Shared calendar, chores with star rewards, meal planning, and an AI inbox that turns school flyers into events — on a wall display, a Raspberry Pi, or your phone. The features other boards paywall are built in.
The Loom Board 15.6″ — solid-wood frame, no subscription, yours.
Founders' pricing for the first 100 families. No spam — launch news only.

The leading family displays sell you a $300–$700 screen, then paywall chores, rewards, meal planning, and the photo screensaver behind a subscription. We think that's backwards.

Wood-framed wall touchscreen with Lifetime Cloud included. Pi kit from $199.
Really. Chores, rewards, meals, calendar, photos — included with the board or free if you self-host. The only recurring products are optional: managed cloud hosting ($49/yr, or $129 once) and unlimited AI ($2.99/mo).
Self-hosters keep every byte in their own cloud project. On our cloud, data is scoped per-family with security rules, and there are no ads and no data resale — the business model is you paying for the product, not being the product.
Any of: our wood-framed 15.6″ wall board, a Raspberry Pi 4/5 with a touchscreen (setup guide provided), or any Android tablet. Phones use the companion web app — iPhone and Android.
The software is in family beta now. The first hardware batch ships to waitlist members first — join and we'll email the date.
