The calm family hub. Get the calendar, lists, meals and chores out of your head and onto one screen — no new hardware, no app sprawl.
Be among the first families to try it.
The dentist on Tuesday. The kit for Thursday. What's for dinner. Whose turn it is. The permission slip due Friday. It's all in your head — propped up by a group chat, three apps and a fridge full of paper. No wonder you're tired.
That invisible job has a name: the mental load. Less Mayhem is built to carry it.
Mount any spare tablet in the kitchen and the whole family sees the same thing — today's plans, tonight's dinner, the shopping list, who's where. Always on, always current, readable from across the room. No $400 device to buy.
It's on everyone's phone too, so the plan comes with you.
Hub Mode on a spare tablet — glanceable from across the kitchen.
Everyone's events, colour-coded, in one place — with the repeats and reminders you'd otherwise forget.
Shopping and to-dos that update the second someone ticks "milk". No more two cartons.
Plan the week's dinners, then send the ingredients straight to the shopping list.
Gentle routines and real pocket money. Research-backed, never naggy, never a leaderboard.
A family gallery for the good bits. Yours — never a social network, never an ad.
The fridge note, for everyone. Pin the ones that matter.
Say it in plain words — “Add swimming Tuesdays at five for Mia,” “We're out of milk,” “Remind us to book the dentist” — and it lands on the right calendar or list. No forms, no fiddling. Meet Hearth, the helper that does the typing for you.
The newsletter with six dates buried in three paragraphs. The party invite on the fridge. The crumpled letter at the bottom of the bag. Forward the email, or snap a photo and share it straight into Less Mayhem. It reads them, pulls out the sports day, the trip, the INSET day and the permission slip, matches each to the right child, and adds the certain dates to your calendar. The maybes wait for a quick yes from you.
Every family gets a private forwarding address — forward by hand, set up auto-forwarding and forget it, or just share a photo straight from your phone.
We said no to a lot of things, on purpose.
We were a family drowning in apps, paper and group chats. We couldn't find a calm, private way to run the household without buying a $400 screen — so we built one.
The chores side is built on the same research-backed, anti-anxiety thinking behind our last app, HousePoints — no streaks, no pressure, designed to fade out as habits stick.
