If your household runs on a never-ending cycle of "did you finish your chores?" and "whose turn is it?", DAKBoard built something for you. Meet TouchHub, a new touchscreen experience that turns your DAKboard into a new family command center everyone can use. Check out the full family calendar display experience on DAKboard for Family page.
TouchHub brings together a set of tools designed to lift some of the daily load off mom and dad and put a little of it back in the kids' hands.
The centerpiece is the Family Chores Manager, a shared chore chart that gives every family member their own space right on your DAKboard. Completing a task is as simple as tapping it off, something even the littlest kids can do.
Chores can earn points that kids redeem for rewards you set, whether that's extra screen time, an allowance bump, or a weekend adventure. A family leaderboard keeps the friendly rivalry alive, and over time kids start owning their own routines — which means fewer reminders from you and a little more independence for them.
And here's a parent favorite: there's a built-in Child Lock, so your toddler can tap their own chores off without accidentally rearranging or deleting anyone else's list. Everyone gets to participate, no cleanup required.
Note: The Family Chores Manager is available on DAKboard Essential and Plus plans.
Smart Home Control, Now Even Smoother
If you use Home Assistant, taking control of your smart-home devices just got easier. With TouchHub it runs as its own app you can tap straight into. Managing your lights, locks, and thermostats from the wall feels smooth and intuitive — as easy as flipping a switch.
One Tap to Anywhere
TouchHub also adds a handy dock at the bottom of your display, so switching between your screens and apps takes a single touch. Jump from the family calendar to your photos to the weather and back, all without digging through menus.
And DAKBoard Team is not done yet! A Meal Planner is on the way to tackle the nightly what's-for-dinner scramble, complete with recipes and grocery lists built right in. Stay tuned!
