Getting started

Three steps and the family board is live on your TV.

This page disappears once everything is set up. You can always find each step under People and Household.

Calendar

↻ Turn your phone sideways for the TV view.

Add a calendar and say whose it is. Each person gets a color and nicknames for tagging.

No one yet. Start with a calendar, or add someone who doesn’t have one.

Display

How the TV arranges its screen. With a side tile on, the calendar shows 3 days.

The TV plays a shared album from iCloud or Google Photos as its screensaver: when it sits idle on the calendar, the album runs for 5 minutes, then the calendar comes back.

Home cameras the TV can show — on their own tab, or beside the week. Which cameras work?

No cameras yet. Add one here, let the iPhone app find it for you, or turn on Apple Home cameras below.

Pick the camera's brand and Callie fills in its stream link, or paste the link yourself (it starts with rtsp:// or rtsps://). Video plays on the TV, not in this browser. Ring, Nest, Arlo or Wyze? See the camera guide.

How the TV's Cameras tab arranges the feeds, and what the calendar shows.

Apple Home cameras: the TV also shows every camera in the Apple Home it's part of, with no links or passwords. It asks for permission the first time.

Lists & reminders

Groceries, chores, packing — anyone can check items off with the TV remote.

Whatever the TV should show next to the calendar.

Weekly things that aren't calendar events — trash, recycling, street cleaning. They show as a chip on their day, and in the TV's “Next” strip when they're due.

Household

Board basics, who can sign in, your plan, and linked devices.

The board's name, clock, and how often feeds refresh.

Who can sign in and edit this calendar — up to 6 accounts per family.

One plan for the whole family — every device, every member, unlimited calendars.

TVs, phones, tablets and browsers following this calendar. Link as many as you like.
