No. Benudge is a complete organizer without any hardware. Beacons are an optional kit for households that want a chore to start itself when you walk up to the washer. Proximity works on Android now; iPhone is coming soon, and the free QR scan works on both. Beacons are bought from recommended vendors on Amazon, not from us. Base households can add the beacon plan for $2.99 a month. It is included in Plus and Full House.

Everything you share: the calendar, chores, lists, notes, the Today board and points. Your partner never sees your Debrief text, your Energy, your health data or interests you have not shared. Each person's private data sits behind its own encryption key.

No. Benudge shows you what it heard and what it plans to create. You review before anything is added. Speech is recognised on your phone; audio does not leave the device in the default path.

No. Energy is a plain-language estimate from sleep, yesterday's load, today's calendar and a one-tap self-report. It helps size your day. It is not a diagnosis, it never affects points or the leaderboard, and your partner never sees it. On iPhone it reads last night's sleep from Apple Health if you allow it; only the daily total leaves the phone. If you add a workout goal, you can also let it count your steps and exercise minutes toward that goal, and those never feed Energy. On Android you enter sleep by hand in V1.0.

Anthropic Claude, under a zero-data-retention agreement. Your data is not used to train models. Speech-to-text runs on your phone using Apple or Google speech frameworks. A cloud fallback is used only when on-device recognition is unavailable or low-confidence, and it stores nothing.

Every new household can start a 7-day free trial of Plus at the end of setup, through the App Store or Google Play (yearly is pre-selected; monthly is one tap away). We remind you two days before it ends. If you do nothing, Plus renews at the plan you picked: $59.99 a year or $6.99 a month. Prefer Base at $2.99? Choose it before the trial ends, or cancel in the App Store or Google Play. Tap Not now and you still get 7 days of Plus with nothing to pay. Base is never charged automatically after a Plus trial. Founding households (the first 1,000 homes) can claim 3 months of Plus free instead, then Plus renews unless you cancel.

Yes, any time, in the App Store or Google Play. Your plan runs to the end of the period you paid for. Cancelling the app subscription also cancels the beacon plan. One payer covers every seat in the household.

Points are awarded the moment you mark a chore done. If grading returns Fail, we add a reversal to your points history. We never silently delete or rewrite past entries. You can retake the photo. Grading is a Plus feature and you can turn it off per chore.

Family hub apps and wall calendars are good for parents of several kids, but they usually mean a subscription plus a screen from $289. Benudge is built for the two adults, starts at $2.99 a month with no hardware, and is the only one that verifies the chore got done. Need a wall board? Plus and Full House include display mode for a tablet you already own.

Yes, through notifications. Smart-timed nudges arrive on your Apple Watch outside your quiet hours and calendar blocks, with Start, Snooze or Hand to partner on the wrist, Done or Tonight for action items, and a ❤ back for love-notes. There is no separate Watch app in V1.0. Android users get the same nudges on the phone.

From when you actually mark a job done, what you say in your Debrief and the free gaps in your calendar. After the same job lands in the same window three times, nudges stop firing inside it; after two quiet weeks it counts as a habit. If you slip past your own window you get two nudges, then the chore is offered to someone else at 1.2× points. Anyone opening the board meanwhile sees a warm "Don't worry, Sam usually has these out by 11" rather than a reason to remind you. Your pattern is private to you, on every plan, and is used only to run benudge, never for ads.

Durable facts from your captures, Debriefs and the daily check-in, like how groceries usually get done or when chores fit best. Open "What benudge remembers" to see each one, share it with your partner or forget it. Everything is private by default, and you can export or delete your data in the app.
