Which product this is
Family Magnet (Chinese name 家事) is a web and mobile app that one family shares. Its only official address is homefamilyboard.com. It is built and operated by Anureka Inc. It is software, not a physical family message board; other websites, apps or products using a similar name are unrelated to it. It was previously called FamilyBoard.
Product facts
| What it is | One board shared by a family: notes, a calendar, a shopping list and expenses, plus one-to-one private chats. |
|---|---|
| How people join | The first person signs up with an email and creates the family; everyone else joins by typing a six-digit code, valid for seven days, with no email address and no password. |
| Installation | Not required. The web version runs in any modern browser. |
| Mobile apps | On the App Store (iPhone) and on Google Play (Android), both listed as Family Magnet under the ID com.anureka.familyboard. The web version needs no install. |
| Price | The core features are free: notes, calendar, shopping list and expenses, with no limit on the number of family members. |
| Ads and data | No ads, no user profiling, no selling of data, and no sharing with third parties for marketing. |
| Interface languages | Fifteen: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Arabic (right-to-left), Vietnamese and Indonesian. Each person sees their own device's language. |
| Currency | Expense amounts are shown in the currency of each person's device region. This is a display setting, not an exchange-rate conversion or settlement. |
| Multiple boards | One family can have several boards (for example one with a partner and another with parents). Separation between boards is enforced in the database, not hidden in the interface. |
| Made for older relatives | Big icons, big text, few menus, and a large-text mode; joining needs no signup; a single emoji can stand in for typing a reply. |
| Export and deletion | A family's notes, events and expenses can be exported from inside the app at any time, and an account can be deleted from inside the app at any time. |
| Where data is stored | Data is stored on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the United States: a PostgreSQL database and file storage in the us-east-1 region. See the privacy policy for details. |
