Simpli-FI Family

A directory for households that want the house to run.

Time, meals, two adults, parent-managed kids, media plans, children’s privacy, and a family emergency plan. Outside links go to the publisher. We do not host their books, and we do not turn their pages into medical advice on the desk.

In this product

  • The household desk

    Agreements, honest timers, meals, grocery, Sunday sheet, and the family books. One private record.

  • Family books

    Upload statements, then confirm. Income, expenses by category, and debt service come from those rows. Type savings, investments, debt, and Zillow and Redfin numbers you already see. Net worth uses the snapshot. Not a bank. Not advice. We do not scrape Zillow or Redfin.

  • Playbooks

    Short, timed household sequences you can add to your desk. Not a catalog of famous names.

  • Life rooms

    Strength, Body, Speed, and Fuel as filters on the same timer. Numbers you type. Not Apple Health.

  • Children under 13

    Parent-managed profiles on a shared iPad. No child Google login. Read the children’s privacy notice.
