any modern browser, so a spare laptop, an old tablet, or a phone you already own becomes the family screen. Mark a device you leave on as a kiosk and it shows the dashboard. No new hardware required.

Question 8

Will I know if a new device signs in?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You get an email any time an unknown device joins your household, with the device name, browser, and approximate IP.

Question 9

Can a kid have their own seat without an email?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kid-mode seats are free and don't require an account. When you add a child, we ask you to confirm you are their parent or legal guardian and are consenting on their behalf, and we record the date you did.

Question 10

What if we leave?

Accepted Answer

Export everything in a standard calendar file. We don't lock anyone in.
