The household, together

Kitchen Table

A welcoming mix of time, weather, plans, and small tasks. Useful during the morning rush.

For the kitchen screen a household shares: the time and the weather, today's plans from your calendars and a short task list that can be ticked off on an authorized touch screen or a paired phone. Weather needs a confirmed city; calendars and tasks are optional.
