The day, one clear step at a time.
One simple board.
For someone with learning difficulties, the same board switches to a calmer layout: a daily routine shown in words and icons, one tap to say "done", and a familiar carer's photo appearing right when they're due. Instead of a busy app or a list that's hard to follow.
Not a replacement for a carer or support worker — a calm way to show a routine and a gentle nudge if something's missed.
A busy list isn't a routine.
A phone full of apps, notifications and text asks a lot of someone who finds all of that overwhelming. MessageHome instead shows one thing at a time, in an icon before it's ever in a word, on a board that just sits there and never needs opening, unlocking or scrolling.
Built around routine, not notifications
Things families and support workers tell us matter most for a learning difficulties board.
A routine in icons, not a wall of text
Meals, medication, carer visits, calls — each one shown as its own icon, so the board reads at a glance instead of a list to work through.
A voice instead of words to read
A family member can record a short message instead of typing one, or just send a WhatsApp or Telegram voice note as normal — it shows up on the board as its own message, and opening it reveals a big play button rather than words to read. No effort spent working through text, just a familiar voice saying it.
Symbols alongside the words
Makaton/Widgit-style pictures next to any word that has one, turned on per board when it helps. Family and carer messages get a small icon strip alongside the text instead of a wall of words to work through — off by default, and always changeable later.
Just now, and what's next
Not the whole day at once — just what's happening now, what's next, and a plain countdown to it. Calm to look at, never overwhelming.
One tap on the "Mark Done" button
A reminder that needs confirming shows one large Mark done button — no typing, no menu. Missed ones quietly let a family member or support worker know.
A daily "how are you" that's just four icons
Once a day the board asks how they're doing, out loud with a chime, and waits for a tap on one of four big icons — no typing, same as everything else here. Whichever one they choose lets a family member know straight away, and there's always a "please call me" icon if that's what's actually needed. See how it works →
A familiar face when support's due
A carer's own photo appears on the board ahead of their visit, so a knock at the door is a familiar face expected, not a surprise.
A peek at the rest of the week, if that helps
The board still stays on just today by default. But if knowing what's coming later helps more than it overwhelms, one extra button swipes through the days ahead — still the same simple routine, still just an icon and a time per item. Off unless you turn it on.
A reward that actually fits them
Different people respond to praise differently, so what happens when they mark something done is something you choose from ten styles, not one fixed approach for everyone — a message from a family member, a calm predictable reward with no surprises, an energetic pop-up with a streak, a real-world prize they fill up towards, or a plain dignified acknowledgement with no gamification at all. Off by default, and always changeable later. See every reward style →
Built to lower the effort, not add to it
- Nothing to learnNo apps, no accounts, no passwords for them. The board switches on and simply works — the most they'll ever do is press one big button.
- Any screenRuns on a spare tablet or an old laptop, or a ready-to-go tablet from us that shows nothing but the board — no app drawer or notification to tap into by accident.
- Who runs itFamily or a support team set the weekly routine, carer photos, and who to alert — all from a simple dashboard, nothing technical, and nothing the person themselves has to configure.
- Private by designOnly people who've been approved can reach the board. No ads, no selling data, no "smart" listening.
Arrives ready to go — no setup needed
Most families choose the pre-configured tablet: it turns up signed in and already working — switch it on and it's a message board, not a device that still needs configuring. A general-purpose tablet is a small worry sitting on the shelf: an app opened by accident, a notification that pulls them somewhere confusing, a lock screen they can't get past. Ours never can — it only ever shows the board.
Already got a spare tablet or old laptop in a drawer? That works too — the family or support dashboard walks through connecting it in a few minutes. But most families find the pre-configured tablet is one less thing to worry about, not just a shortcut on setup time.

Sensible questions
Who sets up the weekly routine?
Whoever manages the dashboard — a family member, or a support worker, or both. It takes a few minutes a week to keep it current, and changes for just one day are just as easy as changing the whole routine.
Is this a replacement for a carer or support worker?
No, and we're careful about that. It's a calm way to show a routine and a gentle nudge if something's missed — not supervision, and not a substitute for the visits and care already in place.
What if the routine changes day to day?
Items can be set for every day, particular days of the week, or just once — and edited any time from the dashboard. A changed plan for tomorrow doesn't mean rebuilding the whole week.
What happens to the schedule and carer photos?
They're visible only to people approved on that board's dashboard — never sold, never used for advertising, and never shared beyond the family or team who set them up.
