Who'sdriving?
Every other family calendar shows two events on top of each other and calls it a conflict. We do the math you actually do in your head at 6 AM — and tell you which collisions are real.
Maya has to be on the ice geared up at 2:30. Eli's practice ends at 4:15, forty minutes the other direction. One driver can't cover both — so you're deciding it now, not at 2:15 in the car.
Seeing the overlap was never the hard part.
Any shared calendar can show you two events stacked on the same hour. What it can't tell you is whether that actually matters.
The hard part is the arithmetic a parent runs before the coffee lands: which collisions are genuinely impossible, which two venues sit on the same road out of the house, how long a goalie needs to gear up versus how long a field player needs to warm up, who's working Saturday, and which kid takes the bus anyway.
That's the work. Home Advantage HQ does it, per child, per sport, per family — and surfaces the answer before the day starts.
Rules your family already lives by, written down once.
Nothing here is a generic default. Every rule reads from your own household's setup, so the answer is right for your family rather than for an average one.
Arrival times, per child and per sport
A hockey goalie needs ninety minutes at the rink before a game. The same kid needs fifteen before a soccer practice. The engine works backwards from the arrival each child actually needs, not from the start time printed on the schedule.
Two venues, one road
Overlapping times aren't a conflict if both stops sit on the same trip out of the house. The engine reads real venue locations and treats a single drive as a single drive.
One child, two places
When a child is genuinely booked at two venues at the same moment, no amount of free drivers fixes it. That one always surfaces — and it surfaces as a decision for you to make, not a choice the app makes quietly on your behalf.
Who's actually available
A parent working Saturdays isn't assigned a Saturday drive. A kid who takes the bus is never counted as a pickup. A family event occupies everyone in the house, so nobody gets volunteered to be two places at once.
Detect and surface — never decide
The engine's job is to make the important thing obvious while there's still time to act on it. Which practice gets skipped, who calls the other parent, whether it's worth the drive — those stay yours.
The driving is the hard part. It isn't the only part.
Calendar & sync
Google Calendar plus club and school feeds, read into one place with the time zones handled correctly.
Carpool & pods
"One day still needs a driver." "I can cover this." Running late in a tap, instead of a buried group text.
Daily pickup plan
Per kid, per day, in order — so nobody is standing outside a school wondering whether they were forgotten.
Trips
Tournament weekends with hotels, travel, and a packing list each kid can actually follow.
Meals & pantry
What's planned, what's in the fridge, and what needs buying — with real dietary needs respected.
Chores & allowance
Recurring chores that rotate, with photo proof. A parent approves before any money moves.
Household budget
Spending pools, fixed bills, and per-kid balances. Children never see billing or bank details.
The locker
Birthdates, doctors, insurance, allergies, forms. There when the form asks for them.
Daily brief
A short morning rundown per person, including what changed since yesterday.
The parent is the control plane.
Everything that touches a child is off until a verified parent turns it on. That isn't a setting we ship in a good default — it's enforced at the data layer, so a capability can't be used before consent exists.
Children give us nothing directly
A parent creates the child's profile. The app issues a device key and a local PIN for the child's own device. There is no child email address, and children never create accounts.
Off by default, always
Location sharing is off per child until a parent deliberately enables it, is only read while the app is open, and is deleted after seven days. The AI assistant is not available to children.
Consent is recorded and reversible
Each child's consent is stored with who granted it, when, and under which version of this policy. Withdrawing it revokes the child's access and opens a path to delete their data.
The full detail is in our privacy policy, including exactly what we do — and don't do — with calendar data.
Invitation only, for now.
Home Advantage HQ is being tested with a small number of households before it opens more widely. Accounts can only be created from an invitation — there's no public sign-up, deliberately, because the product handles children's information and we'd rather get that right with a few families than quickly with many.
We'll tell you honestly where the waiting list stands.
