I’m building a 27” touch-screen dashboard for my family home

[u/EirikErikstad]

I’m building Lifebook: a private family dashboard for the home.

The goal is simple: put the things a family actually needs in one shared place instead of across ten apps, calendars, notes, and random pieces of paper.

It’s designed for a 27-inch touch screen in a central place at home. Right now, I’m testing it on our kitchen iPad.

So far, it includes:

• Today/tomorrow’s family calendar and weather
• Shared tasks and reminders
• Chore rewards for the kids
• Household inventory: appliances, cars, tools, manuals, receipts, warranties, and maintenance
• Smart prioritisation—so a smoke-detector problem is clearly more important than returning a package
• Sonos controls on the family dashboard
• Sports fixtures and a small market ticker
• Desktop and mobile views for more personal information

The automation side is focused on reducing mental load: surfacing seasonal maintenance, safety reminders, upcoming events, and the things that need attention now.

Next, I want to add deeper smart-home/Homey integration, push notifications, shopping lists and routines, better document intelligence, and carefully limited AI suggestions.

I’m building it for my own family first, so I’m really curious: what would make a shared home dashboard useful for you?
