Android Beta

Choreographs your day.
One task at a time.

DailyDrumbeat is the execution layer that unites your calendar, music, todo lists, and screen time into one system that is always on time — running on the old phone in your drawer and the TV on your wall.

Everything is visual and age-agnostic: little kids check off chores, busy adults dominate their routines, and the whole family moves to one rhythm.

"My kid cleaned the kitchen in 8 minutes — without me asking."

One system, always on time

Four things you already use.
One layer that executes them.

📅 Google Calendar 🎵 Spotify playlists ✅ Todo lists 📺 YouTube videos DailyDrumbeat the execution layer always on time

Your calendar shows the plan. Your chore app tracks the chores. Nothing actually makes the day happen — until now. DailyDrumbeat joins the four things your family already uses and fires each one at exactly the right moment, automatically.

How it works

Three steps. Then it's automatic — forever.

1

Dig out an old phone

Any retired Android. Plug it into a speaker on the kitchen counter, the kid's dresser, or the office shelf. Cast to the TV if you want the big screen.

2

Build one calendar

In Google Calendar, attach what to do (checklist, routine) and what to hear (playlist, audiobook, bedtime story) to each event. Set it once.

3

Let the day run

At event time: right music, right checklist, spoken warnings ("Dinner in 10 minutes"), hard stops on screen time, points on completion. Nobody triggers anything.

What makes it different

Not a planner. An engine.

🎮 Chores become a game: match the picture

Timed list runs where every step shows a photo of what done looks like — your kid compares the real table to the picture, spots what's missing or misplaced, and races the timer, with their own music underneath.

  • The picture is the referee — "done" stops being an argument. Snap your own photos: your kitchen, your standard
  • Circle timer + tick strip — how long, what's next, always visible
  • Cha-ching! — a cash-register hit and floating points on every completed step
  • Personal bests — beat your record, earn a 2× point bonus
  • Post-run charts — kids literally watch themselves get faster
Lists screen with per-kid assignments

📺 Binge-proof video windows

Paste a YouTube playlist into a calendar event — "Mr. Rogers, 7:00–7:30" — and the TV plays the next episode, in order, then hard-stops when the window ends.

  • No autoplay, no "up next," no algorithm — appointment TV, like when your show came on at 7 and then it was over
  • A cut-off episode resumes next time — episodic, in order, like real TV
  • The schedule takes the tablet away — so you don't have to

⭐ Chores → points → treats

A complete allowance system that runs itself. Finishing a list credits the kid's ★ balance automatically; they cash points in at your treat menu.

  • Movie night ★50 · Pick dinner ★30 · 30 min screen time ★20 — you set the catalog
  • Objective points, full ledger — no more "but I did MORE than him"
  • You stop being the scorekeeper — set it once, it pays out daily
✅ → ⭐ → 🍿

🌙 The whole night, one event chain

Bedtime story that auto-resumes → wind-down music → white noise all night → a real song as the morning alarm → the morning checklist. Scheduled once, runs every night.

  • Custom volume per segment — stories soft, alarm loud
  • 100% screenless if you want — audio-only through a Bluetooth speaker, spoken warnings included
  • Replaces the white-noise machine, the alarm clock, the sleep app, and the bedtime negotiation

The honest comparison

The $600 family display — minus the $600.

You’ve seen the ads — the pretty wall calendar that shows the family’s schedule. Here’s the thing: the old phone in your drawer and the TV you already own can do that — and then actually run the day: start the music, run the checklist, end the screen time, pay out the points. A calendar on the wall still needs you to enforce it. This doesn’t. Keep the $600.

Built for

Brains that need to see it to do it.

🧠

ADHD households

Time-blindness meets external structure: the environment changes at the right moment — music, checklist, timer — so starting doesn't depend on willpower. Streaks make progress visible.

🏠

Homeschool families

9am math with lo-fi, 1pm art with an upbeat playlist. Each kid a phone, their own lists, their own streaks. Nobody asks "what's next?" Faith-based? Scripture at dinner, worship for cleanup — one calendar runs the rhythm.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Every busy family

Stop being the reminder machine, the scorekeeper, and the screen-time cop. The drumbeat runs the house; you get your evenings back.

Resign as the family's unpaid COO.

Stop the chaos, the burnout, and the narrating of every hour. Hand DailyDrumbeat the job: it tells everyone exactly what to do and when, and the psychology that keeps them motivated is built in. Free during the beta.
