Homebaseby Perspective Box

Now open

One home base for the whole family.

School timetables, practices, tests, doctor appointments, chores, meals, shopping and household bills. In a busy family, all of it lives in one parent's head, a group chat and the fridge door. Homebase by Perspective Box moves it into one place every adult can see, and each child gets a private link to their own day.

When the plan lives in one place, the work stops living in one person.

  • The Today screen on a phone: the weather, each person in the family and what is coming up today.

    See the whole family at a glance.

    School, practices, tests, appointments, meals and birthdays for everyone, side by side, with a view for each person.

  • A child's school day on a phone: English, history and PE lessons with their times and rooms, netball at the leisure centre, then tidying her bedroom.

    Every timetable, every week.

    Add a class once and it repeats every week. Or upload a photo or PDF of a timetable, a bill or a receipt and let AI do the typing: only what you confirm is saved, and the file is not kept.

  • Tasks and points on a phone: each person’s points, the jobs an adult has confirmed and the penalty tracker.

    Share the jobs, and see who did them.

    Give everyone their jobs. Children earn points for jobs an adult has confirmed, and the table setting rota rotates by itself.

  • The week’s shopping list on a phone, grouped by section, with quantities and the meal each item is for.

    Plan the meals. The list writes itself.

    Plan lunch and dinner for however many are eating, and the shopping list builds itself, one row per ingredient.

For your team

Tools for the organisation behind the work.

For more than a decade we have mapped how organisations' applications and processes fit together. These two apps turn that work into software. Both are under development: request early access and we will contact you when there is something to try.

Gotham

For IT and architecture teams

Under development

A map of your organisation's applications, processes, costs and dependencies.

  • See which processes rely on which applications, and how the applications rely on each other.
  • Keep the owner, the cost and the recovery targets with every application.
  • Answer the question every change raises: what else does this touch?

Budget Box

For finance and team leads

Plan budgets by team and by type of spend.

  • Give each team its budget, split into operating and capital spend.
  • Set a limit for each budget and see at a glance where the plan goes over.
