Future direction

Family dashboard

The family dashboard should not end at the wall.

1Anchor is being designed so one household understanding can travel appropriately between personal devices and future shared-family surfaces.

A category with a useful idea

A shared family dashboard can create awareness. It should not create another isolated system.

Wall calendars and family displays make household information visible in one place. Families still need that understanding when they leave the wall, divide the day, or look from a personal device.

Purpose-built surfaces

The same information should not look the same everywhere.

Personal and shared surfaces answer different questions. 1Anchor’s direction is to preserve one household context while presenting the right level of detail for each place.

Personal

What matters to this person?

Relevant events, responsibilities, school context, and preparation on the device in their hand.

Shared

What does the household need to see together?

A calm family view of what is happening, what needs attention, and what comes next.

Connected

What should stay consistent?

The household, people, source context, and meaning behind the information.

Current foundation

iPhone first

1Anchor is in active development for iPhone.

iPad, a Shared Family Display, wall experiences, and other Apple surfaces are future direction. 1Anchor does not currently claim released hardware, a public iPad app, or an available wall display.
