First, you.
You're the family organiser: the one who sets things up so nobody else has to. No passwords here; we email you a sign-in link whenever you need to change anything.
Your first month is free.
One plan, everything included. We ask for a card now so the board doesn't switch off unexpectedly later. You can cancel any time during the free month and pay nothing.

Who is the board for?
Their first name is all we need. It goes at the top of the board and on everything the family sees.
How will the family message?
Connect the ones you'll actually use; the rest can be added later from your dashboard. Tap each to see the steps, then mark it done.

Anything sent to joan-4x8b@in.messagesend.homes appears on the board.
Share it with old friends who still love email, or set your own inbox to forward to it.
Put it on Joan's screen.
Any screen with a web browser becomes the board; a spare tablet on a stand works beautifully. Do this part at her house, or we'll post a ready-to-go board in a box.
- On the tablet, open the browser and visit her private board link:
messagesend.homes/b/joan-4x8b - Tap “Tap to start the message board” to switch the sound on.
- Add it to the home screen / set it as the start page, plug the tablet in, and leave it be.
That's the whole install. It updates itself from here on.
Tell the family. You're done.
Here's a message to forward to the family group chat. It's everything they need.
