Do we need everyone on the same phone OS?

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.

Will it sync our existing calendars?

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

Is Robin reading our messages?

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 reads Robin conversations as a matter of routine; our privacy policy explains how and how to switch Robin off.

Can I import recipes from cooking sites?

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.

Can multiple family members share a supplement bottle?

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.

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

Yes. Kiosk mode shows the dashboard full-screen, idle mode rotates a photo slideshow, and the Android app from Google Play keeps it running natively.

Do I need to buy special hardware?

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.

Will I know if a new device signs in?

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

Can a kid have their own seat without an email?

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.

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