Happy Herd is the family command center without the subscription. One board in the kitchen and a full app on every parent's phone — chores, rewards, the family calendar, meal plans, and shared lists, all synced within a second.

It was built by a dad who priced the popular family display devices and found $600 screens with the useful features renting for another yearly fee. Happy Herd is the alternative: bring the tablet you already own, pay $4.99 once, and your whole household is covered forever.

CHORES KIDS ACTUALLY FINISH

Tap the checkbox, watch the confetti fly, and see the money land in their balance. Picture icons let pre-readers run their own list. Every completion can pay real allowance money, screen-time minutes, or stars toward a goal you set — the ice-cream run, the new game, the big trip.

STREAKS AND FAMILY CHALLENGES

Kids build streaks by finishing 100% of their chores day after day. Set a family challenge — everyone perfect for a week earns mini-golf — and the whole board tracks the shared progress bar together.

KIDS PROPOSE, PARENTS APPROVE

Your ten-year-old adds "wash the car — $20" to his list. It arrives as a request; you change it to $3 and approve. He learns to negotiate. You keep the treasury.

A CALENDAR EVERYONE CAN READ

Every family member gets a color. Events show the weather for their day. Paste a school email — or snap a photo of the flyer from the backpack — and the dates place themselves on the calendar, with things to buy or bring routed to a list automatically. You can also bring in the calendars you already keep: Google, Apple, and Outlook events appear alongside the family's own.

SAY IT OUT LOUD

Tap the microphone and just talk: "Add milk to the grocery list." "Avalee has a dentist appointment Tuesday at three." Happy Herd understands, shows you what it heard, and adds it where it belongs.

DINNER, ANSWERED

Plan the week from your own recipe box and send the ingredients to a shared grocery list in one tap. The list rides along on your phone in the store aisle.

EVERY DEVICE, ONE PURCHASE

The wall tablet, both parents' phones, the hand-me-down tablet in the playroom — they all join with a six-letter code and stay in sync. The one-time $4.99 Family Plan purchase covers every member and every device in your household, up to ten people.

WHAT'S FREE AND WHAT ISN'T

The download is free and includes chore lists for the whole family, the shared calendar, and family lists. The single $4.99 purchase unlocks rewards, meal planning, and magic imports. That's the entire price list. There is no subscription, and there never will be.

YOUR FAMILY IS THE CUSTOMER, NOT THE PRODUCT

No ads. No trackers. No selling or sharing of your family's information — our revenue is your $4.99, not your data. Kids never have accounts; they exist only as first-name profiles you create and control. The privacy policy at happyherd.app is short because the honest answer is short.
Happy Herd runs on the Android tablet or phone you already own. Mount a tablet on the kitchen wall, hand the app to every parent, and let the herd run itself.

Made by one family in Pennsylvania, for yours.
