Overview

A closer look at Homestead: Household HQ.

Homestead is a family command center for chores, calendars, dinner plans, and groceries. Household members can see assigned recurring chores and mark them complete, while children's profiles do not require separate Apple IDs. Its calendar connects directly to the family's iCloud calendars, and meal planning can build a grocery list from recipes. An optional wall display gives the household a shared place to check what's happening. The free tier includes unlimited family members and chores, full chore history, and the Today dashboard. Homestead Pro adds shared features and is listed at $3.99 per month or $29.99 per year with a 14-day trial; a $69.99 lifetime purchase is also offered in the US. This may suit households that want a central routine board, but users should compare its features with other family organizer apps before moving shared calendars and tasks.
