The calm little corner of the internet that belongs to your family

What’s inside

Built for a household, not an office

One hub, shared by the people who live in it — and shaped a little differently by each of them.

The shared day

Everyone finally sees the same day

Practices, lessons, appointments and pizza night, colour-coded by person on one calendar the whole house can read at a glance. When plans change, they change for everyone at once — no group-text archaeology.

  • A colour for every member of the house
  • The same day on every phone, tablet and screen
  • Kids can check it themselves — and add to it

The family’s memory

Photos and words that stay in the family

The camera roll’s best moments and the day’s little messages live at your address, handed only to a signed-in member of your house. Grandma sees the recital; the internet doesn’t.

  • No public links to guess, ever
  • No algorithm deciding what’s worth seeing
  • Messages the kids can use without a phone number

Pick your widgets

Seventeen widgets. Switch on what your family uses.

Every hub starts with all of them. Turn off what you don’t need in Settings and it never shows up again — no ghost buttons, no upsells.

  • Messages The family message board — no phone numbers needed.
  • Polls Pizza or tacos? Everyone votes, nobody sees who picked what.
  • Photos Albums only a signed-in member can open.
  • Calendar Cool happenings, soonest first — everyone can add one.
  • Countdowns 12 days until the beach — the fridge-door countdown, live.
  • Chores Who does what, daily or weekly — checked off by the doer.
  • Meal Planner The week’s dinners, straight from the recipe box.
  • Recipes The family recipe box, photos included.
  • Grocery List Add it at home, check it off at the store.
  • Projects The treehouse, the science fair — tracked together.
  • Funny Videos The links that made everyone laugh, kept in one place.
  • YouTube Everyone keeps a watch list of their own.
  • Family Radio The stations and streams your house actually plays.
  • Family TV A channel list for movie night — nothing loads until play.
  • Stocks & Crypto A little market rail for the household investor.
  • Weather Today and the week ahead for your family’s sky.
  • Discord The family’s server, one click from the hub.

Plus the dashboard and settings every hub carries, and a rotating banner of the family’s own quotable moments across the top.

Made theirs

Every member gets a hub of their own

Same hub, same family, six very different looks. Each person picks their own skin and arranges their own dashboard — the nine-year-old’s camo command post and Grandma’s quiet steel are the same address underneath.

  • A login and a dashboard for every member
  • Panels drag into the shape each person likes
  • Changing your look never changes anyone else’s

Make it theirs

Twelve worlds. Everyone picks their own.

Your son runs a camo command center. Your daughter tends a daisy garden. Grandma keeps a harbor house. Each theme is a whole personality — its own words, its own type, its own shape — not a coat of paint. Same hub, same messages, same photos underneath.

  • Camo Field green & amber
  • Biohazard Warning-sign yellow
  • Tribal Ember on deep navy
  • Onyx Quiet monochrome
  • Steel Calm blue-grey
  • Hearts “Our Little World”
  • Orbit “Mission Control”
  • Daisy “The Garden”
  • Harbor “Harbor House”
  • Voyage “Night Watch”
  • Atelier “The Residence”
  • Noir “After Hours”

How it works

Up and running before the kettle’s boiled

  1. Pick your address

    Choose a name and it becomes a real, private web address — yours alone, for as long as you keep the hub.

  2. Invite the household

    Send each person an invite from Settings. Kids join with just a name and a password — no email address required.

  3. Make it yours

    Everyone picks a look, switches on the widgets they care about and drags their dashboard into shape. Done.

Private by construction

Your family’s life is not a product

Latch & Lantern has no feed to grow, no ads to sell and no reason to peek. It is a subscription: you pay for the hub, and that is the whole business model.

  • One family per address — nothing is shared between families
  • Photos and messages go only to signed-in members
  • No public links to guess, no third-party trackers
  • Cancel and it’s gone: your hub, your call

Pricing

One price for the whole house

No per-seat maths, no upsell tiers. If they live with you, they’re on the plan.

Questions

Fair questions, straight answers

Who can see our photos and messages?

Only signed-in members of your family. There are no public links, no sharing outside the hub, and one family per address — nothing is ever visible between families.

Do the kids need email addresses?

No. Kids get real accounts with just a name and a password. They can use messages, photos and the calendar without a phone number or an email address of their own.

What does it run on?

Any browser — phones, tablets, laptops, and a spare tablet or screen on the kitchen counter works beautifully as the always-on family display. There is nothing to install.

What happens when the trial ends?

We remind you before it ends. If you subscribe, it’s $9.99/mo for the whole household. If you do nothing, nothing is charged.

Can I cancel?

Any time, from Settings, in two clicks. No retention phone call, no “are you sure” maze.
